With over 30 years of experience as an independent
licensed
clinical social worker, and as a graduate of Simmons College School of Social Work specializing in psychodynamic and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Robin is currently a private practitioner working adults and adolescents.
Among her areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, OCD and addictions.
In addition, she has completed post-graduate training at the Mind Body Medical Institute in Boston with the goal of helping her clients achieve a sense of well-being using an integrative approach, which recognizes the importance of treating the whole person - mind, body and spirit. She is also a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and shares resources that have proven to be effective.
The practice of Lifestyle medicine includes the use of evidence-based lifestyle approaches, which focus on four pillars of health:
Stress management
Connection
Nourishment
Movement
When these pillars are in balance, we thrive. However, if any one of the above is off kilter, life can become a struggle. While we all face challenges and go through struggles in life, having the tools necessary to address those problems is the key to achieving lasting emotional and physical health.
Robin is an interactive, solution-focused therapist using CBT and exposure techniques.
Her therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. She integrates complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, she works with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. One of her goals is to offer comprehensive preventative and rehabilitative services utilizing an extensive referral network.
