Amy Robbins

My communication style

My communication style is genuine and engaged. I listen closely and aim to create a space that feels safe and respectful, and real. The tone I set is thoughtful and grounded, and collaborative, so clients can show up as they are without having the pressure to have everything figured out.

My journey to mental healthcare

At 19 years old, I learned that my dad had a life-limiting illness. The medical social workers at the hospital guided me through the process of saying goodbye and how to forgive myself. Becoming a therapist allowed me to embrace people’s stories and hear the potential for growth. And I have a deep sense of honor in joining them on their way.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by first identifying them. From there, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an exploration of how earlier life experiences continue to shape the present. I help them to build practical skills, deepen self-acceptance, and move toward healing without being burdened by painful memories.

Our first session

I’ll want to know what brought you to this first session. I’ll ask lots about that, how you got to this point, and what has helped or not helped in the past. I do have questions, but the answers aren’t the only important part. This is your first opportunity to see if you feel a “fit,” and if my style and skills might be helpful to you.
