Getting to know Robinson St. Victor
Vital Steps Mental Health Counseling Services is the realization of a calling to serve, encourage, motivate, inspire and support individuals, groups, families and organizations within a community to achieve and maintain an established or projected goal resulting in the satisfaction of living a purpose driven life or experiencing relief from a stressor that prevents one from truly enjoying the journey of life.
Mr. Robinson St. Victor, the founder and Managing Director of this Mental Health counseling service, is a warm, caring, and compassionate person who has dedicated his entire life to the service of others. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a fellow with the American Psychotherapy Association, and a member of the New York State Mental Health Counselor Association. He holds a Master’s Degree in Psychology and a Certificate in Addictive Diseases. Mr. St. Victor builds the practice on the premise that every behavior has an underlying cause. If one can understand that underlying cause, one can facilitate acceptance and help develop coping mechanisms designed to adapt or effectuate change.
Vital Steps Mental Health Counseling Services aims to address a variety of stressors that inhibit members of our community from experiencing peace of mind. The company holds the belief that life is a gift and as such, should be an enjoyable journey – not an overwhelming pointless burden. We address the following issues: Depression, Stress, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Addictions, Relationships, Grief, and Loss.
I consider it an honor and a privilege when a client affords me the opportunity to be part of their lives. It is an awesome responsibility. One that is not taken lightly. To me, the therapeutic alliance is a key component to effectuate change. It is based on warmth, compassion, understanding, honesty and trust. I will establish a safe place that allows clients to reflect and problem-solve without judgement; a place where they can be “themselves”."
What should a new client know about working with you?
I consider it an honor and a privilege when a client affords me the opportunity to be a part of their life. It is an awesome responsibility—one that I don’t take lightly. To me, the therapeutic alliance is a key component in effecting change. It is based on warmth, compassion, understanding, honesty, and trust. I will establish a safe place that allows clients to reflect and problem-solve without judgment—a place where they can be themselves. I believe clients are the experts in their lives. They know what they think and feel. My role is to guide them as they uncover behavioral patterns developed because of long-held beliefs and attitudes. Once that is achieved, we can begin the hard but noble work of creating lasting change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Clients will experience an emotionally warm, caring, compassionate, empathetic and safe environment as they explore pathways to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of emotional distress. Enlighted with a greater sense of awareness, they will leave feeling accepted, affirmed, empowered and challenged by a thought-provoking solution focused perspective designed to help them manage the issues raised in the session.

Was hesitant at first because I’ve never had a male therapist, but he has made me feel so comfortable with just one session. I already know I’m going to grow to love and cherish our sessions! He has a great humor, a soothing voice. He really listens and takes in details. I’m super excited to see where this goes and I felt very good after the first session. Don’t think twice to book with him…. Just do it . You won’t regret!

April 7, 2023Carolyn S.Verified patientVideo visit
Although he is licensed in NY and could not charge me for our time he still spent over half an hour listening to me and trying to help me work through some issues. This is what someone does when they care about their patients. ????
February 2, 2023Jason S.Verified patientVideo visit
Mr. St. Victor's bedside manner was impeccable. He was kind and empathetic, not only toward my daughter who was the patient but also to me, the parent with so many questions and concerns. He was an amazing listener and extremely effective in getting my daughter to feel comfortable and open up to him.
September 6, 2022Kaitlyn P.Verified patientVideo visit
I was really impressed by Mr. St. Victor and his wealth of knowledge. He is really down to earth and yet very professional. He is efficient and quite practical. He is polite with a great sense of humor that put me at ease right away, allowing me to lower my guards, and immediately started working on my issues. I whole-heartedly recommend Mr. Robinson St. Victor.
