Hello, my name is Robin Hughes, I have been a resident of Alaska since 2007, and a licensed clinical social worker since 2010. In the past I have lived and worked in Nome, and had the privilege to travel to remote villages, and have been working in the Matanuska Valley for the past 5 years. I love connecting with a diverse number of people, and have successfully worked with people from all walks of life including Native Alaskans and Veterans. Topics I am competent in addressing include chronic health issues, relationship or parenting issues and many other recent or long term, life and mental health challenges. I have a background in alternative medicine, and these more eastern outlooks, continue to greatly influence my perception of illness and dis-ease as a mental health provider. I strive to see the balance within people, and strengthen and empower my clients to develop and strengthen their existing, as well as new strengths in order to achieve greater life harmony. The building of a healthy and trusting therapeutic relation is tantamount to the success of therapy, and I am honored by the trust and courage it takes when invited to partner in creating a place where healing can begin. The healing process can be likened to building a garden, where there is first an identification of what may no longer serve, and what needs to be planted for future harvest.

I appreciate having “homework”. It’s a therapeutic exercise that helps me. My therapist doesn’t just sit and listen to me, she actively participates in our sessions and offers support, asks questions, and provides insight.

Robin has been focused on coping skills so far with me and I'm glad. She has a somewhat unique spin on concepts you would normally see in therapy. Would recommend!

Robin is an excellent listening ear. She has a quirky style to her but if it molds with you, then you’ll find her really helpful. She’s creative, intuitive and always leaves room for collaboration and new ideas. She listens well and always makes each session about you and your needs. Highly recommend.

Robin is wonderfully kind and as an Asian American I appreciate her blend of Western and Eastern approaches. I didn't think I would smile or laugh in therapy but have done so in each session.

Robin has an ability to understand one’s difficulties and emotions on a deeper level, better than previous counselors I’ve had. Robin has given me tools to help me better my situation, and she always point out the way forward with a positive and hopeful and honest voice. I highly recommend Robin for her skills — and as a human being who shows she cares.

Robin has been nothing but amazing. She understands me, listens to me, and know what to say to help me get through this wild ride of life.
I didn’t think I would click well with a woman, but I did. She brings me comfort & I would be lost without her right now.
So, to BetterHelp, & Robin… thank you.
You have helped me get so far & so much better.

I love how caring and very understanding my therapist is. She is very Professional at her job. I don't get any uncomfortable or confusing feedback from my therapist. I have noticed a huge difference in my mood and actions since the first week. I would recommend her for any type of issues anyone is going through. I started off little hopes to getting the help I need to feeling great about life. Thank you Robin.

Robin is amazing. I love that we find things I’ve said throughout the session and make something funny out of it them. I find myself saying this “poems” throughout my week until my next session. I really feel like I am starting to open up more and she’s been an amazing help. Highly recommend Robin!

Robin is an effective therapist that quickly hones in on my issues and does not waste my time. She shares worksheets to educate me on specific issues that come up; remembers past session themes and picks up where we leave off. I appreciate her insight.

It took a session or two for us to connect but she is so supportive and challenging in a way that promotes growth. I wish we had better internet connection for live calls or video chats. She is great and responds quickly. I feel like I have access to her when I need it.

The only reason that I will not be recommending that or help to somebody is that they are not allowed to have an animal in the session and I think that that is a very helpful method
