Robyn Carter

Hi there!

 

My name is Robyn Carter and I am passionate about supporting those experiencing mental health and/or substance use challenges. I believe meaningful change begins with a safe space filled with empathy, collaboration, and authentic connection to explore life’s difficulties. 

 

I hold a Master of Social Work, an Honours Specialization in Psychology, a two-year Addiction Education diploma, and have over five years experience in crisis intervention. In my crisis background, I have supported individuals experiencing acute and chronic suicidal thoughts by using de-escalation, safety planning, and present-focused approaches to help them feel grounded, supported, and better able to cope during times of distress.

 

In my practice, I work alongside clients to build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and support meaningful change aligned with their values. I believe that by clarifying what matters most to us and allowing our values to guide our actions, we can begin to reconnect with a sense of choice and agency, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. My approach is collaborative and client-centred, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and crisis intervention.
