Robin James

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I have been working with individuals, couples and families for many years. I am thought of as empathic, warm and engaging. I consider therapy to be a partnership. It is designed to work towards "your" goals, and it is my goal, to help you achieve them. I have worked with people having many different "struggles" or "transitions" in their lives. I am experienced in all areas from trauma, childhood and adult abuse, DV, anxiety, depression, sexuality, family or other relationships, along with substance use disorders/struggles. I also understand the specific challenges that come with parenting, and the issues we encounter coping with the varied neeeds of aging parents. I use many different modalities in our work. I believe that we all can benefit from having a therapist to work with, and I look forward to meeting you. While I currently reside in the Hudson Valley, I am from NYC, and do also understand the specific stressors of city life.

Arielle Gruber

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am warm, open-minded, compassionate, and I believe in challenging my clients. I use the first session to gain an understanding of their perspectives and needs. At the conclusion, we will discuss goals for treatment and what the path will look like. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution in therapy; I draw from many methods and techniques, including both evidence-based and holistic methods.
