Dr. Lisa Robtoy, PsyD
Dr. Lisa Robtoy is a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Washington and Massachusetts. She received her doctorate in clinical psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and completed her graduate training in Indiana and Illinois. She was trained in a variety of therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, which is a therapeutic method that focuses on helping individuals find their intrinsic motivation for behavior change. Most recently Dr. Robtoy trained in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT). MRT focuses on developing advanced levels of moral reasoning, reducing self-destructive behaviors and increasing frustration tolerance, cultivating a positive self-concept, creating a constructive personal identity, strengthening healthy habits and behaviors, evaluating your existing relationships, and examining your current behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs. Much like CBT, this approach is aimed at reducing unhelpful thinking traps and problematic behavior while allowing for a more value grounded approach to living life fully. Though MRT was originally designed for group settings, she integrates its core principles into individual therapy sessions. Dr. Robtoy recently completed training in cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD. Her approach emphasizes understanding the individual's experiences, discussing and addressing their challenges, and equipping them with practical skills to address the issues they present with.
Mutual respect and trust are core principles of Dr. Robtoy’s approach. She identifies her theoretical orientation as psychodynamic, as this prioritizes the dynamics between therapist and client over specific techniques or interventions. Simply put, she wants to meet her clients where they are, to help them reach their goals. Dr. Robtoy’s client care is rooted in curiosity, understanding how you came to be who you are today, and identifying your strengths in order to help you reach a more functional and positive sense of self. She believes that there is strength in identifying patterns in emotions, thoughts, and beliefs and bringing these patterns into consciousness can lead to growth and change. Dr. Robtoy strives to create a safe, honest space that is free from judgment, and she values the vulnerability involved in the difficult work that is therapeutic change.
Dr. Robtoy has extensive experience providing treatment interventions to individuals with complex psychological needs varying from anxiety, post-traumatic stress, personality disorders, self-destructive behavior, suicidal ideation, substance use, psychosis, and mood disorders. She has spent much of her career working with patients providing individual and group therapy, psychological testing, and conducting violence risk evaluations. Fair, compassionate, and effective treatment are central principles of her practice.
