More about Robin
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
A mixture of hope and skepticism often accompanies seeing a new therapist. You wonder if this therapist can help bring an end to your suffering and confusion. You ask yourself if you will get the clarity you are searching for, closure to the grief you are experiencing, or find purpose and meaning in the life you are living.
I bring to your sessions a blending of training in evidenced-based psychotherapy with over 30 Years of combined professional and personal experience to help you through your journey of self-discovery and healing. I provide the emotional support needed as you walk through the barriers of fear that prevent you from exploring your inner world and living a more liberated, balanced life.
I walk alongside you in a caring, empathic therapist, as you uncover your seeds of suffering. I teach you skills to help you cope with what cannot be changed, and offer new ways to perceive and experience yourself and your reality that can be a wellspring of growth, positivity, and personal life enhancement.
Treating the whole person, I place value on the lessons learned from all of life’s experiences. In addition to psychology, my wisdom draws from the gifts of the natural world, the cultural and performing arts, mindfulness, and my belief in empowering people to find their own unique gifts, talents, and wisdom to create more meaningful connections and purposeful living.
I specialize in individual psychotherapy working with adults across the adult lifespan. Whether you are struggling with stress-related issues at home, work, or with relationships in general, feelings of loss and grief, caregiver fatigue, or feelings related to change and life-transitions, I utilize evidenced based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and insight-oriented psychotherapies to help you increase self awareness, experience your own inner wisdom and clarity, and create a foundation for successful coping and handling life's uncertainties, healing, and greater life satisfaction.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've worked with Dr. Avery since 2020. She is everything I was looking for in a therapist. She's kind and compassionate but asked the hard questions I needed to get me where I wanted to go. Every minute spent with her felt worth the time. She helped me change my life, and the ripple effects will be felt forever.
Dr. Avery is an absolutely wonderful therapist. She's empathetic, insightful and incredibly intelligent. I look forward to our sessions every week.
Dr. Avery is the perfect therapist for me! She is such a great listener and always knows exactly what to say. I love that I can message her 24/7 and I love our weekly video sessions!

She seems to be a very good therapist
I appreciate Dr. Avery's calm demeanor and well thought out questions. I appreciate her willingness to text back between sessions, and her willingness to be flexible with what I'm looking to discuss.
I’ve only had three sessions with Dr. Avery, and she’s already proven to be such a help and has afforded me such great relief. She is insightful, an excellent listener and truly knows what she’s doing. I’m so grateful I was connected with her!
Very pleasant visit

She is a very good listener and gives me good ways to look at my challenges
Dr. Avery is the best !
Dr. Avery is amazing . A great listener , supportive, kind, open to hearing your experiences and sharing her own , My therapy sessions with her have been some of my favorite times of the week even on more boring and less challenging weeks . Excellent continual insight from someone who has lived a very full life
Dr. Avery is a great listener and is very kind. I feel I can tell her anything and not feel judged. She definitely has a lot of wisdom.
I can’t thank Dr. Avery enough for all her work. My quality of life has improved drastically because of her teachings.
Robin has become one of my favorite people and is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She always goes the extra mile to help me with whatever I need and she truly cares. Thank you Dr Avery
Great sessions! Almost 2 months in with Dr. Avery, and she is a lovely woman. Compassionate and takes the time to understand everything you have to say. Very happy to have found her. Thank you Dr. Avery!
Dr. Avery is the best therapist I have ever had. She listens to my concerns and I always feel better after talking with her. My highest recommendation.
Dr. Avery has been fantastic she has a clarity , tenderness , sense of humor , and down to earth nature that all work together to make her really see and be able to speak to the issues that I experienced even if she han't experienced the same issues firsthand . Speaking with her for just a few weeks has improved my overall health substantially . I have enjoyed working with her tremendously and would highly recommend her to anyone coming to Betterhelp from a challenging emotional place like i initially did .
Dr. Avery is always so understanding and helpful. She allows me to word vomit and go at my own pace- whereas some other counselors try to control the tempo. I love how we work through my problems together! She helps me see situations clearly where sometimes my past could fog my judgement. I love our relationship so much!!
Dr Avery is a superstar
She's helped me out immensely!
Dr. Avery has been a godsend and I'm very grateful for her work. She's been a great listener, who listens a lot but knows when to ask the tough questions that have required me to think through issues. Under her guidance, I've been able to make a lot of progress in a short amount of time. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Dr. Avery is fantastic. She is relaxed and laid back. I feel very comfortable talking to her about anything. I don't have to worry about offending. I can just be myself. Although, I am not 100% sure what I want to accomplish with counseling. Dr. Avery has been supportive and has had a positive influence on my life. The changes that I have made with my thought process and how I approach various situations have been much easier and I understand why I would react and/or feel the way that I did. She has been paramount in improving my mental health. One day at a time.
Dr. Avery is a breath of fresh air. I feel like shes able to get to the root of my emotions and feelings. I’m very impressed with our ability to connect , given the virtual setting. I give her an 11/10!
She’s the best counselor I’ve ever spoken to. Each session has had purpose and I’ve left each one with a new sense of clarity.
Dr. Avery is amazing. She makes me feel heard and gives me healthy ways to work through my trauma!
Dr. Avery makes me feel heard and validated. She has helped me work through a lot of issues that were bogging me down for years. Since being her patient, I have felt happier and more in control of my life.
Dr. Avery is by far the best therapist I have had. She has such warmth and compassion toward her clients. I have always felt safe and accepted, while still being challenged and encouraged. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Dr. Avery has been an absolute life-changer for me. She is the most genuine, kind, and sincerely caring person and therapist, she truly values supporting you and your journey to living a fulfilled and loving life!! I 1000% recommend Dr. Avery, and I couldn't imagine how my life and mental health would be right now if it wasn't for her support and knowledge.
Dr. Avery is the best therapist I have ever had, and I’ve been in therapy for over 20 years. She truly listens to what you say and think and doesn’t try to change your mind or topic. She is so supportive of me as a person and not judge mental at all. She truly wants the best for me and helps me solve all (and any) of my problems. She gives great perspective on how to resolve problems in my life by giving tips and recommendations for similar scenarios. Previous therapists would say “and how does that make you feel?” Or “we’ll do this and see what happens.” She kindly gives me some perspective which allows me to come to my own conclusion. I love that I can message her throughout the week if something comes to mind, so I don’t have to wait until our weekly session to discuss it. I love my weekly chats with Dr. Avery and would recommend her to everyone! She’s helped me overcome personal trauma, as well as relationship and family problems. She literally can talk about anything, it’s amazing.
I wasn't sure what to expect. But Dr. Avery has been exceptionally helpful. I come out of each session with a better understanding of myself and how to deal with my daily struggles. Thank you for all the help you have provided so far Dr. Avery.
Dr. Avery is the best! She is a wonderful listener, has great suggestions and asks thought provoking questions.
She’s amazing
Dr. Avery is PHENOMENAL! She is a true expert in the field. As a fellow therapist, I would recommend her to any individual in need of real self-exploration. Happy journey!
My experience with Dr. Avery has been nothing but positive. I feel comfortable talking about what's going on and not judged at all. She has provided me with good insight so far!
