Our Philosophy

The decision to seek support from a psychotherapist often means life has reached a point where it no longer seems manageable. Whatever may be causing the issue, the nervous system has responded to these stressors in now unhelpful ways, resulting in anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviour, relationship challenges, or difficulty with daily functioning. In many cases, the foundation for such responses began long ago, thus entrenching core patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. While these patterns initially emerged and developed to protect us in the past, they are no longer adaptive in our present day.

Now, the good news...

When core patterns are explored with increased awareness and curiosity, they can be changed to improve our overall brain health. The benefit is liberated life energy in the nervous system that serves to improve our engagement with the world and helps bring truer happiness, fulfillment, and self-compassion. Enabling the connection with this true essence of self is the fundamental belief behind choosing our name, CORE.

Our Team Of Psychotherapists

Andria Robin MEd., RP, CCC, SEP

Notably, during this period, I worked as an Associate at the Men’s Project seeing individuals and conducting group therapies for trauma survivors. In 2006 I was invited and mentored into private practice by 2 well loved colleagues, where we conducted 3 group therapies together in the areas of addiction and disordered eating and sexual compulsion; as well I saw individual clients. In 2010 I trained in couples therapy and began work in this capacity, which to this day, I find very rewarding.

Today my areas of specialty include adult survivors of childhood trauma and compulsive behaviours such as substance and sex. I see clients with a variety of difficulties with mood including anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. In addition, I see folks who need help with anger management, relationship, separation and divorce issues. I am very comfortable working with different family members to help them navigate challenging terrain in a thoughtful and caring way. I do not however see clients under 18 years of age.

In general, I prefer to work collaboratively with my clients to address their needs and find positive outcomes. I work in an eclectic manner and pull from a wide variety of resources and tools. I allow my clients’ needs to guide me to the most fitting and beneficial methods for each. In most recent years, I see that becoming a friend to our nervous systems is a valuable resource; vital in choosing healthy and balanced pathways to wellbeing. To this end, I have trained extensively in somatic experiencing (SE). I have a background in emotion-focussed therapy (EFT), schema work, attachment-related therapy and other modes of practice. Because we as humans are social beings, I find much of my work to be relational, meaning the use of a mutually respected alliance between client and therapist. Here we can explore alternatives that will aid each person in achieving lasting emotional health and mental health in relation to the self, and all areas of life.

Stay tuned for further details….
