Karin Pfeiffer-Robinson (she/her)

I completed courses in Ecopsychology and Ecotherapy at Lewis & Clark College, while in the professional mental health counseling M.A. program. During my graduate internship, I worked with individual clients of all ages at a nature-based therapy agency, and I bring this expertise to my work with clients whether sessions take place outdoors, indoors, or through telehealth, if it is something that is important to you.

Technology and the pace of our modern world often brings us out of ourselves and out of the present moment. The practice of being mindful and approaching ourselves with an open, compassionate curiosity has the ability to dramatically shift our relationships, both with ourselves and with others. Scientific research also shows that mindfulness leads to lasting, positive changes in the brain.

In my work with clients, and in my own personal journey, I have observed that it is very common to feel overwhelmed and confused by our emotions. It may sound very simple, but recognizing, accepting, and addressing our emotions can become the basis for a more grounded and meaningful life.

Our bodies hold so much wisdom. And yet, many of us have learned how to disconnect from them as a way to avoid feeling our pain and other intense emotions. It is possible to rebuild your connection, gradually and safely, with the feelings your body holds. I often weave together somatic therapy with parts work, informed by Internal Family Systems therapy, and find that this helps clients access their experience in deep, meaningful ways.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy through the EMDR Institute. An evidence-based treatment for addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other concerns, I have found EMDR therapy to be a powerful and helpful approach that can lead to lasting change.
