About Robyn Pichler

Hello! My name is Robyn Pichler and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and certified Soul Focused Healing practitioner. Since beginning my work as a school psychologist more than 40 years ago, I've had a passion for working with people who have experienced trauma. My clients include veterans, adults with a history of abuse and assault, children suffering from abuse, and survivors of natural disasters.

Throughout my career, I've searched for the most effective ways to help my clients heal and live fulfilling and connected lives. Prior to becoming a SFH practitioner, I trained for more than a decade in Mindfulness Based Therapy, with supervision from a Mindfulness therapist. I am also certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and trained in a somatic experiencing processing technique called Natural Processing. Additionally, I completed the Energy Psychology training and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) through the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP).

This journey is what led me in 2014 to discover Soul Focused Healing (SFH). Since then, I have witnessed its profound healing abilities in my clients, many whom had been stuck for decades in unhealthy patterns. My focus now is providing an integrative approach using a combination of psychotherapy and Soul Focused Healing; it is the most effective for accessing a person's natural ability to heal. Although my training as a psychologist continues to inform my therapeutic approach, Soul Focused Healing has added a vital dimension to my work with clients. In working with a wide range of client difficulties, Soul Focused Healing has proven itself time and again as the simplest and most effective method for achieving the maximum results in the shortest amount of time.

I am a native of Georgia and received my Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology) in Clinical Psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology in Atlanta, Georgia. Subsequently, and for almost 20 years, I conducted a private practice in Gainesville, GA before moving to the Asheville area in 2017. I am now licensed to practice Clinical Psychology in the state of North Carolina and delighted to be growing my private practice as a Soul Focused Healing practitioner.

Soul Focused Healing is a non-touch style of energy healing that works with the Chakra system and anatomical physical body, emotional body, mental body, and Soul body. It uses the wisdom from current neuroscience, trauma research and Eastern philosophy to approach healing from a holistic perspective. The Soul Focused Healing system works with the energy field of each person to balance and open their field, so energy flows freely as intended. When the energy body is clear and balanced it allows the innate intelligence and the divine wisdom of the Soul to express itself freely through the personality and the physical body. We also gain more confidence in ourselves, have more clarity about what is best for us in any moment or situation and develop the courage to move in the direction of our heart's inner wisdom

Soul Focused Healing can help to:

• Discover solutions to current life problems and gain clarity about your path.
• Heal past traumas more easily and move to a place of greater freedom and ease.
• Make needed changes in your life and become more of who you were meant to be.
• Find a general sense of well-being, calmness, and peace.
• Restore hope and connect with your joy.
• Discover your Soul's purpose.

What to Expect

Your initial 90 minute session begins with a gathering of your history: I want to learn more about what brought you to Soul Focused Healing, your perspectives on your life to this point, and any additional issues that are a part of your life. My goal is for you to feel heard and understood; this is essential for establishing a client-therapist relationship that is safe, authentic, and collaborative.

Then, I normally do a Soul Focused Healing initial assessment. For this portion of the session, you lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table in a restful position with your eyes closed. Most of my clients opt to be covered with a comfy blanket, which I provide. Because of this relaxed position, it is possible to fall asleep during a session, which is perfectly fine. Soul Focused Healing works to integrate your physical body with your energetic subtle bodies, and this can be done while awake or sleeping.

Soul Focused Healing is a non-touch style of energy healing that works with the Chakra system and anatomical physical body, emotional body, mental body, and Soul body. Communication and collaboration are key elements in this approach; if I notice an energetic pattern that needs attention, I often share this with the client so we can address it together. While there is a systematic structure of moving through the Chakra system and energy field, I make decisions about how to work with each person based on their needs on any given day. The divine wisdom of the Soul, or higher Self, will express itself freely when the chakra system and the energy fields are balanced and open.

All subsequent sessions are also 90 minutes long. We have plenty of time to work together without feeling rushed and my clients report that these longer-than-traditional session times make a tremendous difference in their therapeutic experience. We begin each session with a check-in, discussing what has occurred in the time between our sessions, and conclude with a Soul Focused Healing session. After each session, we share feedback to conclude the session.

How Will I Feel After Soul Focused Healing Sessions?

Clients say they . . .

• feel peaceful and calm, physically and spiritually, and emotionally lighter and more hopeful.
• have greater clarity and are beginning to find resolutions for longstanding issues or internal conflicts.
• find themselves thinking in different ways and behaving or reacting differently than in the past.
• notice the release of pain or distress, and can speak up about something that they weren't previously able to speak about.
• change their habitual ways of doing things and make different and healthier choices for themselves.
• more easily make positive life changes and release fear and/or shame that has stopped them from doing what they really want to do.
