Ty Robinson, Ed.M., LGPC

In my practice, I emphasize the therapeutic relationship as an integral part of authentic healing. As a licensed graduate professional counselor in Washington, DC, my therapeutic approach centers on building trust, discussing your experiences without judgment, developing emotional understanding, and engaging in holistic healing that supports my client’s journey of self-discovery and self-love. I recognize that one approach to therapy cannot fully capture your intersectional experience, culture, and identity, so I tailor treatment to reflect your goals and needs. When working with me, you can expect a supportive and collaborative space where you can openly share and explore the parts of yourself that matter most.

toward meaningful change
deserves acknowledgement."

My Academic Journey, Clinical Training, and Therapeutic Approach

I have a master’s degree in counseling from Boston University and am currently pursuing a Ph.D.  in counseling psychology at the University of Maryland College Park. My clinical experience spans working with adolescents, young adults, and adults, particularly those who identify as LGBT+ and/or belong to racial and ethnic minoritized communities. I have provided care in various settings, including outpatient medical clinics, residential treatment programs, university counseling centers, and athletic teams.

While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of my practice, my training has equipped me to integrate therapeutic approaches that honor cultural identity, acknowledge the impact of past experiences, and facilitate emotional understanding. This holistic approach has allowed me to center my client’s lived experiences and address challenges related to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, phobias, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more.

“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
