We feel very fortunate to have worked with her. read more

Over the decades, I've been to many therapists. Looking back, I always enjoyed the visits because they mostly told me what I wanted to hear. With Robin, I finally realized that what I got from the others was not transformative. I respect and appreciate Robin for her professionalism and integrity. Not only did she tell me the truth, she gave me plan that has put me on a path to true healing and transformation. I feel she saved my life but more than that, put me on a path to real happinesses read more

Robin is a nice person but my experience with her merits only 2 stars for a few reasons, none of which are spiteful or vindictive. I paid $1500 for an 'assessment' of my condition. This was for a session that lasted 2 hours in person, and approximately 4 hours of work on her part afterward (maybe 6). The written assessment was riddled with inaccuracies and embellishments, and 'diagnoses' that I think were arrived at with scant evidence. This assessment includes referrals to other practitioners, with treatment plans outlined. The process was cumbersome, and frankly I felt judged, perhaps because of her insistence that she didn't judge me. What MFT says that? I take responsibility for my decisions, but I would not recommend anyone paying $1500 all at once for this service. Additionally, I have good reason to believe she is withholding the data from my assessments without any cause or explanation, and has given various reasons for this, indicating that there's no legitimate reason. If you are just considering her as an ongoing therapist, then try it out and see if it's a fit. I get that it's not always a good fit and you gotta shop around to find a therapist that's right for you. But again, don't go in for this $1500 assessment without extreme caution. (And don't pay for the sales pitch for this service, which I unfortunately did. Twice.) (oh, and expect to be hit with additional costs if your case is 'complex') read more

Robin is an extremely intuitive woman and therapist. She "gets it" in the best of ways. I won't say I always agreed with her but I definitely valued her opinion. She is top rate when it comes to dealing with addiction within a family. Her no nonsense approach and cutting through the BS was refreshing. I do and will continue to refer her to those that are seeking to make sense of the insanity that comes with addiction. read more

I concur with the reviews here, I've been to many therapists over the years, and while I always learned, Robin was the first to clearly explain what I'm dealing with in my family dynamics, the causes and making sense of it, and what that means going forward. I will always be grateful to her. read more

We choose CHI because to us, there was no other choice. I feel like CHI choose US. And we couldn't be more grateful. I'm seeing a son I don't recognize. In a great way! Every day that passes in his sobriety brings him closer to adulthood. We are slowly getting to know someone that can navigate the world and its highs and lows without addictive behaviors. As with the addict, its one day at a time with us parents as well, and I know that. But for today, I'm beyond happy. We are humbled that a little "pop up" on my computer brought CHI into our lives. This staff will literally do what it takes to bring your loved one back into life. As long as they have an active, interested client and a great support system. The tools are there. Our 21 year old son had been on a downward spiral for years, exhibiting drug addictions, terrible temper outbursts ( punching holes in our walls, using threatening language). We had tried every type of therapy imaginable (most of which he had refused to go to without canceling the expensive appointments) Addiction Therapists (WHAT a waste of 400.00 "Just tell him he needs to stop the drugs" ) We had tried new schools (four high schools and one college.) We had tried in patient mental health center (which he left after one night). Emergency room visits, trashed apartments, and endured with him drug overdoses too many too count. We were all at our wits end, including him. We researched drug rehabs but the rate of relapse just seemed ridiculous to us. As his mom, I have always felt that his emotions and his anxieties were the fuel driving the addictions. Taking the drugs away in rehab would only work for the time he was IN there. What would happen when he was out in the world again? We always felt that there was a mental health diagnosis that just wasn't diagnosed yet. With schizophrenia in my family, my husband and I feared the worse when he started exhibiting paranoia and delusions. One night, like so many, I was up late trolling the rehab sites online just hoping to find something that might seem different. Up popped CHI. Initially I thought I was still on my health insurance website looking up covered providers, but alas no. But something compelled me to read on. Acupuncture? Exercise? Nutrition counseling? Side by Side assistance? Mental Health? Therapy? Diagnosis? ALL while living and navigating the real world with their coaching and assistance? Now THAT made sense to me. One of my favorite expressions is "where ever you go, there you are"which means to me, that unless you clean up; your behaviors and reactions a new setting will only be that, a new setting. That is what I feared about a thirty day rehab. It would be much easier to succeed if someone took away your toys, but as soon as you have access again..well, we all know what typically happens. The patterns that make the addict REACH for those drugs in the first place are what needed to change. And that is what I feel CHI does so well. But the client needs to do the work. Moms and Dads can support the process, and boy is it a learning process. I learned things about my reactions and behaviors that I thought were helping but were only making it worse. When your adult child acts like a child, its hard for us parents to realize our behaviors that we think are helping are actually hindering. And as we thought he had a serious mental health component we always stumbled in our expectations of him. CHI has helped my husband and I navigate our own unintentional contributions and we are working daily on that. In essence, CHI helped our son navigate the world WHILE he was facing himself head on IN the world. Just graduated, he and a friend came to dinner last weekend. I was so nervous! I felt as if I were entertaining someone I was meeting for the first time. Then it occurred to me, I essentially was! The young man who sat at our table that night is one we barely knew. He talked deeply about his pride on starting school at the junior college, about getting a job in their counseling department...in short, there was HOPE in his voice. Their is HOPE in OUR voice as we recommend this path to you. My husband and I would happily chat with anyone weighing the expense of CHI with the benefits My husband and I had faithfully saved money for college for him, but instead used it on CHI. And neither of us regret it for an instant. THIS has been his education. The tools he has learned and is continuing to learn are truly what was needed. For all of us. read more

My boyfriend and I have been together for three years. We have been having a really hard time with coming together as a team and communication with each other. We tried three different councilors over the years and non of them seemed to go to the core of are issues. Our first session with Robin was unbelievable. She looked at us and shaw the deep issues that were in are hearts. She calls us on are excuses, allowing us to not waste time and energy. To focus not on are bull shit but on the deep rooted issues that cause are fights and problems. She has been worth every cent and I would recommend her to any person that is ready to live a happier , healthier life. I am so thankful for all that she is and what she has done for me. read more
