Welcome
I'm Robin and I've been helping individuals, couples and families in Strathcona County build the life they want. I am a strength-based Counsellor who believes that every experience is an opportunity to grow!
The name Nest Family Counselling comes from several places. For birds, the nest is a place of protection, love and warmth. A nest is a symbol of home, good luck and good fortune. My hope is that Nest Family Counselling is a place for people to come to (and return too) in any stage of life.
I am passionate about mental health, my role as a Counsellor, and the well-being of my clients. My goal as a Counsellor is to provide clients with competent, affordable and accessible mental health care. My belief is that a healthy community is built on the health of individuals from which it exists. I work with individuals, couples and families. I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves deeply impacts our relationships with others. My goal is to give my clients a toolbox of skills and resources so that they are better able to navigate life changes and challenges.
I employ humor, compassion, honestly and empathy in session and encourage client's to bring their strengths, concerns, vulnerabilities and unique personalities into the Nest. Big changes start with small steps and by making your way to my website you have already taken a step towards change!
This blog is a blend of psychoeducation and real life lessons learned. I write on topics that are relevant to my amazing clientele as well as topics that have been helpful in my personal life and journey to good mental health. Hopefully I write on a few topics that are meaningful to you as well!
If you have any questions or are interested in learning about a specific topic, please reach out at: contact@nestfamilycounselling.com.
Happy Reading!
