Music Therapy in Champaign, IL

Are you feeling stressed? Are you tired of feeling anxious, sad, and overwhelmed with life? Have you lost your focus? Do you feel as if things will never get better? Whatever you are struggling with, I am here to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and genuine environment to help you begin your journey to feeling better. I look forward to helping you define your strengths, so we can use those as a roadmap to overcome your struggles. My therapy approach is relational, strengths- based, and collaborative. I believe therapy is a safe place to grow, learn, and achieve shared goals using a diverse mix of modalities to meet your unique needs.

I believe in a person centered and narrative approach, as you are the expert of your own life. You have your own story to tell. Talking to a stranger about issues you’re facing can be extremely difficult and challenging but it shows enormous amounts of strength and bravery. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself, discuss challenges that you are facing, explore new ideas and new chapters, and to help promote growth and wellness. I want my clients to feel heard and understood.

It is no secret that mental distress can be a devastating roadblock in life. It is my hope that together, we can create a completely safe and understanding environment in which we can work together toward achieving balance, implementing healthy coping strategies, and navigating life’s many obstacles toward growth. Therapy can be quite a daunting step to take for many, but I have no doubt in my mind that together, we can lay the foundation for personal growth.

I specialize in children and adolescents with mental wellness goals and community-centered music wellness programming, though I am open to working with adults and families, as well. I would be a great fit for anyone looking to address mental health and wellness goals through musical exploration, including issues ranging from mental illness like anxiety, depression, or trauma-healing, to promoting overall mental wellness by getting back in touch with your musical self.

Life can be hard, unfair, and hurtful at times. But at the end of any storm, there is always a rainbow. As a therapist, my job is to sit with you in the storm. One of the essential pieces to making a change is the relationship between counselor and client. In my practice, I work hard to create a safe and trusting environment where all clients feel comfortable in sharing a piece of their life experiences with me. I have experience working with various mental health disorders and life concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, ADD, oppositional defiant disorder, relationship conflict, LGBTQIA+, minority stress and many more.

In therapy you have the freedom to be curious about your journey and encouraged to be bold about countering any narrative that no longer serves the highest you. I’m David D. Robertson, courage researcher, your future therapist and Social Work Technologist for the Center of Prolonged Grief at Columbia University’s School of Social Work. I partner with students and families, entrepreneurs, executives, people who have experienced childhood trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, faith based communities, the queer community and other marginalized identities.
