Dr. Roby practices dialogic counseling. He engages his clients in conversations about change. He believes mental illness is rare: most people who are struggling are stuck, not sick. His role is to help clients identify what they want their life to be and then to engage in actions, small and large, to move them toward their goals. The change process involves confronting self-sabotaging behaviors and thinking. His work is informed by his experience teaching linguistics and psychology at universities. He has worked in several countries and has a particular interest in how culture impacts identity and well-being.

Dr. Warren B. Roby is a Licensed Professional Counselor. He has worked in two agencies, two psychiatric hospitals, four private practices and has done telehealth through two services. He counsels in English, French, and Spanish.
