Recent reviews

I've written reviews on Lisa before and have only positive things to say. Lisa has worked with me for 4 years now and I am a much different (better) person than when I first started therapy; I was angry, reactive, and continuously stuck in life. Lisa has helped me understand where those emotions came from and why they happen. Her personality is such a good fit for me. She's spiritual, bubbly, and honest. She has challenged me rather than just telling me what I want to hear, while also offering plenty of encouragment and support. She's helped me unlock my most authentic and emotionally strong self.

ABOUT ME

Good day and many blessings to you!

My first name is Lisa Robin. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the State of Kentucky (license #261241) and have been serving in the mental health field professionally for eight years (practicum, internships, job site placement and private practice establishment). Prior to this, I spent many years advocating for mental health policy reforms and service accessibility for all at local, state, national, and global levels. Wellness is my passion and supportive transformative counseling is my life purpose and soul’s calling. I am Native American from the Dakotah and Mamaceqtaw Peoples. I walk on, what is known in my cultures, the Red Road (positive way) in Wellbriety (wellness + sobriety). I believe in recovery, in each human being’s ability to create balance and harmony within themselves, and that we are all in this together (interconnected and interrelated). My honored Mohican Elder, Don Coyhis has taught me, “When one suffers, we all suffer and when one thrives, we all thrive.” I genuinely care about seeing others becoming their best self and living their most fulfilling life!

EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE

By the power and grace of GOD, I received my Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Murray State University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program on May 13, 2017, wherein I graduated with a 4.0/4.0 gpa and with highest honors (Summa Cum Laude). Additionally, I am certified in Native American Wellbriety, which is a 12 Step recovery approach utilizing the Medicine Wheel addressing addiction and Native historical trauma. I am a certified Telehealth provider.

I previously worked at an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility providing individual, group and family therapy; was a regional coordinator for the Iowa Office of Consumer Affairs Behavioral Health Division; and was a Consumer and Family Experience Team advocate for Iowa Advocates for Mental Health Recovery.

TREATMENT APPROACH

I appreciate that at times one may need assistance through counsel to activate internal resources. The skills and knowledge within you may seem hidden, elusive, and even unobtainable. However, they are there within you. I believe each person is the expert of their own life and with strengths to build upon. I do not view others as broken, rather capable of creating more choices through increased self-awareness. I approach counseling as a partnership with each client, meeting you exactly where you are in each given moment without judgment and creating a safe space for transformation to occur. My role as your counselor will be to provide opportunities for your exploration, enlightenment, and empowerment. I utilize present moment experiencing through an assorted array of interventions and authentic experimentation to increase solutions and decrease distress. There is nothing in life more rewarding than being a part of another’s growth as they learn to create nurturing relationships with self and others, positive experiences outside of themselves, and begin living a thriving way of life full of abundance, joy, and beauty.

HOW I CAN HELP

I will offer you a safe, non-judgmental, authentic atmosphere (CHRIST-led for those seeking Christian guidance); take the time to really listen to, get to know, and validate you and your life experiences; and assist you with determining your strengths, limitations, goals, objectives, and desired outcomes so that we can effectively co-create a pathway for your transformative personal journey. It is an exciting adventure and I am most appreciative that you have invited me to come along. I know it is not I who does the healing. That comes from the HEALER and YOU! I look forward to supporting you as you progress on your healing journey... Thank you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lisa Robin deeply listens and helps you develop short-term and lifelong strategies to heal, understand the root cause of concerns and create new ways to frame the future. She is all in and truly helped me through an extreme life moment. Best therapist I have had to date.

Reviewed February 2024

Lisa Robin responds about receiving a message even if she doesn’t have time at that moment to reply in detail. She balances listening, “tough love” and tries to get me to reflect on things as opposed to just trying to say something to temporarily make me feel better. She tries to get me to do the work myself.

She also has a wonderful way of showing me that I actually do have the answers!!!
