“Alex” Caroline Robboy, CAS, MSW, LCSW is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Center for Growth Inc. Alex practices marriage and family therapy and sex therapy, and also conducts periodic seminars about human sexuality throughout the northeastern United States. Ms. Robboy has been practicing therapy since 1993. In 1996, she began specializing in marriage counseling and sexual function / dysfunction.. Her other areas of interest include addiction, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, pregnancy, postpartum depression. She has published in journals, magazines, lectured to healthcare professionals, and been featured in national periodicals and books. She has also appeared as an expert on several television and radio talk shows.

I believe in taking a holistic approach to counseling. Since most issues are interrelated, positive change in one area begins a ripple effect of change in others. My training and over 25 years of clinical experience is diverse, addressing issues related to relationship problems, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief and stress. In addition, I offer two women's groups and an individualized Anger Management Program. Since 1995, I have been an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Human Relations at the University of Oklahoma. Courses taught include, Understanding Addictions, Stress Management, Chemical Dependency, Human Emotions and Advanced Counseling Skills. One of the most effective interventions I use is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, (EMDR). It is enormously successful in treating PTSD and is often used with complicated grief issues. EMDR came to Oklahoma in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, on April 19, 1995. This tragedy resulted in widespread trauma and grief, throughout the state. A team of volunteer EMDR therapists immediately flew into Oklahoma City and worked tirelessly for several months, providing this therapy to victims, survivors and rescue workers. I was fortunate to have been in the group of 300 licensed therapists who were trained to carry on their work. As a result, I became certified in EMDR and have incorporated it into my therapy practice. It has allowed my clients to more effectively cope with and resolve a wide variety of issues and problems affecting their quality of life. EMDR continues to be one of the fastest, most valuable resources for individual healing. I am a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Master Addictions Counselor and a Certified EMDR Therapist. My practice utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy, showing the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior. I also offer assertiveness and stress management training, in addition to chemical dependency counseling and chemical dependency interventions.

With over 25 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help adults, adolescents, and first responders (and their families) navigate life’s toughest moments—including depression, grief, codependency, career burnout, anxiety, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to make a meaningful change, I offer a supportive space to gain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with your core strengths. I provide therapy in person in Sonoma and Marin Counties, as well as virtually throughout California.

I counsel individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and adults. Dr. Chapline is highly skilled at the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Ego State therapy and psycho-education. She will use her vast repertoire of additional modalities based upon a particular client's need. I enjoy my work! I love the field of psychology because it is so vast. I care about helping people move toward psychological wellness and motivating and inspiring them to reach goals. I consider therapy to be a valuable component of the walk of one's inner journey toward self completion. Psycho-education permits understanding of the origin of problematic symptoms, and how an individual became well. This type of knowledge creates skills that are transferable across life events and time.

You have found an empathic and supportive therapist. I work with adults and adolescents who have a variety of mental health issues such as: depression, anxiety, and various forms of traumatic issues. I do individual counseling and couple/family counseling. I apply the following clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Motivational Interviewing, problem solving and REBT to help clints deal with thier issues. I also work with individuals who have chronic medical issues such as HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and cancer to help them deal effectively and cope with their overwhemeling medical condition(s). I help individuals who are feeling loss and hopeless with life learn how to begin a new journey to a new you.

