About

Robin Joy Beren, PhD

I believe in storytelling, and that the act of telling ones own story can be one of the most therapeutic experiences possible. As a therapist, I am a skilled listener, able to help clients understand their own stories. My style is interpersonal, open, and communicative, recognizing that each person is inherently valuable, possessing an innate capacity for wisdom and wholeness.

Therapy is an opportunity to learn better ways to live and thrive in the present. Whether the goal is a short-term, pragmatic solution to address a particular concern, or to engage in an in-depth exploration of a serious longstanding issue, I match my approach to clients unique needs to enable them to successfully achieve personal goals and fulfillment. I help them to overcome obstacles, fears, and recurring, self-defeating attitudes and behaviors. Through therapy [our work together], they learn new skills and strategies to live the lives they want, heal from loss, betrayal, and broken trust, and replace shame with self-acceptance.

Services As a therapist and trainer with more than 25 years experience, I have extensive expertise working with people of all walks of life. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My work with couples spans all relationship stages, including pre-marital guidance, parenthood, empty-nest, and divorce. I am particularly interested in helping couples maintain their relationship while parenting, and work with families of all descriptions, including blended families. I specialize in transitions: from teens and young adults who want to identify their goals and work on changing relationships with their families; to mid-life crises, career and lifestyle changes; divorce; loss and bereavement. My clientele includes entrepreneurs, corporate workers, artists, writers, teachers, visionaries, healers, caretakers, adult children of alcoholics, and grief and trauma survivors.
