Phelina Robinson

Healing looks different depending on where you are in life — and I meet you exactly there. As a Black therapist, I support young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, academic pressure, and identity-related stress. I primarily work with young adults and adults from all backgrounds — including Black clients, students under academic pressure, first-generation professionals, and individuals working through identity and cultural stress. I also have experience working with children, teens, and families navigating behavioral and emotional concerns. I provide therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, academic pressure, life transitions, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and identity-related stress — including code-switching and cultural stress. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with trauma-informed care, adapted to each client. With younger clients, I draw on play-based and developmentally informed approaches. With young adults and adults, I focus on building a collaborative, culturally grounded therapeutic relationship where real progress happens. I hold an M.S. in Education in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Hunter College and a B.A. in Education Studies, Cum Laude, from Spelman College — backed by 7+ years of clinical and educational experience that inform every session. I offer secure, confidential online therapy to clients in Massachusetts, Florida, and New York, with sessions available in 60 or 45-minute formats and sliding scale pricing.
