Robin Behn (she/her)

My Approach to Helping

Robin has a holistic perspective on health and recognizes that sleep, nutrition, exercise, and creativity can affect how we feel. She cares most about the counseling relationship she and her clients build together, a place of trust, warmth, acceptance, and hope. She listens deeply to her clients and walks side by side with them to develop goals and gentle plans to reach those goals. Robin embraces evidence-based methods to help each person explore themselves and their story, as well as a toolbox of skills to promote well-being day by day. Robin’s trauma-informed, eclectic approach draws from IFS, Lifespan Integration, Attachment Theory, CBT, DBT, existential theory, and career theories.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Robin is a mom and stepmom of grown-up boys and has prior experience as a professor. In her personal life, she enjoys writing, listening to books, playing flute and penny whistle, anything to do with the arts, cooking with her husband, taking long walks around Portland, and learning the names of the beautiful birds and bridges here.
