Something isn't working — and you're not sure why. Maybe you've been anxious for so long it feels like there’s no way out of it. Maybe you're going through the motions at work, in your relationship, in your day to day, and your sense of estrangement or unhappiness just keeps growing. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it helped, a little, but something still feels unresolved — like you've talked about the symptoms without ever really grappling with the larger issues underneath. You're not alone. And you're not broken. But you might be ready for something different.
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.
What my patients tell me is that our work together has helped them feel more like themselves, more free. I studied at Yale, Columbia, and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, where I've served on the faculty. I work with a wide range of concerns and tailor my approach to each individual’s needs.

My approach goes deeper than symptom management. I'm interested in why you feel the way you do, where it started, what it means, and what it would take for you to genuinely change — not merely cope.
