Robyn Travis
For over 25 years, I've walked alongside people facing eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, depression and trauma, from residential and day treatment/PHP programs to outpatient care. I work with preteens, teens, adults, and whole families, because healing sometimes happens best when the people who love you are part of it.

If you're tired of struggling alone, you're in the right place. Contact me and lets begin the healing process.
First session
I've been told for many years in my career that people leave my 1st session with good connection and rapport as well as a sense of hope that they made the right choice. The 1st session is gathering your story and needs and after that we begin the healing process as I prefer to see my clients weekly to start to really get to know each other and begin building the relationship and trust.
Strengths
I am well know for not being "just a listening ear". I will hear your story and work with you to find ways to mange your life, cope and heal and give you the tools that best meet your needs. With so many years of experience I have a huge tool box to draw from as not every tool is a great fit. My career has always been filled with empathy, compassion, care and even sometimes laughter and joy in sessions. I bring a long history of caring for those who need it most with me into every session.
Ideal clients
There is no "ideal client" all are welcome in my sessions. If you need special care for specific needs let me know and we will ensure if I cannot provide it or am not trained for it we will find someone who is. I encourage open, radical honesty from my clients and prefer them not to hold secrets as they can really become barrier to recovery.
Origin story
I worked 7 years as an EMT on a advanced life support ambulance. If you called 911 I showed up! It was there that I discovered people in need of compassion, understanding and someone who cared during their fears and pain. I began to study in Psychology and switched career paths to meet peoples needs and support them on an even more personal level.
Ongoing work together
The goal of therapy is to see progress in your healing. If that takes a few months , over a year or many years, time doesn't matter. What matters is what we achieve in therapy is helping you in your life as we go. I always welcome back former clients who end therapy because it has helped them so much but then come back for some additional help as needed.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT will be explained and used in almost all sessions, for many years this has helped the majority of my clients. I provide a variety of evidence based practices beyond CBT such as ACT, CBT-Insomnia, ERP, Faith Based, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and many more so if your looking for a specific type of therapy let me know and I will let you know if I provide it.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
This is a skills building type of therapy so I encourage you to look up the pillars of DBT and get started in learning about it. I find CBT mixed with DBT can be profoundly helping in most therapy sessions.
