I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing difficulty with attachment, codependency, confidence and direct communication. Together we will identify patterns, learn tools to reduce anxiety, overcome current limitations, practice expressing wants/needs, and setting boundaries with love. We explore the underlying dynamics at play in your relationships to restore clarity, possibility, fun, and satisfaction. Using creative conversation, mindset work, scripting, goal setting and role play, you will become the most confident version of yourself, equipped with new self-awareness and relational skills.

I am drawn to working with clients wanting to move toward greater clarity, self-knowledge, creativity, confidence, spontaneity, self-expression, and more authentic and fulfilling relationships. I work to create a safe environment to explore and move beyond limiting patterns and negative impacts of past trauma and loss. I bring multiple tools to assist clients who want to change outworn and unsatisfying patterns, and to create movement in places that feel "stuck". My approach is relational and unique to each client. I enjoy working with elders, adults, teens and pre-teens, and with the developmental tasks at each life stage.

As a second-generation Chinese/Korean immigrant, I intimately understand the experience of being “othered.” It’s from this deeply personal place that I developed a passion to support individuals and couples with marginalized and intersecting identities. I am committed to supporting clients with processing and healing from challenging experiences, strengthening a sense of identity, and cultivating self-compassion.

Hello. Choosing a therapist from a directory listing isn't easy! A few things I can tell you about myself that might help: I've worked for over a decade helping lots of people with problems of anxiety, depression, relationships, and coaching through work-related challenges. I focus on developing people's self-understanding so that you can have more agency in life, and facilitating relational skills so that people can feel more connected to their partners. Life is full of curveballs and we all of us get stuck sometimes. Therapy is a way to get clear about what you need and how to get there.

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where it feels safe to lay all your cards out on the table without fear of being judged. Our lives can sometimes be brutal, or exceedingly beautiful, and everything in between. I'm here for all of it. I find that I work particularly well with people who are experiencing major life transitions and are struggling to feel safe, grounded, and empowered enough to move through.

My focus includes gender and gender transition, sexuality, racial identity, trauma, and personal growth. I welcome people of all identities. I have trained in supporting people through gender affirming surgeries including letter of support. We will create a safer container for you to explore what hurts and what helps. I find it useful to consider how social, racial, gender, and economic injustice intersects with your experience. This work can be hard and sometimes we uncover painful spots. I incorporate mindfulness and grounding work to promote a safer experience.

Please contact me for current availability. More info at robinbagai.com. My approach is to help build greater capacity for living life in these strange times. I offer respectful engagement with your circumstances and inner reality. I don't rush toward quick solutions, instead allowing your own pace unfold. I'm one who would gravitate toward your pain, rather than deflect or minimize it. Therapy is partly about engaging emotional suffering with the possibility of transforming it. It is also about growth of life and self. I aim for an appreciative understanding of each unique human being through collaborative goodwill efforts.

I have a passion for working with families and youth, and I have my clinical experience working with youth anywhere from 4-18 years old!

As we move through life, we all develop a unique collection of wounds based on our experiences on the individual, relational, systemic, cultural, and historical levels. These wounds can shake our sense of safety and fuel disconnection from ourselves, others, and the world around us. They can dampen our capacity for presence and joy, and erode our sense of meaning and hope. Even in the face of great suffering, I believe every person possesses the inner wisdom, strength, and resilience to heal, grow, and find fulfillment in their lives and relationships.

You deserve to feel at home in your body, in your relationships, and in your own unfolding life. Yet for many of us, survival has required armoring, disconnection, and the silencing of our softest parts. Whether you are navigating the aftershocks of trauma, struggling with intimacy, exploring the meaning of masculinity, or simply longing to reconnect with your full aliveness, healing is possible. Not through “fixing” yourself, but through reclaiming what was never truly broken. Together, we will create a space where the wisdom of your body, the complexity of your story, and the power of your relationships are each re-membered.

As a certified mental performance consultant with an MA in Sport Psychology, I work with athletes and performers who want to conquer their performance anxiety, strengthen their confidence, and renegotiate their relationship with making mistakes. Often, my clients feel like they: get stuck in their own heads; have trouble letting go of mistakes; struggle with perfectionism; are self-critical and getting in their own way; have to perform under pressure; are not communicating well with a coach or teammate; have lost confidence in skills that used to be second nature; and/or are struggling with the demands of being a student-athlete.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, self-doubt, or never-ending worry? You’re not alone—and there’s a reason why healing feels so hard. As a South Asian therapist, immigrant, and person of color, I deeply understand the burden of intergenerational trauma, rigid gender roles, and family expectations that often shape our lives in complex, painful ways. I also recognize how isolating it can feel to exist in a consumer-driven, performance-focused society—especially when you're still trying to find your tribe.
