Robin Poage, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
Hi there, I'm Robin! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Aurora University. I have worked in the field for close to 10 years serving individuals and families. I specialize in helping people incorporate mindfulness into their treatment to improve overall wellness and mental health. In my free time, I like to go on walks, travel, be lazy with my cats, and watch thriller movies and stand-up comedy with my husband. My approach I use mindfulness-based and insight-oriented approaches, such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)-which can be very helpful in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and big life changes. I also like to use some more creative approaches when appropriate, such as teaching clients Reiki to calm their nervous system and engaging in virtual sandtrays to "dig deeper" (no pun intended). My style is very client-centered (Rogerian), meaning that I believe you are the expert in your life and I act as a guide. My approach is also holistic, looking at all aspects of health (physical, spiritual, financial, social, etc.) to increase overall wellness. My focus I work a lot with women but also with men who are struggling with self-confidence issues, anxiety, or depression. I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients and helping professionals who may be feeling overwhelmed or over-stimulated. My communication style My style is warm yet dynamic, and I find humor especially useful in dealing with difficult situations. You will probably find that I laugh a lot (with you) during sessions. I do my best to make sure clients feel comfortable and am always willing to answer questions they may have about me-whether personal or professional. My journey to mental healthcare I've known I wanted to be a therapist since sixth grade. A close family member was struggling with their mental health, and I saw how poorly some therapists managed sessions. I wanted to do better.
