Maybe you've been anxious for so long it feels like there’s no way out of it.
I'm Robin Kirman, a licensed psychoanalyst with a practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I work with adults, couples, and families — including teens — who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and the quieter struggles that don't always have a name. My approach goes deeper than symptom management, to the root issues at play.

I believe that treatment for OCD begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood—not defined by intrusive thoughts, fears, or compulsions.
Whether you're struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, anxiety, relationship challenges, or seeking greater self-understanding, we'll work together to build insight and create meaningful change. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, honoring your pace, goals, and unique experiences while supporting you throughout the process.

I work with adults with a variety of issues including, depression, anxiety, marital and other relationship problems, bereavement, addictions, obssessive thoughts or behaviors, occupational difficulties, eating disorders, parenting issues, and caring for the elderly.
Do you find yourself overwhelmed and stressed? Have work or personal relationships become unmanageable. Sometimes life calls for outside assitance, and psychotherapy can be very effective at alleviating distress. In my practice, I use an interactive and collaborative approach where an individual can explore, learn, and heal in an atmoshpere of trust and safety. I combine psychodynamic therapy that searches for the root causes of problems with coginitive-behavioral techniques when needed that offer more immediate structured coping skills.

When life feels overwhelming, when sadness leads to despair, reaching out for help is a sign of strength and a step in the right direction. Unravelling complex problems alone, without the guidance of a therapist, can delay relief and positive change. With my warm and gentle approach, we will explore thought patterns, emotions and past experiences to gain insight into the present.
During a period of crisis, there is an opportunity for self-discovery, meaning and positive connections. When experiencing loss or grief, my nurturing approach helps to find grounding, restoration and healing.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

At the heart of my work is the belief that growth happens in relationship. Many people come to therapy carrying the quiet experience of feeling misunderstood, unseen, or alone in their struggles. My practice centers on building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship — one that offers the safety necessary to explore your past, present, and future with honesty and depth, and without judgment. When you feel genuinely known and understood, something restorative can begin to unfold. The relationship we build becomes part of the healing itself, creating space for new insight, emotional clarity, and more fulfilling ways of relating.

I have had meaningful success working with individuals dealing with depression and anxiety and other existential difficulties, and with couples, married or otherwise, particularly with communication (or lack thereof) and post-infidelity.
Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

I work with clients who are interested in finding a new way to live. Often the past limits our sense of what possibilities are open to us. We need an empathic outsider to help sort out what is deeply true for us in order to continue on in a fresh, grounded way. Ironically we often need to go backwards to move forward. As a psychoanalytically trained therapist, I believe that the brain is inherently conservative and needs new experiences in order to remember, retreat and "reroute". I believe each patient needs to discover their own unique story and to find a way to tell it. Creativity often plays a vital role in this journey.

We fear being vulnerable.
This therapy process is not always easy, often times if feels worse before it feels better. But I will walk with you through the difficult journey. You will learn to take off mask and find inner strengths that may bring a sense of freedom, liberation, connection to self and others. “Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength” Sigmund Freud.
