Welcome! I’m Robert Plavajka, a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, and adults—who are navigating the complexities of family trauma, anxiety, depression, and the search for purpose in life.
You and I, together, will develop a therapeutic relationship ideal for producing change and growth. Rooted in trust, honesty, and transparency, my goal is to create a safe space for you to think & feel out loud! Self-exploration here will garner solutions to your concerns. We'll ensure you gain a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
My passion is for helping others get unstuck and flourish! The focus of my practice is geared toward helping you develop affirming responses and positive interpretations of what has happened in your life. I will help you have agency and integrity in the midst of a life transition or challenge that has you feeling stuck or out of ways to help yourself.
I specialize in supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, systemic stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. With 11 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve worked across diverse communities, including Black, Native American, Veteran, and criminal justice-involved populations. Clients often describe me as grounded, direct, and compassionate, and I bring deep respect for each person’s lived experience into the work we do together.
