Counseling Approach
Robin enjoys working with clients from pre-school age to young adulthood. Robin believes in meeting a child where they are, prioritizing unconditional positive regard, acceptance, cultural humility, and authenticity while helping them build the skills needed to be successful in life. She believes growth occurs when a person feels valued, heard, and respected. When it comes to treatment, she believes in ensuring that each treatment style is based on the individual client needs. Robin uses multiple techniques, such as mindfulness, self-reflection cues, bibliotherapy, and journaling as ways to increase self-awareness of thoughts and emotions. Robin integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) in her sessions and her goal is to have the client see progress in a timely manner.
