Our Therapists

Flaviana Robinson, MHA, MA

   Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

   M.A. Clinical Psychology

   M.H.A. Health Care Administration

   Direct Line: 626-598-3559

Hi, I’m Flaviana and I have a passion for helping people achieve emotional health and well-being. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where together we can explore the experiences and challenges that may be holding you back from feeling fulfilled, gaining insight and identifying a path toward recovery.

 

I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, attachment, infertility, parenthood, trauma, grief, bicultural and biracial family dynamics, and major personal or professional life changes.

 

As an immigrant to the United States, now in a biracial marriage and raising two wonderful children after our own struggle with infertility, I have decades of personal and professional experience in these areas that deepen my understanding, empathy, and commitment to working with individuals and couples facing similar challenges.

 

I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist more than 15 years ago after my experience in healthcare administration left me wanting to do more to help people. I look forward to partnering with you to navigate life’s challenges, reach your therapeutic goals, and live as your authentic self.
