What Clients Say About Karen
J.S
Private Client
Forever Thankful
The CBT program Karen did for me was fantastic. Not only did I have fewer trauma-induced nightmares, I became more able to talk about my childhood and relationship with my mother without experiencing anxiety and pain. My favorite exercise was the one where I analyzed the utility of certain thoughts or beliefs, ultimately discarding so many things that were upsetting me as not useful. There were times when I felt like I wanted to give up, but Karen was great at helping to keep me motivated and accountable. At the end, I felt better equipped and more energized to take on life!
Forever Grateful
“I met Ms. Robinson after I was assaulted. My sessions with her will impact me for a long time as I needed help and an environment that would allow me to express myself without reservation and judgement. Ms. Robinson provided exactly that, Some of the qualities of Ms. Robinson that stood out to me were that she was very empathetic, easy to talk to, authentic, reliable and a good listener.”
