• Meet Our Therapists!

    Colleen Roberts LMSW

    Welcome! I am Colleen Roberts. For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting couples and families as they navigate the highs, lows, and turning points that relationships naturally bring. My work across schools, community programs, residential settings, and outpatient clinics has strengthened my belief in one simple truth: healing and reconnection happen through genuine, compassionate connection.

    I offer a warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental space where both partners can feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you’re struggling with communication, facing a breach of trust, feeling more like roommates than partners, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, I help couples slow down, tune in, and truly understand each other again.

    Together, we’ll work to rebuild emotional and physical intimacy, improve communication and reduce conflict, heal from past hurts or disconnection, restore trust and closeness, and strengthen your partnership so it feels safer, healthier, and more supportive.

    My approach honors each partner’s experience while guiding you toward a deeper, more secure connection. I meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward a relationship that feels collaborative, resilient, and fulfilling.

    If you’re ready to reconnect, rebuild, and rediscover each other, I’m here to help you find your way back—together.

    Joni Beth Henry MSW, LSW

    I’m Joni Beth Henry, MSW, LSW, One of my greatest joys as a therapist is working with couples. I’m especially passionate about helping partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen their emotional and physical intimacy. Whether you’re facing conflict, disconnection, or struggling to navigate the demands of marriage and parenting, I bring both clinical insight and lived experience to help you find your way back to each other.

    I bring over 25 years of dedicated experience in social work, with a career spanning Community Mental Health, Schools, Private Practices, State agencies, and the Justice System. I’m certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), having trained at Torrance State Hospital, and I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I take an integrative approach to therapy, using modalities such as EFT, CBT, and ACT, and I strongly believe there is no “one size fits all” in mental health care.

    I find deep fulfillment in the therapeutic process and genuinely enjoy my work—especially those moments when a client has made such meaningful progress that they no longer need to meet with me. In addition to my education and professional experience, I bring a personal understanding of the challenges that come with marriage, parenting, and navigating life’s transitions.

    I’m especially effective in working with clients experiencing Body Dysmorphic Disorder, particularly following weight loss, sudden or unplanned weight gain, and those living with diabetes or low self-esteem. My goal is always to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered to grow.

    I look forward to working with you.

I know how painful it can feel when communication breaks down, arguments repeat, or distance starts to grow in a relationship. Through couples counseling, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard and understood.

    Whether you’re working to heal after betrayal, struggling with constant conflict, or simply feeling disconnected, I use evidence-based approaches to guide you toward healthier communication and deeper intimacy.
