Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
What makes my practice different is the genuine, human connection I bring into the therapy space, along with a direct and honest approach. I’m not here to “fix” you or simply tell you what you want to hear. I’m here to meet you where you are—with warmth, compassion, and without judgment, while also being willing to challenge you when it can help you grow.
My approach is deeply humanistic, which means I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of problems. I create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel truly seen and understood.
I keep therapy down-to-earth, authentic, and collaborative, while helping you build greater self-awareness and reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and resilience. I’ll listen deeply, ask the hard questions, and offer honest perspective when it’s needed. Because sometimes growth means having someone in your corner who can both support you and gently push you forward.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
At a personal level, I value substance over presentation, meaningful connection over polished appearances, and honesty delivered with care. I am curious about people, loyal in my relationships, and rarely interested in the easy or rehearsed answer. I appreciate intelligence, humor, directness, and the kind of conversation that makes time disappear.
My life has made me attentive to what people carry quietly and to the distance that can exist between how a life appears and how it actually feels. I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to question what we have inherited, live with greater intention, and build something honest from the experiences that have changed us.
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. I believe there is something quietly powerful about understanding yourself well enough to make choices rooted in truth rather than fear, expectation, or approval.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with life transitions. Whether you are entering into motherhood, relationship issues, a career change or any phase of life that is inviting you to step into a more evolved version of yourself, therapy can be a place to gain insight and create more adaptive life patterns. Clients often come to me when they’re tired of surface-level coping and want to understand what’s really going on behind the scenes of their own awareness.
