Testimonials

I have been blessed to have the benefit of both Robin’s wisdom and her long experience. Robin responds to me in ways that deepen my understanding. It seems to me that Robin was born to nurture.

Robin Benjamin has been a mentor and supervisor in my psychoanalytic practice since its inception. Over the years I have participated in several telecourses led by Robin. Her teaching skills surpass so many others in the field. Her endless support has enriched my practice immeasurably. Robin’s guidance, both professionally and personally, continues to be invaluable and I consider her a cherished asset in my life.

Robin, I so appreciate our various kinds of work together. Your empathy and support make it safe to focus on core issues where I can continue to grow. Your caring insight creates a space where pain and challenges can be transformed into something meaningful that can be passed forward in my life and relationships. I deeply appreciate all you have contributed to my life

I’ve been seeing Robin for anxiety and depression for a long time and she is very positive in counseling during troubling times.  She is an expert in the field with a lot of experience. I feel better every time I see her.

Since being with Robin I have overcome emotional and behavioral obstacles. It’s amazing the goals therapy has helped me reach. It my be difficult to talk every week or every other week but knowing I will reap the rewards keeps me going.

As both my analyst and supervisor, Robin’s patience, kindness and presence, as well as her deep understanding of modern psychoanalysis and her commitment to spiritual growth, have lead to both my growth as an individual as well as increased depth in my work as a therapist in private practice.

I will be forever grateful for the time I’ve spent working with Robin.  She has been my therapist for years, and during this time she has helped me in numerous ways — everything from dealing with difficult, conflictual interpersonal situations, to facing and surviving a serious illness, to pursuing a hobby that is becoming a second career. In each of these situations, Robin provided me with support, a good reality check, and appropriate feedback and encouragement.

As she has said in our sessions, therapy is about helping the patient become more of who they are and who they want to be. This is a perfect description of what Robin has helped me to do.

As a result of our work together, I am a happier, more confident, and creative person.
