Life can bring many challenges and difficulties for children, adolescents and young adults to navigate. Maybe they are experiencing emotional and/or behavioral challenges due to trauma, stress and pressures, family troubles, being misunderstood, or fear of unknowns. Maybe they are feeling like they just do not fit in anywhere and have a negative self image; or maybe they have difficulty using their voice to express themselves in an effective and healthy manner. Young people desire to be seen, heard, and understood. I empower young people to discover their resilience and improve their emotional wellbeing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed in your job or having problems in your relationship? Is there something keeping you from being motivated? Could it be depression? After all, depression is like the common cold. Everyone gets it sooner or later. Have you suffered a loss? The loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of mobility? It can help to talk about it.

It is not uncommon to find ourselves overwhelmed or struggling at some point in our lives. During those times, having an objective and unbiased person to talk to can provide clarity and support to ultimately foster growth and resilience in your personal narrative. I have a passion for helping women and couples through infertility struggles and determining their own definition of family. Additionally, I specialize in working with clients through difficult life transitions, relationship issues, intimacy and sexuality, polyamorous and ENM relationships, body positivity (including bariatrics), and overall stress relief.
Randi Robbins
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C
Verified
Through the use of EMDR, DBT, and other complementary techniques, I help people overcome a wide range of challenges. I have found that standard "talk therapy" may help people think about things differently or make better choices in their lives, but those people often don't feel any better than before. My clients report genuinely feeling better, that their lives are changed through no longer feeling the same pain that haunted them before. Diagnoses I have successfully treated include PTSD, anxiety disorders, OCD, eating disorders, and depression, to name a few.

Maybe your teenager is doing poorly in school, acting out, or even using drugs. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety or your spirituality. Maybe you need the healthy integration from your psychedelic work, to address your mental health and personal growth. Life can be overwhelming. Whatever the problem- relief is in your reach. I want to help you reclaim your life, your family, and a healthy future.
