Peter Robbins, PHD

Dr. Robbins, is incredible!!!
We have been to him a few times and drive over 30 miles (one-​way) just to see him, because he is that good!
We have been to about 12 or so couple therapist and didn’t connect to any of them! They just didn’t seem to connect with our issues!
The first time that we saw him… it was incredible he GOT IT! And we learned so much about each other, our marriage, our blended family, our issues! We are happier and we connect more! We just needed that professional guide who gave us that outsiders perspective with caring advice that really works!

My husband and I started to see Dr. Robbins a couple of months ago for marriage counseling and it was the best decision we have made. We wanted to learn to communicate with one another more effectively as well as to learn how to deal with the challenges that young couples face with a new marriage.
Much to our surprise in only two months our relationship has become stronger than ever before. Dr. Robbins taught us how to communicate with each other and how to set clear rules in a relationship to ensure its success. In my opinion, creating a successful relationship is something that everyone needs to learn. Dr. Robbins’s main goal is to teach you all the ways in which you can create a strong, long-​lasting marriage. He doesn’t simply sit there and listen to his clients talk/​complain, rather he teaches his clients a new way of thinking about things that will transform not only your marriage but your life.
Even if you don’t have any major issues, I would recommend to go see Dr. Robbins even for just a few months because you can always make things better. His approach with marriage, careers, and life in general really does work!
If you want to have a happier marriage no matter how good or bad things are now, it is well worth your time and money to try Dr. Robbins.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Robbins for a few months to work on our relationship. The one thing I really appreciate from our sessions is that he doesn’t take sides. He is able to pinpoint the issue (even if you disagree or get defensive initially) and gives recommendations on how to improve moving forward. My wife and I have grown from our visits and are working hard to implement the recommendations from every session. Highly recommended.

My family and I have been seeing Dr Robbins for a few months now. I love that he is on the side of the relationship and not his or hers side. The fact that he had a very similar upbringing as my own son made him relatable to him. He is a genuine Christian counselor and I have already referred friends and clients to him.

My fiancé and I went to Dr. Robbins for pre-​marital counseling and he was incredibly helpful. He took the time to assess our situation and gave us honest direction. I would recommend him to family and friends.

A friend referred Dr. Robbins to me during a very difficult time in our lives. Thank goodness for the referral because I would have never known where to begin; I had never sought marriage counseling and wasn’t sure it would really help. Dr. Robbins was such a delight and my husband and I were so impressed by his knowledge and unbiased opinions. We were pleasantly surprised to see how easy and helpful counseling was and we truly loved our time with him. I can honestly say he helped us immensely. I would have no reservations in referring Dr. Robbins to anyone who is looking for an excellent therapist. Thank you Dr. Robbins!

Excellent counselor. Dr Peter is amazing at marriage crisis to regular maintenance to assisting with parenting issues and our children. All around great therapy and we always left feeling better with a good plan together and a better understanding of each other’s feelings.

Finally have a chance to sit down and start typing. My wife and I were married for 13 or so years. As her church life got busy and I started to seek things to do while occupying my time. We basically grew apart. We were physically living together but our mind and hearts were far from together. We had many disagreements and fights. Finally she started to reach out for external help. We did her homework and found Dr. Peter Robbins. Like all males, I initially disagree to seek counseling. However, I love her and I did it for her. I knew that was important to her. So we went.
During the first impression, Dr. Robbins was friendly and unbiased with an open heart and ears. He was not on either side of the fight but on the side of marriage. His goal was to understand and save the marriage. Initially, my thinking was. Oh no, he will be on my wife’s side and team up and point out of my weaknesses and faults. However, to my surprise. He agreed on more of my position than expected. That made me felt good about my marriage and myself. Sometimes, my wife can be difficult and her opinion is one sided. Hearing from the expert, I really felt great about myself.
We seek about 7 – 8 sessions. The price of the sessions were not cheap by any mean but it was well worth it. We were seeking the best counselor for our marriage not the cheapest counselor for our marriage. You should never put a price on marriage. Marriage is priceless. The price we paid to Dr. Robbins was so small compare to my family and my marriage. I can truly say that Dr. Robbins saved our marriage. It also open up my wife’s view on marriage and our role as a husband and wife.
During the beginning and end of each session we prayed and asked God for guidance and how to glorified HIM via our marriage. Each session is about 55 minutes long and Dr. Robbins made me felt comfortable expressing my anger, my disappointment and so on. He made me felt free and comfortable to talk about taboo marriage topics.
I want to thank Dr. Robbins for his help and I have no reservation of recommending my friends to him and his staff. Great group of people and definitely will seek further sessions with him in the future.
Sincerely,
Dr. David

My husband and I lately went through a lot of stress and had trouble to keep our relationship unharmed. Grad school, two kids and extended family made it hard to focus on us and that led us to the edge of divorce.
While fighting about what’s best for our kids after the divorce Dr Robbins reminded us on what truly is the most important thing for our children: that daddy loves mommy and mommy loves daddy. He made us put work into our marriage and we couldn’t be more thankful. We’ve been to about 6 sessions and our marriage has become better and better ever since we were willing to work on it with the help of Dr Robbins. Of course we still fight but we are learning how to fight properly and with some rules and more understanding for each other we recover from fights faster and faster.

Dr. Robbins taught me the simple tools to communicate with my teenage boys. Awesome!

Dr Peter is amazing! He breaks things down simply & takes you down a step by step path to accomplish your goal in being there.
I interviewed a few therapist /​counselors before choosing Peter. He was by far the best.
I have been married for 20 years & because of Dr Peter, I’m looking forward to many more years.

I am currently a student at UC Irvine and have had the immense pleasure of interning at Turning Point Counseling this summer. It has been a great experience being able to see Dr. Peter Robbins at work because he is so amazing at what he does. Day to day he is able to support people in so many ways from marriage and family counseling to financial assistance. I highly recommend Dr. Robbins to anyone searching for a compassionate therapist.
