Biography
Dr. Tobler is a clinical psychologist licensed in Florida,
California, Virginia and
Maryland. She received her doctorate in 1984 from the University of Maryland and
saw private clients in the Washington, D.C. area until 1995 at which time she
moved to Southwest Florida and established her practice in Ft. Myers.
She is well versed in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and
humanistic theory.
Additionally, she has been trained in gestalt and
imagery, a subset of the humanistic
model.
Dr. Tobler is an eclectic psychotherapist with a bio-psychosocial perspective. Each
client’s unique temperament and situational challenge is carefully assessed to
determine the combination of therapy skills that will most benefit the
individual person and
condition.
She wholeheartedly agrees with the numerous
research studies demonstrating that the
mainstream methods of treatment are about equal in effectiveness; and that the
true keys to successful therapy are: client motivation,
therapist competence, and the quality of the client-therapist
relationship.
Dr. Tobler is informal yet
professional. She is interactive and remarkably candid. Her sense of humor is
appreciated. In addition to treating individuals, she has been working with
couples and groups for as long as she has been in practice.
She authored a
self help book titled:
Princes & Toads: Men Worth Keeping ... Men to Throw Away
