Dr. Dawn Robinson

My name is Dr. Dawn M. Robinson (Dr. Dawn) and I am a nationally recognized Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate life challenges. As the founder of The Oasis Institute for Holistic Health and Wellness, I provide culturally responsive counseling for children, adolescents, adults, and communities across the African diaspora and beyond. I look at the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and lived experience. I adapt my approach to fit each stage of life, utilizing therapeutic play techniques to help youth express themselves, alongside somatic tools like yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness to help adults ground their nervous systems. I empower individuals, communities, and organizations to cultivate whole-person wellness and thrive!

I utilize an ecological lens to understand individuals throughout the life span, integrating this framework with CBT and Adlerian therapies alongside experiential mind-body and play practices so that every client is empowered to build resilience and well-being
