Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

All of us face challenges in dealing with what life can often throw at us. Sometimes we need some help or an outside perspective that we can trust and feel safe with to assist us to see these challenges in a new light. As this can be an intimidating process for some, I strive to create a safe and trusting space for folks to begin to face their challenges. My aim is to be as authentic and accessible as possible as therapy can be an intimidating and unknown process to many. One needs to feel safe to explore and change aspects of themselves or their lives and one of my main goals is to create a safe and equitable space to achieve this.

Are you getting the love and respect that you deserve? Are you suffering from low self esteem which is reflected in your inability to have a nurturing, loving relationship? Do you wish you could stop repeating the same patterns in spite of all the work you have done on yourself? Do you wish you were stronger and more resilient? Would you like to develop the capacity to experience more joy and wellbeing?

At certain times in our lives, we become aware of uncomfortable feelings, and it may begin effecting our mood, sleep, relationships and general well being. We are living under very difficult and unusual circumstances that make life really hard sometimes. I can offer you a comfortable space to simply talk about what is bothering you. Together, we can explore what is happening in your life, and ways to work through the difficulties that are keeping you from the happiness you so richly deserve. I work with adults, always doing my best to provide all of my expertise in understandable, and helpful ways.

I know this feels like one of the lowest moments in your life. Maybe alcohol feels like your closest ally and no one understands. Perhaps the trauma of the past keeps haunting you or the communication between you and your loved ones is not working. You are doing the right thing by reaching out and the fact that you arrived here shows that there is hope ahead. We will find you comfort without the consequences of addiction. Your loved ones will hear you and understand you. A full nights sleep without nightmares is possible. You deserve to exhale and feel peace and security. You are not alone and I would be honored to guide you.

In life we often experience once beautiful relationships that have become strained or distant leaving us feeling depressed, anxious, ineffective or alone. Old anger, boundary issues, financial stress, or pain of loss can leave you at odds with friends, co-workers or the family members you love. As a parent you may feel guilty or overwhelmed as you watch your children struggle with academics, disadvantages, peer relationships or self-esteem. Perhaps you are that child or teen feeling pulled down by the expectations of teachers or parents,divorce, social isolation, the legal system or the complexities of an intimate relationship.

Although it may feel risky to reach out, it is partly through this risk that change and healing can begin. I welcome your fears and doubts, both are common companions on the first part of a new journey. If you're struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, low self-worth, feeling afraid or confused by some of your experiences in life, know that you are not alone and there is a way through. We'll work together to help you navigate these challenges, build and maintain a sense of optimism. I invite you to take the first courageous step toward healing.

If you are ready to make a change, you don't have to go it alone. Whether you're seeking therapy to better cope with life's challenges, heal from the past, or have more fulfilling relationships, I work to provide a safe, non-judgmental space based on respect and compassion. By attending to your emotional needs, I can support you in overcoming the difficulties that may feel overwhelming. Sometimes, ruptures in our relationships wound us. The therapeutic relationship can be key to healing. I see my client's resiliency and recognize our ability to overcome adversity and achieve positive outcomes.

People seek the services of a therapist for a variety of different reasons.  If you are seeking therapy because you are suffering (for any reason) and feel motivated to find a solution for your suffering, and are capable/willing to be introspective, honest, focused, and committed to your own healing process, then I can help you.  I work well with clients who are willing to challenge their old defensive views of their lives.

If you are considering making some changes in your life and need some guidance on how to move forward, you would benefit from having a motivational interviewing conversation as the first step to create space and explore what is possible for you. As a trained Motivational Interviewing and Action and Commitment Therapy clinician, I can help you explore ambivalent thoughts in order to help you make those changes, and support you in creating a plan of action, if you choose to make some changes. It's time to explore what's available for you!

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

Change is certain. How we respond to change, to stress, and to the challenges of life makes all the difference. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, professional setbacks, creative blocks, family challenges, or marriage dissatisfaction, my job is to help you move forward. My intention is to provide a safe, and welcoming environment for you to gain the support you deserve. I invite you to learn new tools and strategies that can help you come away with more inner peace, clarity, resilience, and confidence. Together we can create a personalized and effective approach to help you quickly reach your goals.

Are you ready to experience trust, intimacy, and love again? When these areas are compromised in any relationship, the health and vitality of that partnership suffers. When that relational damage is a result of infidelity, porn, affairs, on-line chats, or hook-ups, often, neither the partner nor the addict know where to turn for help. As a Certified Sexual Recovery Therapist, I am committed to providing a lifeline for both individuals and couples so that authentic communication and integrity can be restored.

If you're wanting to grow and change, heal old traumas, navigate a life transition, or work on relationships, I can help. Using targeted therapies such as cognitive-behavioral, depth psychology, EMDR, hypnosis and mindfulness, together we create meaningful change according to the goals you bring to therapy. My background in transpersonal psychology allows me to work with the whole person, including your psychological, spiritual, intellectual, creative, physical and community life. And my prior career in business helps me understand the real-world challenges you may face in everyday life. Read more at: www.robinseeleyonline.com

I help men who are struggling in their relationships. You have tried everything to make your relationships better. Every day you solve problems, but this is one you just can't seem to fix. You know that depression, anxiety, or anger issues gets in the way of the type of relationships you really desire. You don't want to talk to your partner about it because it's your problem to fix, why cause them more stress anyway? It's been years of hearing the same complaints and criticism from your partners, and you are finally ready to make a real change.

Now licensed in California and Oregon. When we allow ourselves to connect with our physical experience it often allows us to move through our emotional experience with more ease. Life is full of big emotions. Using tools like mindfulness and body/mind awareness, I help clients build a library of coping strategies for various challenges to empower them to manage the big feelings that arise. This framework works aids in improve a variety of issues and difficulties, but some of the challenges I work with people most often in are anxiety, depression, life transitions and repatterning behaviors and relational interactions.

I work with children, adults and couples addressing their emotional issues from an attachment oriented perspective. I have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy and Somatic Therapy. I respect for Carl Roger's work and also Gestalt Therapy and am a Humanistic therapist. I like working with the child within with my adult clients, helping to heal the emotional wounds from the past.

I specialize in working with folks who are LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, and/or kinky. I am dedicated to supporting folks in developing a healthy relationship with consent and boundaries; empowering folks to step fully into living a life in which they can identify their desires and have them met. I believe you are the expert of your own experience and my role is to create a container for you/us to explore within, and to support you in the processing of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, allowing you to move toward your goals. I strive to employ a trauma-informed lens with a dedication to anti-racist and anti-oppression practices

I enter the therapeutic space with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment, and without preconceived notions of who you are or what you would like to gain from therapy. I practice cultural humility and open-mindedness, and truly believe that every individual is unique and holds authority over their own identity and story. I welcome ALL people to my practice. My goal is to build a safe space with you that allows me to meet you where you are, and at the same time challenge you to take hold of opportunities for growth when you are ready.
