I am glad you have reached out for help. I am Sherrill Robinson, a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach by clicking on my name on this page. Please also feel free to ask questions. Online counseling is fairly new, and I've found it to be really effective for many issues. I hope it will be helpful for you and your concerns that you mentioned in your message.
My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help.
I'm sorry you are having a tough time right now, but I'm really glad you are reaching out. I'd like to help you work on the struggles you are facing and offer you a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings. I can understand that some issues feel very private. My schedule is posted online. Please select a time for our first session.
Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.
You are not alone. Things can and will get better. I'm really looking forward to working with you!
