Karin Robbins

Enjoying a private practice in the Playa Del Rey area of Los Angeles, California, and virtually across the globe, my work blends ancient wisdom traditions with modern, present moment, body based, psychotherapies, I support integration of flow and ease into the healing process. Psychotherapy is offered via telehealth anywhere in California.

Somatic therapies have changed everything about the way that I work and live my life.  My passion and love is in the area of healing developmental trauma and working with people to recognize and become free from old survival strategies that are no longer needed to live their fullest lives in adulthood.  I am trained in Kathy Kain's Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists and have witnessed profound healing through touch work.  Even when my clients work with me virtually, this background in touch and developmental trauma healing is deeply healing. I also specialize in the Enneagram and use this tool as a map in conjunction with somatic therapies to help people unhook old patterns that are no longer needed.  I have found it to be efficient and effective and integrate it to each client's interest.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Welfare from UCLA and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California. I spent twenty-two years working in public and private agency settings providing direct services, clinical and administrative supervision, program planning and development, prior to opening my full time private practice in 2012. I love learning and growing and can often be found in a new class or training. I have a love of ancient feminine wisdom traditions, and exploring them through creativity, dance, music and writing. Nature is one of my greatest teachers, healers, and guides and I find my way to the ocean or into the forest as much as possible.
