William Roberts, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm William!

Are you and your partner stuck in the same arguments, struggling to rebuild trust, or feeling disconnected? I help couples improve communication, repair relationships after conflict or substance use, and rebuild connection using practical, solution-focused strategies.

My focus

I primarily work with couples facing communication issues, trust concerns, recurring conflict, and substance use challenges. I support couples navigating sobriety, moderation, or harm reduction, and help partners rebuild stability and connection.

My approach

I specialize in couples therapy using a solution-focused, client-centered approach grounded in motivational interviewing. I help partners identify patterns, improve communication, and create practical strategies that lead to meaningful, lasting change.

My communication style

My style is warm, direct, and non-judgmental. I help couples have honest conversations without escalation, guiding you to communicate more effectively, understand each other, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to this work is shaped by personal recovery and extensive clinical experience. Being in a long-term relationship and marriage also informs my perspective, reinforcing the importance of communication, accountability, and consistent effort.

My goals for you

I help couples set clear, realistic goals that lead to real change. We focus on communication, trust, and breaking unhelpful patterns, then build practical steps you can use right away. I check in regularly to keep progress focused and measurable.

Our first session

The first session is an intake, so expect a lot of questions. I’ll gather information about your relationship, challenges, and goals. It’s more structured than ongoing sessions, but it helps us get clear and set a strong direction moving forward.
