I’m Joshua Robinson, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate the complexities of family estrangement, trauma, and personal growth. I take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based techniques to support your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I work with individuals who feel trapped by past experiences, struggling to set boundaries, or seeking clarity in their relationships.

My goal is to empower clients with the tools to reclaim their autonomy and build fulfilling, healthy relationships. I believe in practical, solution-focused therapy that not only addresses deep emotional wounds but also equips you with skills to navigate life with confidence. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, validated, and supported. If you’re ready to take the next step toward emotional freedom, I’m here to guide you. Let’s work together to create the life you deserve.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other in a comfortable, judgment-free space. My goal is to understand your story, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll start with a brief introduction, and I’ll explain how therapy works, including confidentiality and what you can expect moving forward. You’ll have the opportunity to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable—there’s no pressure to dive deep right away. I’ll ask some questions about your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. We’ll explore what has been working for you, what hasn’t, and identify patterns that may be holding you back. This session is about building trust, setting the foundation for our work together, and creating a plan that feels right for you. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance—just bring yourself as you are. Whether you’re feeling nervous, uncertain, or ready to jump in, I’ll meet you where you are. By the end of the session, you should leave with a clearer sense of direction, feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the journey ahead.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and experiences. I understand that healing from family trauma and estrangement can be complicated, and I provide a supportive environment where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. What makes me unique is my combination of clinical expertise and real-world experience across multiple settings. I have worked in community mental health, private practice, public schools, and government roles, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the challenges people face at different stages of life. My background in psychology, social work, and business allows me to take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating practical solutions with deep emotional work. I specialize in helping clients who feel stuck in unhealthy family dynamics, struggling with guilt, boundaries, or self-worth. My experience working with service members, professionals, and individuals navigating complex life transitions has given me insight into how past experiences shape present behaviors and relationships. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients break free from unhealthy patterns and develop new ways of thinking and living. Beyond my clinical skills, I bring empathy, directness, and a results-oriented approach to therapy. I believe that change is possible when clients feel supported and equipped with the right tools. My goal is to help clients reclaim their sense of self, set boundaries without guilt, and build a life that aligns with their values.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

The clients I am best positioned to serve are adults who feel stuck in painful family dynamics, struggling to break free from patterns of dysfunction, guilt, or trauma. My ideal clients are those who have experienced family estrangement, emotional neglect, or toxic relationships and are now seeking clarity, healing, and personal growth. Who You Are You are someone who has spent years navigating complex family relationships, often feeling like you’re carrying the weight of generational wounds, expectations, or emotional burdens. You may have grown up in a household where love felt conditional, boundaries were nonexistent, or emotional support was inconsistent. As an adult, you’ve realized that these early experiences continue to shape your relationships, self-worth, and overall well-being. You may have already made the difficult decision to step back from family members who were causing you harm—or you may still be wrestling with the idea of creating distance, worried about the guilt, judgment, or loneliness that could follow. Perhaps you’ve gone “no contact” or are maintaining low-contact relationships, yet you still feel the emotional toll of the past. You might ask yourself: • Am I making the right choice? • Why do I still feel responsible for their emotions? • How do I move forward without guilt? • Will I ever feel free from the past? If these questions resonate, you’re not alone. I work with individuals just like you—people who are deeply introspective, aware that their past is affecting them, and ready to do the emotional work to heal. Common Challenges My Clients Face The people I work with tend to struggle with: • Guilt and Obligation: You feel responsible for maintaining family ties, even when they hurt you. • Self-Doubt and Gaslighting: You’ve been told that you’re overreacting or “too sensitive,” making you question your reality. • Boundary-Setting: You struggle to say no, fearing rejection, conflict, or guilt. • Emotional Exhaustion: Constantly managing family dynamics has left you drained and unsure how to prioritize yourself. • Rebuilding Identity: Without your family defining your role, you may wonder: Who am I outside of them? How Therapy with Me Can Help I offer a space where you can unpack your story without judgment, explore your emotions, and build the tools you need to heal. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based practices, all tailored to help you: • Va
