Robin Fankell

Robin Fankell is a licensed professional counselor who understands the myriad challenges that kids and teens face today. It’s no surprise that many young people experience overwhelming emotions like depression, anxiety, and anger. Robin recognizes that these emotions can sometimes manifest into concerning behaviors, including social withdrawal, frequent crying, lashing out, self-harm, or even expressions of suicidal thoughts. For families facing these challenges, Robin emphasizes that they are not alone and that help is available. With a focus on providing professional support, she creates a welcoming environment for children to open up and explore their feelings, allowing her to delve into the core issues and devise the most effective therapeutic strategies. Robin strives to make therapy a positive and enjoyable experience by not only recognizing a child's strengths and struggles but also sharing practical tools for coping between sessions. She believes in the power of humor and connection in the therapeutic process. It's natural for both kids and their families to feel nervous when beginning therapy, and Robin encourages a consultation to address any concerns regarding her background, therapeutic approaches, and to foster a sense of comfort. Her goal is to build a trusting relationship with each child and their family while guiding them toward emotional well-being.
