Behavioral Medicine is an interdisciplinary field that utilizes behavioral health techniques (CBT, relaxation, hypnosis, biofeedback, mindfulness meditation, and others) to treat various medical and behavioral health conditions. It primarily targets the treatment of medical conditions that are exacerbated by stress and other psychological factors, such as: hypertension, diabetes, IBS, migraine headaches, TMJ, skin disorders, sexual disorders, and others. Behavioral Medicine specializes in treating conditions associated with habits and lifestyle, such as: insomnia, obesity, smoking. Behavioral Medicine interventions can be applied to the treatment of common mental health disorders including depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, PTSD, OCD, and ADHD, among others.

"We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today." - Albert Ellis This is the basis for how I practice therapy. Although the past matters, the way we perceive our current experiences influences how we act and feel today. In my practice I work with clients on understanding the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and bringing awareness to help improve their everyday experience. This work can apply to treating a variety of difficulties including insomnia, anxiety, and depression as well as developing coping strategies for more general life complexities.

As a licensed psychologist, I offer evidence-based psychotherapy that has been shown to help manage your symptoms. My aim is to help clients learn skills and tools to help manage intrusive thoughts, phobias, generalized anxiety, OCD concerns, and sleep disturbances. Although change is never easy, I am a believer that through hard work, dedication, and determination it is possible.

I work with young adults and adults, offering sessions through telehealth. I specialize in treating chronic insomnia through CBT-I, which is a short, structured, and evidence-based treatment for insomnia. I also specialize in working with anxiety disorders and depression, and I sometimes see these co-occurring with insomnia. Perhaps you have been trying to work through this on your own or hoping it would just resolve itself, but you have reached a point where you would like some extra support. I'm always honored when a client chooses me as that extra support, and I take the responsibility very seriously.

Are you experiencing stress due to life transitions? You may be feeling overwhelmed with the responsibilities before you. Are you wondering about your purpose in life? Perhaps you’re seeking more meaningful work? You might be finding it difficult juggling work, family and personal time. It’s a time of promise and excitement, but it can also bring up worries about expectations and fears you’re not living up to your true potential. You sense that you could be happier, more content, but you feel a bit like you're swimming in the weeds, life coaching can help you attain clarity in order to achieve your goals.

Starting therapy can be difficult. It is not easy to share your vulnerabilities in general, let alone with a completely new person! My hope as a provider is to create a space where you can feel empowered to make desired changes while being met with compassion and validation. I offer in-person therapy for adults in Northern VA and online therapy in VA, MA, and all PSYPACT states (see psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap for details on PSYPACT states). My approach to treatment is collaborative. It is my goal to provide you with treatment that is both evidence-based and individualized so that you feel treatment is meeting your specific needs.

I don’t like stating what disorders I treat. Diagnoses are limiting. I work with people, and people are complicated. Sure, you have symptoms that bother you, or you wouldn’t be looking at therapists on this site. But your symptoms vary, and you may not be clear about their origins or why they persist.

My non-judgmental, strengths-based approach to therapy can help you better understand yourself and improve the way you respond to life’s challenges. I primarily work with individuals experiencing anxiety, obsessive thinking, difficulty tolerating change or uncertainty, insomnia, and grief. I will join you, support you, and challenge you to help you grow and achieve your personal goals.

Depression, anxiety, trouble concentrating, behavioral problems, insomnia, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, and flashbacks are just a few symptoms that can be caused by underlying trauma. Most of us have dealt with trauma in our lives. A traumatic event could be one isolated incident, such as a car accident or death in the family. Some individuals have experienced pervasive trauma, such as an ongoing medical procedure or family discord. At Robinson Counseling and Wellness, LLC we have clinicians who been trained to effectively resolve the symptoms of trauma and provide a safe environment for healing.

I often utilize mindfulness principles and stress management in order to meet goals related to improved mental and physical health.

I believe that therapy is most effective when there is a warm, supportive relationship between the therapist and child or teen. Does your child suffer from anxiety, trouble getting along with peers, depression, or behavioral problems? Therapy can help you child strengthen and learn new skills to address these concerns.

Are you feeling completely drained - physically or emotionally? Maybe you can’t even remember the last time you felt well rested and stress-free. Living with stress, anxiety, fertility struggles, postpartum changes, cancer, or insomnia is hard enough but doing it while trying to manage all your other responsibilities can be draining. You may sometimes find yourself worrying about things you never used to even think about. The sadness you feel at times can make it hard to imagine reading a book, going out with friends, cooking a healthy meal, working out, sitting through another school play, or telling your partner about your day.
