Even the strongest need a safe place to land.

Meet our founder, Danielle Robbins, LMHC

Ready to move past panic, pressure, and powering through?

You’re in the right place.


You already carry everything you need to heal — I’m here to help you access it.

You’re in the right place.

I’m Danielle Robbins (she/they), a Black queer therapist who works with executives, founders, and senior leaders carrying far more than shows up in the title. You’ve built the career, the reputation, the image of success — but you feel the cost. You second-guess, overprepare, and hold back what you really want to say.

Many of my clients are self-aware and have done some personal work. You might even understand the “why” behind your patterns. And yet you still feel stuck. In our work together, we’ll stitch insight and embodiment, so you stop surviving and start thriving.

My style

I believe that even when the pressure has you on the edge, the capacity to recover, grow, and reclaim your calm and confidence is already inside you.

You’ve built the career, the reputation, the image of success — but underneath, it’s getting harder to hold it all. The anxiety, the perfectionism, the quiet fear of slipping up in front of everyone — it’s exhausting. For many of my clients — Black, queer, creative, or simply unconventional — thriving in spaces not built for their full selves comes at a cost.

In my work, I help you create space to slow down and tune in. Using EMDR, somatic practices, and a deeply affirming approach, I’ll help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel lost or buried. You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and fully at home in yourself — not just surviving, but truly thriving.

My guiding principles

Growth

I believe the capacity for growth and healing already lives within you. My role is to support you in accessing that energy.

Collaboration

My goal is create a safe, warm, collaborative space where we can work together towards acheiving your goals.

Transparency

I believe that clarity creates safety. I strive to keep the process of therapy honest, transparent, and grounded in mutual trust.

Safety

I strive to create an environment where you feel safe to explore your inner world, free from judgment and the constraints you may have experienced in the past.
