Robin Gattegno

Robin Gattegno, LCSW, is a New York-based psychotherapist with twenty years of experience specializing in diverse therapeutic modalities for adolescents, adults, and couples.

Her extensive experience in community service deeply inspired her decision to pursue a Master's in Social Work from Hunter College of Social Work, where she was awarded the Clark Foundation Fellowship from Baruch College.

Her therapeutic philosophy focuses on meeting the needs of the individual, which I attribute to my personal and professional commitment to understanding and helping others.

I apply an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach incorporating cognitive and insight-oriented psychotherapy. I tailor my sessions to meet each client's needs and assist people in discovering the reasons and motivations for their behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. With these insights, I assist clients make more informed choices.

I use cognitive therapy, which focuses on the ways your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors. I will teach you skills that will help you to make improvements in your life and to achieve your goals. Insight therapy facilitates a client’s ability to learn why certain behaviors, thoughts, and emotions govern their choices.

Therapy is important and worth pursuing because it offers a fresh perspective on an issue and gives you a better understanding of your emotions. Through this, therapy can promote self-esteem and improve relationships and your outlook on life.
