Therapists in Justice, IL

I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults of all backgrounds coping with a wide range of concerns ranging from depression and anxiety, to trauma and PTSD. I believe that one of the most powerful approaches to overcoming life’s tricky obstacles is resilience, and that working with my clients from a genuine and supportive place of connection is the key to overcoming even the most difficult of times.

While it may be difficult for you to seek help for yourself or your family, my goal is to work together in a supportive and encouraging way to meet your needs.  With over 20 years of professional experience, and as a former classroom teacher and school counselor I have developed my practice and included therapists to focus and specialize in working with school-aged children and adolescents to overcome challenges while providing support and psycho-education for the entire family. We also specialize in women's counseling and provide counseling and therapy to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples, and women.

“Holistic" dates back to the time of Hippocrates, over 2,500 years ago, viewing a person as a whole being made up of many parts that work in harmony with each other. Guided by this approach and driven by my passion in helping people reach deep healing, I have integrated into my counselling sessions, heart-centered hypnotherapy, yoga, meditation, reiki, spirituality, and guided imagery. Through these therapeutic tools, I can help you gain awareness of the connections between your emotions, thoughts and physical sensations and find your value as a unique individual.

I treat children, adolescents, couples and family in a variety of therapeutic means. I have used cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, EMDR, behavioral, and eclectic therapies in addition to others. I also have experience working with behavioral, mood, anxiety, conduct and other specialties. I appreciate diversity and love working with others of various cultures, abilities and races.

Hello, my name is Stamatia Samantha Robbins. I have been fortunate enough to work with clients aged 4-80 in a variety of settings in both the UK and the US. Whether it be on a psychiatric unit, in a client’s home, or a virtual session, I provide a comfortable and safe space to talk openly about mental health. Finding a therapist that’s right for you can be overwhelming. I am dedicated to building a relationship with each of my clients that fosters growth and trust, allowing us to work together to reach your goals.

I view therapy as a journey for self-exploration and positive change. In sessions, I work as a teammate and motivator for my clients to reach their goals and improve their quality of life. My success in helping clients comes from gaining a deeper understanding about client experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In addition, I help clients seek awareness about how their emotional experiences impact their biological health and functioning.

We do the best we can with the histories and resources we have. Our experiences and relationships shape/influence us, sometimes leaving us hopeful and nourished and other times leaving us stuck, depleted, anxious, sad, confused/overwhelmed. With a safe space and support, we can draw on our inner resilience to confront, manage and transcend our challenges, freeing us to live more authentic and fulfilling lives. My work is trauma-informed. My process is collaborative and interactive. I approach each therapy encounter with an open mind, recognizing that you are the expert in your life and know what works and what you need from therapy.

We are a multi-specialty group of doctoral level Licensed Clinical Psychologists and more recently, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families of all ages. We are interested in empowering and reinforcing a person's strengths, rather than focusing on their negative qualities. As such, positive coping skills and the concept of Health Psychology is important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and a healthy mind is important in finding balance and happiness in one's life. We try to understand maladaptive patterns and help focus our clients in participating in healthy patterns and outcomes.

In the course of our lives, we may experience challenges that can throw us off-balance in unexpected ways. These challenges can lead to depression, anxiety, relationship problems and substance abuse. Using a strengths-based approach, together we identify the tools you can use to better understand and address these challenges in order to regain balance in your life. This process will allow you to make the skillful choices you need to live the life you desire.

What happens when our well-intentioned - yet sometimes uncooperative - brains try to protect us from experiencing harm? Yup, you got it! It's called Stress, also known as Anxiety, and at times it can be quite the nuisance.

And then, let's help our brain recognize that, when we are actually safe, we don't need to go into stress mode, and instead ignite our Curiosity, Courage, and Compassion!
