Narrative
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I am a therapist who approaches this work with steadiness, depth, and respect for the complexity of being human. I bring nearly two decades of experience in the mental health and addiction field, including work in high acuity and relationally complex settings, which has shaped a grounded and thoughtful clinical presence. I am comfortable sitting with intensity, uncertainty, and contradiction, and I do not rush people toward solutions before there is understanding. My priority is creating a therapeutic space that feels emotionally safe, contained, and honest, where difficult material can be explored without fear of judgment or pressure to perform.
I do not see people as broken or deficient. I understand symptoms, patterns, and behaviors as responses that developed in context, often as ways of coping, protecting, or surviving. Over time, these responses can become limiting or painful, but they usually make sense when viewed through the lens of lived experience. Therapy, for me, is an opportunity to slow things down enough to understand what has shaped you, what feels misaligned now, and what continues to repeat despite your best efforts to change it.
My style is relational, direct, and collaborative. I value honesty over reassurance and clarity over quick fixes. I am engaged in the work and will offer reflection, perspective, and challenge when it is useful, while remaining attuned to pacing and readiness. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and accountability, and that change is most sustainable when it grows from insight, agency, and choice rather than pressure or shame.
I work well with clients who are motivated to engage in foundational work and who are open to looking beneath the surface of symptoms or conflict. This does not mean you need to have answers or know exactly where to begin. It means a willingness to be curious, reflective, and honest about what is working, what is not, and what feels difficult to face alone. Therapy is not about becoming someone else. It is about reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been silenced, protected, or lost along the way.
At its core, my work is guided by humanistic values and a belief in each person’s capacity for self understanding and meaningful choice. I do not position myself as an authority over your inner life. Instead, I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to make sense of your experience and move forward in ways that feel coherent, intentional, and sustainable. I hold this work with care, seriousness, and humility, recognizing the trust it requires to invite someone into your inner world.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Meeting online allows you to choose the safest and most comforting environment to you, and, the time when your brain and body are most available for deeper, emotional work. I'll get to know your space, your language, and your stories, and together we'll grow to use your choice of environment and tools as resources for our therapeutic work. While I can't welcome you into an office with a handshake, we're able to meet from our independent spaces with eye contact and genuine expressions of connection. We're still able to effectively use an integrative approach using body-oriented and cognitive techniques in therapy, including: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning Experience (DARe), an attachment-based approach to Somatic Experiencing. I am participating in the three-year Somatic Experiencing training program as well to continue refining skills of working with chronic pain and illness as a consequence to long stored fear responses in the body.

David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
You may look successful and put-together on the outside, yet feel tense, blocked, or dysregulated inside. Many of my clients—artists, creatives, and creative executives—are used to pushing through self-doubt, burnout, and relational pain without fully working through it. At a certain point, pushing through stops working. You want to feel like yourself again. I specialize in helping high-functioning creatives and professionals move beyond coping and into deeper, more effective emotional work. Together, we focus on what’s underneath—so you can feel more grounded, alive, and free in both your work and your personal relationships.
