Getting to know Robert Plavajka

Hi there, I'm Robert! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Psychology from California Baptist University. My areas of practice include individuals ranging from ages 5-65, couples, and families. My approach to therapy is typically person-centered while integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-based approaches as needed. My approach I take time to get to know each client and meet them at their current point in life. By building trust and learning about each client, we can work together using different techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused, and dialectical behavior therapy to treat the whole person. My focus I typically treat clients from ages 5-65. I have spent multiple years in an intensive outpatient setting as well as in private practice. I am most comfortable working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, significant life changes, and relational or family issues. My communication style I strive to create an environment of trust and safety with each client. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance increases the chances of long-term, sustained progress. When working together, I want my clients to walk away feeling heard, understood, and respected, no matter how difficult the session may be. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I want to make the world a better place, whether in a big or small way. What drives me is learning from my clients about how to be a better therapist and a better person in my own life. I believe clients are equally knowledgeable in supporting my profession as I am in supporting them. My goals for you I like to collaborate with clients on setting goals that are timely, reasonable, and achievable. Ultimately, it is up to the client to create goals, as they are the experts on their own lives.
