Robin Trivette
I’m Robin Trivette, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, individualized mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults throughout North Carolina. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, supportive, and personal. I take the time to listen to your concerns, understand what you are experiencing, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your individual needs and goals. My practice includes psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and ongoing mental health care. I have more than 20 years of experience in healthcare and mental health and hold two master’s degrees from East Carolina University and Maryville University. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I work with individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, stress, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. I offer both in-person appointments and secure telehealth visits for clients across North Carolina. Whether you are seeking help for the first time, looking for a new provider, or need ongoing medication management and support, I would be honored to be part of your mental health journey. **Be kind to your mind.**
First session
In the first session, clients can expect a structured and collaborative approach to ensure a successful therapeutic journey. Initially, we'll conduct a screening process to assess compatibility and suitability for your specific needs. Following the screening, we will send you the necessary paperwork and screenings, which should be completed and returned before the first appointment. During our initial appointment, we will engage in a thorough discussion to understand your treatment goals, as well as any challenges or concerns you may be experiencing. This dialogue is instrumental in shaping a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique circumstances and objectives. We believe in making every session count, so you can expect to begin your treatment journey from the very first session.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths is taking the time to truly listen. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking openly about what they are experiencing and to know that their concerns will be taken seriously. I bring more than 20 years of healthcare and mental health experience to my sessions, along with a practical, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe clients should understand their diagnosis and treatment options, including the potential benefits and risks of medications, so they can be active participants in their care. My approach is collaborative and individualized. I look beyond symptoms to understand the whole person—their experiences, relationships, stressors, strengths, and goals. I combine evidence-based treatment with genuine conversation, education, and support. Most importantly, I want clients to leave their appointments feeling heard, respected, and hopeful about the next steps in their mental health journey.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve a diverse range of clients across all age groups who are seeking comprehensive mental health care. My expertise includes managing medication and therapy for a wide spectrum of mental health conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and substance misuse. I am particularly dedicated to ensuring that mental health care is accessible and timely for everyone, believing that no one should have to wait for months to receive the support and treatment they need to achieve better mental well-being.
Treatment methods
Positive Psychology
Robin has found positive psychology an important addition to other types of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Her project in the DNP program at Duke University is on the effects of positive psychology. She also has spoken about the effects of positive psychology among other professionals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With more than two decades of training and practical experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have had the privilege of assisting numerous clients in their journey toward better mental health. Through CBT, clients acquire essential skills to challenge and transform their negative thought patterns into more realistic and constructive ones. They gain access to a toolkit of cognitive tools and strategies, enabling them to replace self-defeating thoughts with healthier alternatives. It's essential to recognize that CBT is not a universal solution, as each individual's needs and circumstances are unique. In some cases, alternative therapeutic modalities or interventions may be better suited to address specific challenges and tailor the treatment to each person's requirements. My extensive experience with CBT has taught me the importance of customizing therapy to ensure the best possible outcomes for every client.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
My extensive experience of over two decades using Interfamily Systems Therapy (IFS) has been instrumental in facilitating transformative changes in patients. IFS has proven to be a valuable therapeutic approach for breaking down barriers, fostering deeper understanding among family members, and nurturing the development of stronger and healthier connections within families. Through my long-standing practice of IFS, I have witnessed numerous individuals and families achieve profound personal growth, improved relationships, and enhanced emotional well-being.
