Robin Poage, LCSW

You don’t have to be perfect to be loved and perfect is boring anyways!

Humility, honesty and humor are what I value most in my relationships with my clients to create lasting change.

I work with people from a variety of backgrounds and genders, but I specialize in helping women heal from relationship and attachment trauma so they can overcome anxiety, navigate changes in their relationships and careers, reconnect with their sense of self, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections.

The women I work with may have their “stuff together’” on the outside but doubt themselves and their abilities to achieve success and happiness in their lives.

They often feel as though they need to be perfect to be loved and accepted. They have difficulty setting boundaries that feel good to them because they assume the expectations of others are very high.

They struggle with compassion fatigue, overwhelm and overthinking. They have a hard time talking about how they feel to friends and family because they don't even understand why they feel overwhelmed and undervalued.

 Through some tears but mostly laughter, I help women gain the confidence they need to trust themselves to make choices they feel good about to live the full life that they deserve. They learn to trust their inner voice, stop over-functioning, and start living with more ease, clarity, and joy.

In our work together, I use a holistic and trauma-informed approach that blends mindfulness, somatic (body-based) strategies, and insight-oriented therapy. I also draw from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you identify your values, make meaning from life’s challenges, and move forward in a way that feels authentic and grounded.
