Hello! I’m Robyn, and I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you’ve found a safe, welcoming space to begin your journey. Whether you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or weighed down by life’s challenges, I’m here to support you with compassion, creativity, and a personalized approach to healing. This is a safe, affirming space. In today’s world, many of us are feeling the effects of an unpredictable political climate, economic instability, and ongoing societal change.

I'm originally from New York City I've had personal and professional relationships with all cultures I believe for a therapist to help a client he must use love
Do you feel lost and broken? Does life seem hopeless right now? It’s not. Your trauma and pain can actually be an essential part of transforming your life. There is no substitute for painful life experience in moving you toward learning to experience life in the moment, with a greater sense of purpose and contentment.
When we live in spaces of meeting other people’s expectations, how can we ever discover who we authentically are? My role as a therapist is to create a space where you are able to be authentically yourself. We are not simple and isolated beings. We are influenced and impacted by various different relationships and experiences throughout our lives. There is no road map on how to be. So, let’s create it together.
I am a trauma informed Independent Couple and Family Therapist, which allows me to hold space and acknowledge the multitude of different factors that influence a person or couple. I received my Master's from Appalachian State University in Marriage and Family Therapy with a certificate of Multicultural Counseling.
As a queer, neurodiverse, 2nd generation Martinican American, I understand the importance of providing culturally responsive and affirming care. I believe that therapy deserves a person - centered approach putting emphasis on the need for collaboration and consent throughout the whole experience. Transparency and honesty are priorities for me as a therapist to ensure there is an ability to create trust and understanding from the start of services.
Being neurodiverse, it is important for my clients to understand that I work with your brain rather than against it. Allowing for multiple possibilities and ways to navigate difficult experiences to ensure that what is being explored is supportive, inclusive and accessible to all of my clients without the experience of shame and challenges internalized ableism.
Clients that are most successful are willing to be challenged, self-reflect, being willing to try something new and learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I feel privileged to be able to be part of your journey.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Cincinnati starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a space where their identity is understood and respected. Others may want a provider with specific experience in areas like coming out, gender identity exploration, or navigating family dynamics. Licensed providers — such as LPCs, LICSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists — who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health can offer that kind of informed, affirming care.
Cincinnati has a broad range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can take time — especially when directory listings are outdated or don't confirm whether a provider is actually accepting new patients. Reading a provider's bio is one of the most useful steps you can take. Look for details about their approach, the populations they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. A free phone consultation, when available, can also help you decide if a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a first session.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit, though costs vary based on your location and specific plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans.
