Growth
Is In Your Hands
Welcome.
My name is Janette Robinson, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a focus on Couples Therapy, LGBTQIA+-affirming care, and Trail Talk Therapy.
I offer a supportive, inclusive space where you can work through challenges, deepen connections, and move toward the life you want. Whether you're coming in on your own or with a partner, I’ll meet you with care, curiosity, and a commitment to your growth.
Services Offered
Couples Therapy
As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I help couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and grow stronger together. Whether you're having the same fights in the same way over and over, trying to find your way back to each other sexually, or recovering from betrayal, I offer life changing guidance rooted in research and compassion. You can read more about how I think about this work on my couples blog.
I meet: In-office (San Francisco and Placerville) and Online.
In addition, I help clients considering divorce to fully explore your options with care and respect, called discernment counseling.
Individual Therapy
With a balance of kindness and challenge, I help you discover your strengths, address your unhealthy patterns, and find your path forward.
I meet with clients:
In-office (San Francisco and Placerville)
Online (Teletherapy)
Outdoors (Trail Talk Therapy)
Trail Talk combines movement, nature, and therapy to support deeper insight and emotional well-being.
Couples Weekend Intensives
Sometimes an hour a week isn't enough. A weekend intensive is focused couples work done over two or three days: the time and space to get to the heart of things without the clock running out at ninety minutes.
I meet: In-office (San Francisco and Placerville).
It can be a good fit if life is too full for weekly sessions, if you don't want to wait months to feel better, or if you simply want to go deeper, faster. If you'd like a fuller sense of my approach first, my couples blog is a good place to start.

About Me
Hi, I’m Janette Robinson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I truly love the work I do. I’m inspired every time a couple, feeling hopeless or disconnected, finds their way back to one another by replacing spiraling arguments with clarity, honesty, and loving communication. (I write about that work on my couples blog, if you'd like to read more.)
I’m equally moved when an individual begins to see light through the fog of a difficult season and reconnects with their own strength and direction. This is why I do this work. It’s meaningful. It matters.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren, my dogs, and my partner. We've shared a relationship that has been growing strong for more than 30 years.
