Robin Abercrombie

Robin Abercrombie believes wholeheartedly in the inherent bravery, strength, and intelligence of every individual, echoing the wisdom of Dr. Seuss. Understanding that play is the universal language of children, she utilizes a diverse array of play therapy techniques—ranging from sandtray and puppets to art therapy and bibliotherapy—to support children, adolescents, and occasionally adults as they navigate their unique challenges. Play therapy serves as a powerful medium for both children and adults to process childhood traumas, including the pains of divorce, foster care, abuse, neglect, bullying, and domestic violence. Defined by the Association of Play Therapy (APT), Play Therapy involves a systematic approach wherein trained Play Therapists leverage the therapeutic power of play to facilitate healing and optimal growth. Moreover, Robin frequently employs EMDR therapy, both independently and alongside play therapy, demonstrating its efficacy in helping individuals confront trauma, reduce anxiety and depression, and mitigate related behavioral symptoms. Through her compassionate approach, Robin provides a safe space for clients to thrive and flourish.
