Meet Dr. Robert Jaffe, PhD, LMFT

A grounded, integrative therapist guiding high-achieving individuals and couples into lasting peace—through insight, nervous system healing, and deep connection.

Hi, I’m Dr. Robert Jaffe—and I help people heal from the inside out.

For over 40 years, I’ve supported individuals, couples, and professionals who’ve reached a point where “holding it all together” just isn’t working anymore.

Maybe that’s you.

You’re strong, capable, and successful—but something underneath feels stuck. Whether it’s stress, burnout, relationship pain, or a quiet reliance on alcohol or substances to unwind… your system is asking for something different.

My role isn’t to fix you. It’s to help you gently shift the emotional patterns that no longer serve you—so you can reconnect with who you’ve always been…your loving, authentic true-self.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

 Clients often describe our work as a blend of grounded therapy, useful tools, and emotional exhale.

In our sessions, you can expect:

  • A calm, safe space—free from judgment or clinical coldness

  • Deep listening paired with honest, compassionate feedback and suggestions if requested

  • Tools that help you move forward—not just “talk about it”

  • Hypnotherapy, journaling, and mind-body techniques tailored to you as an individual

  • The occasional (and surprisingly helpful) sense of humor

Whether you're here to heal trauma, reduce alcohol or substance use, reconnect in your relationship… or simply find permanent ways to reduce your level of stress—you’re in the right place.

My Training & Tools

I combine traditional psychotherapy with integrative, mind-body, and subconscious healing approaches. I draw from:

  • Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Hypnosis

  • Teaching Meditation and Self-Hypnosis

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Rational-Emotive Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy

  • Gestalt Therapy

  • Mindfulness and Somatic Awareness

  • Guided Journaling and Subconscious Repatterning

Think of me as a guide in your personal workshop—together, we shape healing with the tools that speak to your story. I draw from many approaches—each one tailored to your unique mind and nervous system.

Who I Help

 I specialize in working with:

  • High-functioning adults navigating chronic stress or anxiety

  • Professionals who rely on alcohol, substances, or productivity to cope

  • Individuals healing from trauma—both ‘large T’ and ‘small t’

  • Couples struggling with emotional distance and/or communication issues

  • Adolescents needing guidance

  • Anyone ready to step out of survival mode and into real peace

In-person therapy available in Los Angeles; virtual therapy throughout California. Wellness coaching available worldwide.

If you're feeling that quiet “yes”—the one that says you're ready for something new—I'd be honored to support you.
