Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I came to this work through a deep respect for the complexity of human experience and the ways people adapt in order to survive. Over the years, I have seen how pain, loss, and conflict can quietly shape a person’s inner world, often long before they have language for it. I am continually moved by the courage it takes to look at these experiences honestly and to ask for support when something no longer feels sustainable.
What draws me to this work is the opportunity to sit with people at meaningful crossroads in their lives. I value conversations that are real, reflective, and grounded, and I believe healing happens not through quick answers, but through understanding, presence, and trust built over time. I approach therapy with curiosity and humility, holding space for complexity rather than certainty.
At a personal level, I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. I am committed to showing up thoughtfully and consistently, honoring the responsibility that comes with being invited into someone’s inner life. This work matters to me because it offers the possibility of greater clarity, connection, and integrity, both within ourselves and in how we relate to others.

Bruce Howard
Psychologist, PhD
For over 30 years, I have brought expertise, creativity, enthusiasm, and positive change to individuals and couples I have worked with. To achieve personal goals, effective therapy must bring integration of the physiological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions of our functioning.

Jamie Fortin
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of a genuine, attuned relationship. Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about deepening understanding, expanding awareness, and creating space for something new to emerge.
My approach is grounded in depth psychology, relational therapy, and experiential work. Together, we explore not only the challenges that bring you in, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, and unconscious dynamics that shape your life. I work collaboratively, with curiosity and respect, to help you develop a stronger connection to yourself and to others.
I also integrate Animal-Assisted Therapy when appropriate, partnering with my therapy dog, Sophie. Her presence can help create a calming, supportive environment and often allows for connection and insight in ways that feel more natural and less pressured.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and the desire for deeper self-understanding. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply sensing that something in your life wants to shift, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step. My role is to meet you where you are, offering a steady, compassionate presence as we make sense of your experience together.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I'm a Humanistic psychotherapist seeing individuals both in-person in Mill Valley, CA, and online for people anywhere in California. My approach encourages people to meet each moment with their full capacity. In session, work includes bolstering emotional regulation, practicing awareness of mind and body, and getting curious with what may be possible. I love to work with people who are creative, motivated, and independent.

Oxnard is Ventura County's largest city and a predominantly Hispanic agricultural and industrial center — the county is one of California's most productive strawberry, lemon, and vegetable growing regions — with a therapy community deeply shaped by the experiences of farmworker families navigating immigration stress, seasonal income volatility, and limited English-language access to mainstream mental health services. The city's proximity to Naval Base Ventura County creates additional demand for military-oriented therapists alongside the largely Latino civilian therapy market. St. John's Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources for the area, while the therapy community overall remains relatively sparse relative to the city's population. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists perform essential access work in a city where language barriers significantly limit engagement with standard English-language mental health care.
