Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not all therapists are alike. After 9 couples therapists in 12 years she was the only one who could help with complex trauma and infedelity.

Frankly life altering
The best therapy and changed my life ! I came in with debilitating depression, and after doing therapy for six months I got till a lot of family of origin trauma work. I like that she is very compassionate that says it how it is. I needed someone to be more direct with me than pass therapists. I am also a question, so it was very well suited for me with everything. She knows about the Bible. There are no words to describe my deep gratitude for the Therapy in the work that Robyn does. She is truly a gift and Therapist.

The first time in therapy. I tried before and didn’t like are the first meetings. Call me picky! After the dust sessions I knew she was the one I needed to work with because she is straight to the point. She helped me navigate the loss of my wife. She helped me get through the process and was very helpful. I wasn’t really a believer in therapy until I needed it

Honest and Soooo helpful
My husband and I have been to half a dozen or so therapists over the course of our 25 plus year marriage. All for typical relationship issues. We have found it tough to get real, honest, no-nonsense, and pragmatic insights into what’s really going on in our marriage. Robin gave us just that. Useful and practical coping mechanisms and tools that we could apply everyday. From the very minor challenges to the occasional major challenges that the typical 21st century American marriage deals with! Can’t say enough good about her. Highly recommend.

The best Therapist ever
I needed someone to help me out of depression caused by severe loneliness in my marriage. She was so patient as i weeped the entire 5 sessions. I have had a huge breakthrough in my life and finally see that I was my problem and not everyone around me. I have never known such a caring and compassionate person let alone therapist

We had filed for divorce
We had seen 2 other couples therapists. One told us to divorce after 12 sessions and was nothing left to do to help us. We saw Robyn broken and hopeless. After so much hard work and a year later we are in love again . Our three children deserved us trying and it worked.

Thank you Robyn for giving our marriage exactly what 9 other therapists failed to do. We needed to be told where our blind spots for and appreciated her direct and honest approach. Other therapists tiptoed around too much. Worth every penny but sure wasn’t easy. One year total

We saw her for marriage counseling and hands-down the best therapy. I agree with all the other reviews and can’t think this therapist enough. We wouldn’t be married still if it wasn’t for the therapy and our hard work with her.

One of the most outstanding qualities about robin is the way she could point things out to me that i couldn't see without being critical. I thought everything in the world was black and white and she helped me see colors is the only way i can describe this therapy. She is so ex perienced and has a knack for knowing what to say and how to speak into life. I now believe that my diagnosis was just a state of emotional maturity and now i dont fit any of those criteria. I can now be the parent i want to be. Everything is better.

My daughter saw Robyn when she was 21. I could not believe how much she matured and grew in just a few months. My sister went as well. My sister had bad depression and just divorced. She was skeptical because she had bad experiences with therapy in the past. After 4 months I saw her smiling again and learning parenting skills that we certainly were not brought up with. I finally started seeing her about 5 months ago and my marriage has literally turned around. It was great before but now

I am more of a love avoidant , but my wife bought the online course and I saw a huge change in her. I decided to try it as well. Our marriage is the best its ever been . I didn't realize how her neediness was making me feel trapped. I liked the boundary section the most. It also helped us parent our three kids more effectively.
