Thousand Oaks, California therapist: Kristin Robert, marriage and family therapist
Narrative Therapy

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.

Sherman Oaks, California therapist: Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW, licensed clinical social worker
Narrative Therapy

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.

Santa Monica, California therapist: Timothy Walker, marriage and family therapist
Narrative Therapy

Timothy Walker

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist? Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)? Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)? Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)? Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)? Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?