I welcome individuals and couples from traditional, non-traditional, heterosexual and lgbtq ifestyles who live in the Northern California Bay Area. My areas of specialization are EMDR for trauma resolution and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. I am Certified as an EMDR Therapist by EMDRIA ( the EMDR International Association) and Certified as an Emotionally l Focused Therapist by ICEEFT ( The International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy). My style reflects a synthesis of cognitive, body-centered (somatic), emotionally focused and psychodynamic approaches to couples, individual and group therapy. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: Many people who suffer from low self esteem, anxiety, symptoms of trauma or relationship struggles also grapple with negative core beliefs about themselves. Some of the common negative core beliefs include: I'm a bad person, I'll always get it wrong, I'm defective, It's my fault, I'll never feel safe, I'm helpless, I'm stuck and I don't have any choices. Those beliefs usually come from a time when we were profoundly overwhelmed by a frightening, chaotic or unpredictable situation. A type of therapy called EMDR which stands for ( Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be a way to turn around those beliefs and create a new adaptive way of seeing oneself that is grounded in a healthy adaptive adult view of reality. In addition to EMDR, I often incorporate body-centered ( somatic) therapy. Somatic therapy is a way to study how we form our habitual body-based patterns- some of which work very well and others that are not working so well in relation to ourselves and others. In the process, we can learn how to create new ways of organizing ourselves in a muscular-skeletal way that result in greater options and choices in how we live our lives. COUPLES and FAMILY THERAPY: One of my specializations is Emotionally Focused Therapy- an evidenced-based approach to helping couples and families tap into their emotions ( the good, the bad and the ugly) and create a solid foundation for deep, resilient, intimate emotional healing and connection based on trust and understanding.

As a systems-oriented psychotherapist and coach, my goal is to help you find your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying systems therapy approaches and techniques, together we will identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life or career. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life or career, I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals. Please call or email me to schedule an individual or couples session, either in person or online.

Conducting a session using your computer or smartphone allows us to see and hear each other in a secure, encrypted environment.

OVERVIEW Together we look at your life to see what works, what doesn’t, and why. We’ll see who you are, the relationships you’re in, and what stops you from having the life you want. We’ll see how you act, think, feel, and relate to others today and how those have been affected by your life experiences. We’ll work to change things so your life does work for you. TRAUMA You may feel anxious, depressed, or alienated. Here you can feel safe, talk honestly about what happened and about how it still affects you, even when other people don't understand or can't stand to hear it any more. I help you understand why you’re reacting as you do, even when you may feel out of control or a little "crazy." You'll learn ways to work through the psychological and emotional impact of what happened so you can get your life back. If you or your family member is a victim of violent crime, you may be eligible for therapy at no cost to you. ADDICTIONS (Substances and Behaviors) You might have difficulty with alcohol or drugs, or you may need help evaluating if that’s true, how great the difficulty is, or what you can do about it. You may also be asking similar questions about sexual behaviors or compulsions, porn, gambling, Internet usage, spending, eating, cutting, or anything else you do that feels questionable or out of control. Some people feel like they are addicted to another person, what sometimes is referred to as "love addiction." GAY/LESBIAN/BISEXUAL ISSUES While I work with heterosexuals, I also work with many gay, bisexual, or lesbian people, both individually and in couples. If you’re in a process of self-discovery, you’ll be the one to decide what your sexual orientation and identity is. If you’re now coming out, together we can consider if, when, how, and with whom you decide to do it. If you’re clear and comfortable with your sexual orientation, I can give you safe place where you can be open about who you and how HIV has impacted your life or your relationships MIND/BODY The mind and body are functionally identical. What you think affects how you feel, and what you feel affects how think. I work at both levels, with people who are interested in doing that. For people who aren't interested in the this work, I am happy to stay strictly in a talk-therapy mode. YOU SET THE COURSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.

Conveniently located in the S. Bay area of Los Angeles for over 30 years. Telephones answered 24/7. The learning and the healing that occurs during Psychotherapy and/or Counseling requires an active effort on the part of the client for the therapy to be successful. We strive to maintain the privacy of our clients so that you can feel comfortable sharing very personal matters and participating in the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy involves letting your therapist get to know you. In the course of doing so your therapist will begin to say things to you that help you develop a better self-awareness. We will help you realize skills you possess that you can utilize to help yourself and to get along better with others. We will often suggest ways that you can test ideas or practice new skills during the time between appointments. Psychotherapy has been shown to be very helpful. It can help lead to better relationships, improved communication, and a significant reduction of feelings of unhappiness or distress. It can help you resolve specific problems, or increase the range of choices in your life so that it can be more satisfying and productive. You should be aware that sometimes clients that start therapy feel worse before feeling better. Psychotherapy sometimes involves recalling unpleasant aspects of your past history. Our job is to help you understand and cope with all of this in a way that helps you to feel better and have a better future. Our staff is experienced in a wide range of therapeutic styles. Each of us has individual interests and skills. We work together as a team when different family members need different kinds of help. We are glad to coordinate our efforts with other professionals that might be helping you at the same time (such as your medical doctor). We try very hard to protect the privacy of our clients. California law protects the confidentiality of communications between a client and a mental health provider. Information about our clients is only released when we have your permission. We will always discuss with you, in advance, how we want to respond to requests from others about you.

