Dr. Robin B. Dilley is an Arizona licensed psychologist in private practice. She received her doctoral degree from Union Institute in 1992 and has been practicing as a clinician in the field of psychotherapy since 1978. She has studied extensively the literature on Shame and believes that often it is the "trance of shame" that keeps the client powerless to make his/her life different.
Dr. Dilley uses an eclectic approach to psychotherapy. She believes that each session and each client have unique differences, and that the key to psychotherapy success is in the psychotherapy relationship. If the therapist can establish a trusting relationship with the client and then be intuitive enough to use all of her professional resources, then the client is enabled to achieve the personal growth he/she came in to find.
The healing relationship between therapist and client consists of appropriate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, preventative measures for the future, and most of all hope that life can be different from the replication of the past. "Psychotherapy for Personal Growth and Redirection" is the heart of Dr. Dilley's practice, so regardless of what the problem is, there is a solution. The solution is found in the journey, not in the destination.

You and Your Body are One
You and your body are one. You cannot survive without your body. However, most of American’s do not have a positive relationship with their body. It is hard to have a positive relationship with our bodies for many reasons; the media is certainly one of reason. However, because many of us do not take good care of our bodies in ways that benefit us, our bodies often hurt or feel too heavy or sluggish. In order for our bodies to feel good, we must learn to feel good about our bodies.

Guided Imagery as a Tool for Positive Affect
Guided Imagery, Guided Interactive Meditation, and Visualization are similar words and practices. The point of this type of exercise is to exercise your belief system to work for you and not against you. Even though there are many benefits of talk therapy alone, it is important that the therapeutic environment offer experiential tools to facilitate new experiences within you. The imagery that you use must come from you. It cannot come from me. It has to be believable imagery.
