I’m Ilene Robbins, a Licensed Professional Counselor and I believe meaningful change happens through connection, trust, and understanding. Clients often describe me as warm, highly perceptive and solution oriented . I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.
I work with teens, adults, professionals, parents, and couples who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck — even when things appear “fine” on the outside. I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and major life transitions.
As both a clinician and a parent, I understand how complex relationships and emotional worlds can be. I bring a balance of empathy, insight, and practical guidance to my work, helping clients make sense of patterns that feel confusing or painful and move toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.
You don’t need to come in with perfectly formed goals, just a willingness to begin. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of creating meaningful, lasting change.
Hi, I'm Jessica and I love supporting youth and their families to bring out confidence and build healthy relationship patterns to support them as they grow in today's world. I have background in Expressive Arts Therapy and bring creative approaches including art, play, and drama therapy techniques as entry points into cognitive behavioral interventions and strategies to assist with behavior, emotion regulation, and understanding of one's self. My philosophical goal as a therapist is to help people I work with curate more joy into their lives and for children to be seen in their unique strengths and supported to grow through challenges. I believe that curiosity is the antidote to depression. Let's get curious together!
I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. I combine compassion and my clinical expertise to support the clients I serve. My goal is to help clients navigate and overcome their struggles to support and help regain stability in their lives.
I value building a trusting, authentic relationship with each client. It’s important for clients to feel and recognize the growth and progress that naturally emerge through the process. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
I have an engaging approach and provide a safe space for vulnerability and offer both faith and evidenced based treatment modalities.
Starting therapy is a meaningful step towards understanding yourself and creating lasting change. Together well work to explore the challenges youre facing, and help you mover towards greater balance and fullfillment.

Hello!
Therapy should feel like somewhere you can exhale, be yourself, and feel heard. My goal is to create a flexible and grounded space that balances support, curiosity, and practical tools.
As a dedicated School Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring a wealth of experience in mental health to my private practice. With a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University and a Sixth Year Certificate in School Psychology from Fairfield University, I am committed to providing compassionate and effective support to those in need.
My clinical background encompasses a diverse range of settings including domestic violence shelters, work with at-risk youth, and experience in a correctional facility. This extensive exposure has equipped me with a deep understanding on the complexities of mental health challenges.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. I've specialized in working with CYF (children, youth, families), and adults. I have experience in acute medical care, residential, educational, and in-home settings . I've earned a BSW from Regis College in Weston, MA, and an MSW from Boston College. I am also a 200hr RYT certification from Yoga of Energy Flow in Cambridge, MA.
In addition to a yogi, and LCSW, I am also an artist and a mother of two.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding therapists in Hamden starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.
Hamden is a smaller city near New Haven, so your local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can add more choice while keeping care connected to licensed therapists in Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Hamden can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your plan is verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
