Hello!
My name is Thompson Robin, MC, Registered Provisional Psychologist - AKA Tom or the guy with two first names (haha) - and I am a born-and-raised Calgarian with Caribbean roots (Dominica, the Nature Isle of the Caribbean). I am also a musician who plays three instruments - piano, bass guitar, and drums - and aiming to learn a fourth (and fifth) in guitar (and ukulele). My passions include basketball, football, hip-hop/rap, being outdoors, baking, and spending time with friends and family. I decided to become a therapist when I personally experienced the impact therapy had on me during the difficult and challenging periods of my life. As a result, I want other people to experience this powerful impact and improvement of their mental health – and I want to be the means through which they can achieve this goal!
My Counselling Services
I offer therapy for individuals (18+), couples, and families. I work with people who experience a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, dissociation, addiction, abuse, and relationship issues. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities. including Adlerian therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exposure response prevention (ERP), rational and emotive behavioural therapy (REBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), transactional analysis (TA), narrative therapy, person-centered therapy, and feminist therapy to treat my clients and help them overcome their problems. Each counselling principle, technique, and intervention is tailored specifically to your personal experience, including your diverse background/cultural affiliations (age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability, religion, and mental health diagnosis).
About PR Counselling
Perspective-Resilience Counselling Services is birthed out of the Adlerian concepts of phenomenology and teleology, which focuses on the importance of our personal perspectives on life and the purposeful nature of our behaviours. We interpret all of our experiences through a personal, subjective lens, which leads each of us to create our own individual lifestyle – the ways we present ourselves to the world and interact with the people in it. At the heart of these lifestyles is our strive toward becoming our fully realized selves: the point at which we accomplish all of our desired goals and achieve mastery in the most important areas of our lives.