I practice Affect Regulation Therapy which is effective for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, etc. My special niche is Addiction; i do prevention, intervention, and maintenance. The most successful forms of therapy are those that stress the relationship between the therapist and client. As a scholar of brain development (under the tutelage of Dr. Allan Schore), I have learned that an attuned relationship between therapist and client can actually change the brain; that is, it can create more connections between the synapses, thus improving the mental health of the individual. I do both long-term and short-term psychotherapy and I get spectacular results~~

Relationship conflict? Has trust been broken? Are you considering ending your relationship? Do you feel that your partner is no longer the person you fell in love with?

Let me help you find answers to the questions you have about your relationship. Let me help you increase respect, trust, friendship, passion and intimacy with your partner. Did you know that techniques used 15 years ago (and sadly by some therapists today) have actually been shown in research to be more likely to split couples apart than unite them??? When you make the decision to spend your time and money on counseling, you want it to work!!! That's why I use approaches by Dr. Gottman and Sue Johnson created from over 20 years of research with real couples. It allows me to provide counseling in a way than most couples find refreshingly different and more interactive than they imagined.

Jennifer has a goal-oriented, person-centered, direct style of therapy that is intended to help you make the changes you want to make. She believes that therapy is a collaborative endeavor that takes place within an encouraging, empathic and non-judgmental environment. She strongly believes in tailoring a treatment plan to each client's needs while applying a variety of therapeutic and holistic techniques from her clinical training and experiences. Jennifer believes that every person has the potential to be successful but at times may not have the skills to accomplish their goals. Therefore, the aim of therapy is to work with the individual or family to identify obstacles, strengths and goals while providing guidance, support and empowerment. Counseling is intended to help you gain understanding, find meaning and make changes to obtain a better quality of life that you envision for yourself.

I am here to guide you through your journey of self-discovery and personal growth. My approach is to help you gain a deeper awareness of your experiences, uncover hidden aspects, and find ways to be true to yourself.

I am honored to offer you a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore new paths and overcome obstacles.

I use traditional "talk therapy" to meet you where you are while applying the techniques of mindfulness based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology and other approaches to help you uncover your authentic self and ultimately reach your optimum potential. I believe that no one understands your experience as well as you do. I also believe real growth and positive change are most possible when a person feels safe and supported. For that reason, I strive to create an honest, sincere, non-judgmental and personable environment for the purposes of counseling and therapy. Autism and Asperger's are my specialties. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with Children, Teens and Adults with ASD. I also provide counseling and support for parents and family members who are caring for a loved one with ASD and conduct workshops on academic skill development. I offer Social Awareness and Confidence Group for Children, Teens and Adults. Groups are intentionally small (no more than 3 in a group) and carefully selected to ensure a good fit for all. Rates for groups are much lower than individual therapy.

I work mostly with men who are feeling alone, angry, and ashamed. Most men in our society experience profound isolation and dissatisfaction with their lives, which they think is the way it's "supposed" to be. This couldn't be further from the truth. Our work together addresses these issues so that you can be alive and free. I believe that humans heal through connecting with others and I hope to make that connection with you. My approach also takes into account the larger forces that we have to deal with on a day to day basis in order to help therapy be more effective and lasting. I work from a Psychodynamic and Systemic framework but my honestly and authenticity is offered above all else.
