Dr. Robison is currently accepting new clients.
I believe in delivering care from a place of compassion and collaborating with the client to better understand their unique clinical needs. For children, I also believe in collaborating with families and necessary stakeholders in the client’s social system (such as their therapists, medical providers or school) to better understand and address treatment needs. I use a biopsychosocial formulation to conceptualize a client’s needs in the initial appointment and work collaboratively with a client to develop a holistic and comprehensive treatment plan. I believe in treatment being an active process where care is based on evidence.
