About Richard Robinson

As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each person’s unique journey, with a deep commitment to addressing challenges like depression, addiction, relationship dynamics, and trauma.

I offer compassionate, personalized care focusing on areas such as self-love, communication, social anxiety, life purpose, and healing from past experiences. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients across diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and emotional healing. Whether you’re struggling with workplace stress, relationship patterns, or personal transformation, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

“Richard is great! Easy to talk to and always cheerful!”

“He’s very understanding and he makes me laugh and is straight up with me at the same time. He seems like he wants to see me smile and it makes me feel so good, I barely know him and it feels like I finally have a really good friend that I actually get excited to just be able to sit and chat with and we’ve only had 2 sessions so far”

“Richie is the best! Already have my wife using BetterHelp now and my sister started using it as well!”

“Richard has helped me work through a difficult time in my life, riddled with anxiety. During sessions with him, I learned to control my anxiety with techniques that he taught me. He is very thoughtful, and he is available when you need him. <br /> After just 3 months with Richard I was able to get me anxiety under control.”

“Richard is a wonderful therapist and person!! He made me feel heard and offered me a safe space to talk and be myself. Talking with him was a highlight of my week and helped me work through a lot of my problems and worries about my life!”

“Richie is fantastic! Is there to listen and give me great advice and guidance each week. He is also very flexible with my schedule which can be chaotic with a baby and another one on the way. Recommend Richie to any and every one who is looking to have a kind ear, a thoughtful mind and a gentle heart help them along their journey.”
