Living Better Counseling or LBC provides individual psychotherapy to adults. LBC is run by licensed clinical social worker, Carolina Robbins. Whether you are seeking therapy for personal growth, seeking clarity in a particular area of your life or to learn techniques to cope with difficult situation, Carolina is trained in treating an array of presenting issues. 

Women today face more challenges than ever. We share in roles as primary caregivers with higher demands in the work force. With that we are experiencing higher rates of maternal anxiety. At LBC, we treat the challenges that may arise for women during the perinatal process such as transitioning to roles as parent, parental anxiety, work life balance and postpartum depression. We also provide support and education to partners and families who may lack understanding of maternal health issues. 

Some seek psychotherapy to improve their over-all well-being and functioning. Not all who seek therapy have diagnosable mental health conditions. Well being interventions help explore current resources and functioning across multiple domains. 

According to the National Institute on Mental Health nearly 1 our of every 5 Americans suffers with a mental illness. Here at LBC we treat simple to complex  mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder through use of integrative treatment modalities. We also advocate with cross-disciplinary approaches to team treatment support. 

LBC is run by a fluently Spanish speaking provider. Given the unfortunate  climate of multiple Latin American countries, many families have sough political asylum in the US. Cultural assimilation can be a difficult process that impacts individual functioning, Carolina has treated multiple immigrant families during cultural assimilation process.
