01 · Who Robyn works with
Robyn lists 14 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Robyn chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Robyn's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I love helping early and mid career professionals (and college students too) feel more successful at work and in their personal lives. I began my practice in Union Square, with patients ranging from NYU grads just starting out, to executives in the tech industry, and everything "New York-y" in between. If you are struggling with your mood or relationships in the office or at home, having a relatable professional to talk things through can be invaluable.
I have been practicing as a licensed social worker in New York state since 2006. I began my private practice in Manhattan in 2009, and expanded to Westchester County in 2014. I transitioned to a remote model to better serve clients whose demanding schedules presented a barrier to traditional in office treatment. I participate in ongoing supervision and study groups with a focus on relational psychotherapy. My clinical background ranges from positions in major medical facilities to small community based agencies. I completed an intensive three year post graduate certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I trained extensively in the art and practice of deep, therapeutic listening and intervention.
I bring to my work compassion for both the common and more unusual struggles encountered during this delicate phase of life. If you’d like to breath a bit easier, be more comfortable in your own skin, and feel more connected to others, I can help. Taking the first steps can be the hardest. But you'll find instant relief knowing help is on the way.

03 · What happens next
Robyn practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Robyn's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Robyn at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Robyn is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Robyn.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Robyn actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Robyn's - Robyn has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
