If you've ever found yourself thinking, "How did I end up here?" or "I know what I should do, so why can't I actually do it?" you're in good company.
I'm Angela Robinson, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, Certified Breathwork Coach, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, and the author of two anxiety workbooks: Calm in the Chaos: A Guide to Finding Peace Amid Political Anxiety and Buggin' Out: An Anxiety & Mindfulness Guide for Kids & Teens. I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Argosy University, but some of my greatest lessons have come from sitting on both sides of the therapy room. My journey into mental health began long before I became a therapist. When I was 15, my father died of lung cancer. Like many people, I learned to keep moving without ever slowing down to grieve. Growing up, mental health wasn't something we talked about. I believed that if life got hard, you simply tried harder. And for a while, that worked... until it didn't. By 2001, years of unprocessed grief and other life experiences had quietly accumulated, and I found myself in a difficult place. A friend (Thanks, Meghan <3) suggested I see a therapist. Sitting on the other side of the therapy room changed my life. It taught me that healing isn't about having more willpower. It's about having a safe place to understand yourself with curiosity instead of judgment. That experience ultimately led me to this profession. In 2005, I volunteered with the Peace Corps in Honduras, supporting individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. The experience deepened my understanding of resilience, connection, and loss. It also led me to become a Certified Breathwork Coach and strengthened my belief that healing happens through both insight and reconnecting with ourselves. For close to 20 years, I've worked in hospice, community mental health, and private practice, while also providing continuing education workshops for healthcare professionals on grief, self-care, and emotional well-being. Today, my passion is helping people untangle the stories they've been carrying about who they are, who they "should" be, and why they feel stuck. Whether you're navigating grief and loss, anticipatory grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, learning to become the parent you want to be, managing anger, caring for aging parents, or another significant life transition, we'll work together to understand not just what's happening, but what's keeping it happening. My approach is integrative because people aren't one-size-fits-all. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, and Grief Recovery® principles. Rather than fitting you into a therapy model, I tailor therapy to fit you. Therapy with me is collaborative. I'll challenge you when needed, laugh with you often, celebrate your wins, gently question the stories that no longer serve you, and create a space where every part of you is welcome, even the parts you'd rather hide. At the heart of it all, I believe healing doesn't mean becoming someone new. It means uncovering the person you were before life convinced you otherwise. If my approach resonates with you, I'd be honored to be part of your journey. |
