About Us

Our Story
Decades ago, we (Mavis Tsai and Robert Kohlenberg) as therapists noticed that when we approached our clients with our own humanity and vulnerability, when we held their pain and reflected their best selves rather than tried to “fix” them, they were much more likely to make dramatic improvements.
