Roberta Ballard, Ph.D. - psychologist

My clients describe me as:

Interactive, supportive, engaging. Therapy with me is deeply personal and highly actionable. We collaborate and set goals to work towards.

Something to know about my approach is:

I combine several approaches that help you understand patterns and themes that might be holding you back, and learn new skills to feel better. I'm not a "sit and nod" therapist; I share my perceptions and ideas with you, and sessions are active.

Together, we will:

develop a personalized plan to help get you unstuck and on track to living the life you want. Therapy with me is based in science, but not impersonal or formulaic. We usually work to improve both current challenges and long-standing issues.

I specialize in working with people who:

are creative professionals and artists, teens and adults, who feel overwhelmed, anxious & depressed. OCD & Phobias are particular areas of expertise. I help clients live with more confidence and clarity so they can live in alignment with their values

I became a therapist because:

It fills my cup to be of service to others. I became a therapist to help people suffer less and get more out of their lives.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My practice is entirely online, which means you can engage in therapy from the comfort of your home, studio, or office.

More about me and my practice:

Clients have appreciated knowing that I understand their experiences. So, I have become more transparent about the fact that I have dealt with depression & anxiety. However, I want to make it clear that as a therapist, I keep the focus on YOU.
