Getting to know Bob Gelshtein

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I help clients manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm by reconnecting with their bodies and building nervous system resilience. My work blends evidence-based care with compassion and clarity. My approach I use a somatic and relational approach that integrates body awareness, mindfulness, and attachment-based therapy. We’ll explore stress, emotions, and life patterns at their root so you can feel more balanced, clear, and connected in daily life. My focus I work with adults, teens, and couples navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, or relationship challenges. My clients often seek deeper balance, emotional regulation, and healthier communication in both their personal and professional lives. My communication style Clients describe me as calm, grounded, and direct, yet sometimes playful. I bring warmth, honesty, and gentle challenge to help you explore difficult emotions safely and move through stress with confidence and clarity. My journey to mental healthcare My background in somatic psychology and performance coaching showed me how deeply stress affects both body and mind. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural next step to help others heal, reconnect, and find calm and confidence within life’s chaos. My goals for you We set clear, realistic goals that reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Through awareness, body-based tools, and practical coping skills, I help clients build lasting change from the inside out. My first session with you Our first session is a chance to slow down, clarify what brings you in, and explore what’s been working or not. We’ll map your goals, discuss next steps, and begin grounding into a supportive, collaborative process.
