I am an OB/GYN and for more than 5 years have enjoyed a referral relationship with Robyn. She has been an excellent resource for my patients with depression, marital issues and intimacy issues. Robyn has been readily available for consultation, seeing my patients in a timely fashion. She has seen many of them as on-going clients. She sees several in group therapy setting. My patients who see her have been very happy with their therapeutic outcomes and ongoing relationship with her. I can recommend Robyn highly as a therapist. It has been my genuine pleasure to share patients with her over the years, I feel the benefit has been largely mine! and certainly for my patients.
