Therapists in 19067

I take pride in helping my clients find their own answers to the question of their suffering as they become aware of and begin to change the fundamental ways in which they relate to themselves and others.

Robin Downs and Associates has been serving clients for 25 years and provides biblically based, culturally sensitive, and compassionate counseling that empowers individuals, couples, and families to lead healthier lives emotionally, psychologically, relationally and spiritually . We are dedicated to helping our clients explore their hearts, their identity and purpose, and to bring wise principles into their relationships in order to bring healing. We have helped clients all around the world through Telehealth and also have counselors on staff in two locations- Ewing, NJ and Wrightstown, PA.

I perceive my work as a psychotherapist as more privilege than profession. I work with people who need help identifying the obstacles that keep them from evolving and growing. Living with depression and anxiety inhibits a person from feeling emotional fulfillment and interferes with how people relate to themselves and others. We need a safe place in which to look at ourselves without fear of judgment and criticism. Feeling safe and supported leads to self acceptance, and growth. I provide guidance within such an environment.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I have been licensed as a psychologist since 1986, and have been in private practice here in my native Bucks County for over 30 years. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, addressing a variety of difficulties, including: depression; family & relationship conflicts; social & school adjustment; grief & loss; and life changes. As you may have noticed by my photo, I am assisted by a therapy dog. Lucky Duck, who is pictured with me, is no longer with us. However, HoneyBunny, my rescuShih Tsu mix, will escort you into my office and keep you company during your sessions.

If you're looking here, you've decided it's time to figure out something--maybe a difficult relationship, a chronic health problem or a cancer diagnosis. Perhaps you've been through some hard experiences in the past that you want to understand so they don't interfere with your present life. Or maybe you struggle with anxiety or depression. I believe the therapy relationship is collaborative. Our therapy can help you more deeply understand your own feelings and behaviors so you can better cope and be fulfilled in your life and relationships.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with all forms of eating disorders and disordered eating. Clients who come to see me may have just been diagnosed with an eating disorder or have been struggling for years. Some clients aren't sure if they have an eating disorder, but know they are struggling with food and their body. Clients often reach out to me because they know that I practice from a Health at Every Size(R) framework and they want treatment that is not stigmatizing about weight. Adolescent clients and their families often seek me out because of my expertise doing Family Based Treatment.
