About
Ms. Smith Stutzman’s practice
Licensed
as a Marriage & Family Therapist since 1990,
Robin has developed an eclectic and integrative
practice, melding together many philosophies and
schools of thought. In the treatment room, she can
be found applying family systems theory and cognitive
behavioral therapy with the same patient or family.
She
looks for a balance between insight (talking about
and understanding) and actual behavior change (going
out and “doing it differently”). She gives
homework assignments regularly, teaches various meditation
techniques, and makes suggestions for reading outside
of therapy.
Having
a strong scientific background, Robin uses therapeutic
methodologies that research has proven to be effective.
Under the umbrella of Mindfulness-based psychotherapy,
the primary influences in her treatment style are
Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, Strategic Family,
and Insight-oriented therapy.
