Change, growth, challenges, and transitions are inevitable, unavoidable, and often completely unexpected in life resulting in small traumas that can still cause significant distress in daily functioning. A part of being human involves having perceived “demons” in our closets or events we experienced in our past or childhood that may impact our present-day functioning. You may have unintentionally learned that repressing or not talking about these small traumas is the “appropriate” way to cope but it may not be working resulting in you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, upset, and like you are spinning out of control.

I, Christine (Chris) Robinson, enjoy working with children and adolescents who are having difficulties behaviourally and emotionally, such that they are struggling to become calm and regulated enough to be engaged fully in their own lives.

My empowering and passionate work with athletes, performers, coaches, military personnel, and business leaders focuses on sustainable high performance and positive well-being.

Do you find yourself struggling with feelings of anxiety and constant worry, no matter what you do? Although anxiety is normal, when it doesn't go away it affects our quality of life.

Opening up is difficult. Often we're told to deal with it, or that things will get better. Maybe you’re going through a transition, feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck. Maybe you’ve been feeling an emotion you’ve been told you’re not supposed to feel. Navigating these conflicting thoughts and feelings can be a lot to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone. Maybe you feel like your problems are too big or too small. Maybe you feel like something is just a passing thought and is not worth bringing up.

I am a graduate of McMaster University’s Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Human Behaviour and Master of Science in Psychotherapy program. My education and training have focused on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches to childhood and adolescent anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and related difficulties, emotion regulation, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and areas of living specific to adolescent life. A large part of my training was at St. Joseph’s Anxiety Treatment and Research Centre (ATRC) in CBT for social anxiety, panic and agoraphobia, trans-diagnostic anxiety/mood for youth, and OCD.

You’ve decided you want to deal with what you have been trying to push down. Most of all, you’re ready to get to where you want to be and feel better about your future self & relationships. I want to help you get there.

I've worked for over 18 years with survivors of trauma and vicarious trauma - sexual, physical, emotional, mental and or neglect. Often these traumatic injuries appear in life as anxiety, depression, addictions, flashbacks, unhealthy relationships or chronic pain.

I specialize in including mindful attention to the body with talk therapy to help clients unlock the painful legacy of trauma.
