Brian Robb, LISW

I Specialize in Helping Individuals & Couples Cope With Anxiety, Relationship Disconnection, Self Worth Issues, & Unresolved Past Pain. 

Individual therapy

A common reason when an individual person is coming to see me is because they want help: being more authentic, feeling more emotionally balanced, or addressing something unresolved from their past.

Maybe your story is one of being caught between 2 worlds – what the world or your family wants from you  — and who you want to be??

It could be that you are comfortable supporting others, and not so used to asking for what you need? & you want someone who can listen to you for a change?

Or, you are seeing that this strategy of pushing issues aside, is starting to catch up with you? You notice that you are starting to break down unexpectedly a little more than you would like to. 

Maybe even you struggle with perfectionism, having really high standards for yourself, that you wouldn’t apply to your friends or family members.

Couples therapy

When I work with couples, they often are committed to the relationship but are missing a sense of “we-ness”.

If this is speaks to you, maybe you used to have a solid connection with your person but find that these days, issues get swept under the rug. 

Sometimes maybe, you can’t even tell what the real issue is when you both fight?

Or, the way you both fight is exhausting — it very quickly spirals. & the issues never feel resolved anyways.

And it all leaves you feeling desperate to be able to resolve these issues and feel that sense of partnership again.

How I help

I can help you make sense of & organize this stuck pattern in your life.
And over time, find relief from the stuckness. Feeling the balance & connection you really crave.

Together we can unpack what is happening for you emotionally and in your relationships. I help us do that by creating an inviting & open atmosphere, where we can address these issues at your pace.

I primarily utilize a type of therapy called Emotionally Focused Therapy, which utilizes the science of attachement & bonding to help people better understand themselves, their emotions, and their connections.
Of course, people are diverse and so I always strive to find what approach fits for each individual person. The beginning 3-4 sessions help us do that & find the direction to go in together. And I also want to mention that I celebrate & am curious about diversity because it’s important to me that people can show up fully as themselves with me 

Over time, we get to the deeper roots of what is causing this disconnection and that creates a path for connection, healing, & generally more flexibility in life.

We can start to move through emotions; instead of being overwhelmed by them, or running from them, hoping they just go away.

When this happens, people often talk about feeling emotionally “lighter”; and feeling more confidence in themselves, and their bonds with others.

Reach out to me if this sounds like it could be helpful to you and we can talk more. I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation to help us see if we would like to schedule a first visit.
