Mr Roby Shamas

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Psychotherapy for individual adults in South Bay (San Jose, CA). Specializing in working with anxiety, personal and relational growth.

About Me

I offer psychotherapy to individual adults in the South Bay, helping you navigate anxiety and cultivate personal growth. When worries feel overwhelming, we can gently explore their roots. My approach supports you in recognising patterns that impact your relationships. This fosters genuine growth, helping you build resilience and connect more deeply with yourself and others.

Approach

As you settle into therapy, expect a steady, collaborative pace that gently tracks patterns that show up in worries and relationships and tests small shifts between sessions. In my San Jose office or via secure telehealth, we use simple mindfulness, targeted reflection, and practical experiments to surface triggers, strengthen choices, and practise new responses. Sessions feel focused and conversational, with clear steps you can try at home and space to notice what changes. This way of working tends to suit adults ready to explore anxious habits and deepen their relationships.
