You may find yourself feeling "stuck" in your current experience, repeating patterns that no longer serve you, and are unsure of how to get out of the cycle.  You may be new to therapy, and unsure of what you would even talk about, but have a sense that you are impacted by past events in your life that you haven't fully addressed.  Or, you may be arriving here after years of therapy, frustrated with a lack of progress with previous treatment that, while perhaps helpful, did not seem to address some of your core issues.  Regardless of your history, or how long you've been struggling, meaningful change and growth is possible.

Robin Gattegno, LCSW, is a New York-based psychotherapist specializing in diverse therapeutic modalities for adolescents, adults, and couples. I apply an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach incorporating cognitive and insight-oriented psychotherapy. I tailor my sessions to meet each client's needs and assist people in discovering the reasons and motivations for their behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. With these insights, I assist clients make more informed choices.

Taking the first step towards getting help can be difficult. I want to make this as easy as possible for you, and am happy to speak with you by telephone before scheduling your first appointment. My specialty is working with individuals, couples, and families who are having relationship and communication difficulties. I also provide support for those with depression, anxiety, stress, and those struggling to maintain a work/life balance. The process is collaborative, and can combine both psychotherapy and coaching.

Therapy is one of the few spaces in our lives where we can feel free to express our hopes, fears and desires fully without fear of judgement. I will create a safe, empathetic space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, family history and relationship patterns. I can help resolve issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, substance abuse and career development. My 15 years of experience working in the mental health field and a background in Sociology have allowed me to see that many of our personal struggles are an understandable response to systemic issues.

I work with a diverse range of individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, ADHD, and substance use disorders. I incorporate evidence-based interventions into a psychodynamic approach to address individual client goals. Working with young people, adults and families, my aim is to provide a therapeutic experience that is creative, collaborative, and responsive to your unique needs and experiences. I believe that therapy is a tool to better understand ourselves, deepen our relationships, improve our ability to navigate our daily lives, and cope with major life transitions.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a variety of clinical theory, techniques, and empirical research ranging from psychoanalysis to cognitive behavioral therapy, tailoring the treatment to meet the unique needs of the individual. Ultimately, I believe, and research shows, that the effectiveness of therapy across approaches depends on the quality of the relationship. That is, it has to be “a good fit” and occur in the context of a safe, supportive, compassionate and confidential environment.
