Robin Colaluca
My passion is helping clients find the strength within themselves to create lasting change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have spent majority of my time working in intensive settings like inpatient psychiatric units and emergency departments, providing compassionate care during moments of crisis.
I want clients to leave each session with a sense of hope—a belief that change is possible and that they have the capacity to navigate life's challenges.
I am committed to walking alongside my clients, offering them the resources and support they need to build a life they truly value.
First session
During our first session, we'll start with an intake process to get to know each other better and to see if we are a good fit. We will discuss your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. This helps us gather the necessary information to begin creating a treatment plan together.
Strengths
I specialize in helping people become more aware of their feelings and the root causes of their struggles. By using a personalized approach with a variety of proven techniques, I meet the client where they are at and help them achieve meaningful progress.
Ideal clients
I specialize in helping individuals navigate the mental health challenges—like anxiety, stress, and depression—that arise when life becomes difficult and unpredictable.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a type of structured therapy that gives people the skills necessary to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that are responsible for maintaining a state of anxiety. I have experience working with individuals with different diagnoses in an inpatient psychiatric setting and in the emergency department who have mental health-related emergencies. Techniques that I find beneficial have been role playing, mindfulness, and unraveling cognitive distortions by identifying and challenging harmful automatic thoughts.
