Dr. Robin Wachs
Welcome! It’s a big step to acknowledge that one could use some help. Whether you’re suffering from depression, anxiety, irritability or some other version of unhappiness or interpersonal conflict, you’ve already taken an important step, by seeking help. Even if you struggle with significant health issues or other difficult life circumstances, you have within you all that you need for greater fulfillment, joy, and empowerment. I will help you gain the understanding, new perspectives and tools you need to harness your own strength! In the process, you will likely feel greater clarity and a whole lot better!
I am a warm, seasoned, excellently-trained psychologist. I help individuals who are feeling unhappy in their lives, with themselves or with their relationships. My specialty area is helping people cope with chronic illness. I virtually always have a few clients with these challenges, while the majority of my clients struggle with other issues.
As a Professional Member of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), I have developed expertise in helping others cope with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and subsequently, with other chronic illnesses (eg. Cancer; Diabetes, …). I’ve seen how pain can initiate growth, and ultimately, strength. This belief guides my practice and optimism.
