Robin Furner, MFT

Welcome! I hope my website can be a helpful resource for you.
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT) practicing in Oakland, California. I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field and I have been a licensed MFT in California since 2007. I currently focus on providing individual therapy for adults. More detailed information about my experience can be found on the "About Me" page of my website.
When starting a psychotherapy process, I usually begin by spending some time talking via phone to understand why you would like to begin therapy and set up an appointment. I request that new clients review and complete several forms that are available on the "Forms" page of my website. I generally will spend the initial session getting to know you, clarifying your goals for therapy and reviewing new client forms with you. I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective, so subsequent sessions will be less structured.
Psychotherapy research consistently shows that a good relationship between a client and their therapist can often be more important than other factors, such as therapy modality. If you are looking for a therapist, I encourage you to read through my website to see if my skills, perspectives and clinical experience seem like a good match for you. I encourage all potential clients to spend some time reviewing the websites of several therapists and/or consult with several therapists. Therapists vary in how they conceptualize and approach client concerns. In my experience, clients are generally more satisfied with their therapy progress when there is a good fit between therapist and client.
My office is centrally located in Oakland, at the corner of Broadway and 40th Street Way. My office is close to the Temescal, Lake Merritt and Rockridge neighborhoods; Piedmont and Kaiser hospital.

As of 08/24/20, I do not have any open hours available for new clients. The Therapy FAQs page of my website lists several websites that are good resources for finding therapists in the east bay area.
