Services
Whatever brings you to Bayside Psychology, our priority is to understand what personally motivates you and what treatment outcomes would be most meaningful for you. We begin with the end in mind, collaborating to develop goals based on what matters to you and what you feel would create the most significant personal changes for your life.
One-to-one psychotherapy is not just "venting." Therapy is working with a specially-trained psychotherapist who can help you identify goals and collaborate to improve ways in which you think and feel. The best outcomes for therapy require both a good interpersonal rapport and trust between therapist and client, as well as a willingness to stretch on the part of the client working with the therapist.
Couples Therapy can be effective in helping to heal troubled relationships. If you find yourself in a cycle of having the same escalating fight or conflict that is leading to anger, resentment and general disconnection, it is time to realize that you may need professional help. The key to any long lasting, satisfying relationship is commitment, openness and a willingness to be vulnerable and take emotional risks.
Psychological Evaluations can help answer specific questions about symptom presentation, personality, and how the brain is functioning. Clinical interviews, records, and testing may be used to help focus the problems, and establish clear recommendations for treatment. Evaluations can be helpful for clarifying differential diagnoses, court-ordered testing, and other referral reasons.
We all struggle. Perhaps it is a recent change or a loss that sets us back. It could also be something we have grappled with all our lives. Whatever the challenge or challenges that have brought you here, know that we have the experience, the dedication, and the drive to help you move forward. And we won't stop at the challenges you face: we'll help you move from just getting by, to thriving and reaching your potential.

Report
I worked with Dr. Robinson twice a week for several years. This was my first experience with therapy, and thankfully my second is much more safe, constructive and useful.
I can't recommend Dr. Robinson for working with women's issues , especially with childhood trauma. He may well be trained to handle PTSD; he is both bright and well - meaning. However, knowing how to create and sustain safety is crucial for a trauma therapist, as well as maintaining the perspective to be a witness without becoming drawn into the dynamics instead of taking kind, thorough responsibility for them.
