Roberta Cullen
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I love working with working with undergraduate students and have decades of experience in this area. Safety and respect for all are safeguarded.
I work with individuals 16 and up, with stress, anxiety, procrastination, depression, and more. I also work with issues involving big "T" and little "t" trauma, as well as historical, cultural and ancestral trauma. My approach is gently somatic (working with mind-body wisdom) with optional use of art, movement, sand tray, mindfulness, and other support tools as needed. I am certified in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). These are very effective evidence-based therapeutic methods with 30 plus years of success behind them. I also draw on Narrative, Emotion Focused, TFT (Thought Field Therapy), Mindful Self Compassion and other healing modalities. I view therapy as a collaborative process. Clients bring important experiences and knowledge with them to support an enriching process of change. In addition to being a therapist, I have a PhD in performing arts and over 20 years as a college and university teacher, director, and department chair. I have mentored and counseled many college students, undergraduate and graduate, and have a thorough grasp of the collegiate environment, its demands, and the challenges faced by college students.
