The first step is the hardest step and I am excited that you chose to participate in counseling services. I believe that you know more about yourself than anyone else ever will. You possess the power to effect change in your own life. I am excited to walk with you in your journey to a better understanding of who you are, what you want to change and ultimately how to obtain what you want out of life.
My name is Robin Fore Martin and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with supervision credentials (LPC-S) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) therapist in the state of Virginia. I earned my graduate degrees from Old Dominion University and Liberty University. I have worked in the mental health and substance use fields for over fifteen years. My experience includes individuals from age four years old to ninety-six. I have worked with people in all walks of life to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-harm, substance use, trauma, sexual orientation and gender identity as well as family and relationship functioning. I have also worked in a variety of settings from office to emergency room, homes, jail and academic locations. I practice a blend of therapies, specifically focused on the needs of each individual. My belief is that therapy should be approached in a holistic manner, treating the entire individual with exploration of the mind, body and spirit. Acceptance of self is primary and provides the channel to move forward with change in a safe and therapeutic environment.
Remember what you are feeling today does not dictate what you experience tomorrow. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and I look forward to talking with you soon!

Working with Robin felt like talking with a smart, wise, family member that has your best interest at heart. She is very sweet but also no-nonsense and I love that. She always made sure that I was putting my own needs first and making sure I was setting boundaries. She is a great listener, I loved working with Robin on relationship issues I was having. And if we had a week where I didn’t need to work on anything and I just wanted to talk she was open for that too.

I really like Robin so far - she's been very kind and supportive, she has excellent insights and is very professional. However, we've only spoken a couple of times for less than 30 min each, so I am not sure I am comfortable making a recommendation/rating for her nor the BetterHelp platform quite yet!
