Carla Rob Robinson
Pre-Licensed Professional
Durham, NC 27707
I help guide adults, adolescents, and couples facing challenges related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and adjusting to difficult life events.
Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve to be understood and acknowledged as a human being with a deep and interconnected self. I bring curiosity and a steady presence to every session, offering a supportive and grounded space for you to explore what matters most. I support military service members and veterans, first responders, neurodiverse clients, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I use a multicultural framework and integrative approach that allows me to be responsive to your individual needs, and I benefit from lived experience to ease your burden of cultural understanding.

The people who tend to work with me are thoughtful and curious, often navigating grief, life transitions, identity shifts, or relationship strain. They may appear steady on the outside while feeling stretched thin inside. Many want space to slow down and understand themselves more fully, creating change that feels integrated and lasting. For couples, my goal is to help each person gently uncover the patterns that create tension. Sessions focus on strengthening communication, and better understanding both your partner’s inner world and the larger ecosystem of your relationship.

If what happens next leaves us feeling stymied and lethargic, backed into a corner with no where to go but down, it is possible thinking and talking about our experience in new ways is ultimately what is needed.  Psychoanalysis and its therapeutic cousin, psychotherapy (talk therapy), provides a crucible for persons to discover & express our truest & sometimes hidden, motivations in
