I am Robin Green Gilman. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, wife and mother. I provide my patients with a warm and compassionate therapeutic setting. I believe that the most important factor in the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist. I work with my clients to relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety and I teach skills to make changes that will last a lifetime. I often give my clients assignments to work on between meetings to reinforce the work that we have done during our sessions.

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

During your first therapy session, we will work together to establish a strong foundation for our future work. By getting to know you and understanding your unique situation, we can collaboratively define goals and develop a plan to achieve them. This will ensure that our sessions are focused, productive, and tailored to your specific needs.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I tailor my treatment modalities to what benefits the needs of my client. I primarily use Psychodynamic Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We will start by looking at the current stressors in your life and then examine your past to see how it affects your current being and make the changes that you want to make so that your past does not dictate your future. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify how your thoughts affect your emotions which affect your behavior. We then look for solution-oriented skills to change the thinking thus changing the behavior and emotions.

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

My clients have reported that my biggest strengths are my empathic listening, supportive nature, and ability to say the difficult things that need to be said to my client in a gentle and supportive manner. I believe in solution-focused brief therapy. I do not believe in keeping my clients coming back for an extended time. Once my clients have reached a level of improvement where they are happier in their lives, I look to extend the periods between sessions. My goal is for my clients to take the skills they have learned out into the world, and then come back for refresher sessions when needed.
