Are you experiencing depression or anxiety and rather than going easy on yourself, the voice in your head is telling you to “toughen up” or “get over it?” Does it feel as if you and your partner are speaking different languages when you talk to each other and with each attempt, the frustration increases? When you feel anger and conflict, you lose clarity. We don’t “just” feel, do, or say something. In couple’s therapy, I shift the focus from the absolutes of she/he always or he/she never does, this is what he/she thinks.

Mindful Solutions / Robin Johnson
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

We live in a very stressful time. Mindfulness is vital as we must increasingly live in the present. I work with clients to improve self-awareness: change beliefs, habits and approaches that keep us stuck. Positive psychology, used as a tool for improving mental health, seems utterly connected to better physical health. Clients report feeling more alive, more in control, better able to face internal and external obstacles including extreme stress, challenges, and more courage to change their world. I help folks tap into their own internal power and confidence and grow in their relationships (work and play).
