IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN YOUR DREAM LIFE.
Meet Robyn Wilson, LCSW
Relationship & Career/Entrepreneurship Therapist for Women & Couples in NJ & NY
Whether you are a hopeless romantic trying to figure out the crazy dating world, a woman who is heartbroken after a breakup, a high-achieving female professional or entrepreneur struggling to find balance, or a couple navigating a major life transition like marriage or parenthood…
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
I will meet you wherever you are on your journey to make the life you desire and deserve a reality. I will work with you to become crystal clear on what you really want, work through what has been holding you back, and walk into your future with clarity and confidence.
MY APPROACH
At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that you have the power to create the life you really want.
My number one goal is to help you uncover and boldly embrace your power, and then put it into action. I will start off by getting to know you, your goals, and your unique needs — there’s no one size fits all here. Once we have established what you truly want for your life and what you hope to achieve in therapy, we will dive into the deep work of therapy. We will explore the past experiences that may be impacting your current functioning and identify and challenge the unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that have kept you stuck for so long. However, we won’t spend the whole time just talking about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We will also work on developing practical tools, skills, and strategies that you can implement in your daily life to achieve lasting change.
Throughout the process, we will work collaboratively — I will not tell you what to do or pretend like my professional expertise trumps your lived experience. After all, YOU are the true expert in your own life and you know what you need. I am here to support and walk alongside you on your journey of healing and transformation and empower you to confidently take the steps necessary to live an authentic and fulfilling life.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THERAPY WITH ME:
Specialized expertise
I have taken the time to become clear on the types of therapy I love providing and the clientele I love working with. I work with women struggling with relationship issues, high-achieving female professionals and entrepreneurs, and couples in transition. Narrowing down my niches has allowed me to: invest in obtaining specialized professional training and develop the skills needed to meet the unique needs of my chosen clientele. What does that mean for you? It means that you are working with a therapist who is an expert at addressing your specific concerns (instead of a jack of all trades). This contributes to better therapy outcomes, and overall, a more positive experience in therapy.
Authenticity
I promise to show up to every session as my authentic self and to make sure that you feel like you are working with a real person — not a head nodding therapist who asks “How does that make you feel?” 10x per session. Clients have shared that they appreciate my down-to-earth nature and that I am not afraid to give my honest opinion when asked or share things about myself when appropriate. For example, many of my clients who are first-generation Americans have been comforted by the fact that I am the child of Jamaican immigrants and I personally understand the dynamics of an immigrant family.
Nothing is off limits
I encourage you to show up as your authentic self as well. Cry, laugh, curse, wear pajamas and a messy bun…whatever makes you feel comfortable. I also want you to feel free to bring up any topic that you think would contribute to your growth. It is almost impossible to make me feel uncomfortable. So whether you want to discuss sex, money, unconventional relationship dynamics, or any other topic that others would label as “uncomfortable” — I am willing to go there with you.
Honesty/Challenge coupled with empathy
Clients describe me as challenging and honest, but also empathetic and non-judgmental. I will challenge you to move outside of your comfort zone because that is where true growth takes place. I will be honest with you when I believe that your perspective or behavior are holding you back from achieving the goals you have set for yourself. However, I promise to make sure that you feel heard, understood, and like therapy is a safe space, and I will be there to support you as you invest in your self-improvement.
Get the support that’s right for you.
