Your relationship with your counselor is one of the most important factors in succeeding in your goals.  It's important that you have someone you can trust and depend on.  Someone who really listens.  Someone who can guide you in finding solutions and in building your strengths.

Robin Sawyer, LPCC LADAC, owner

I have been a counselor for over 30 years.  I am a Masters Level Counselor with two licenses in New Mexico--LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and LADAC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor). I specialize in the treatment of the following:
     - mood issues (anxiety, depression, PTSD, and BiPolar Disorder)
     - alcohol and drug problems
     - resolving trauma
     - life issues--career change, divorce, job problems, health problems
     - relationship issues
     - grief and loss
     - complex and complicated concerns--medical, mood, psychiatric, substance use
 If you have more than one issue that concerns you, you're in the right hands.

I've worked in most of the clinical counseling settings--6.5 years at Turquoise Lodge Hospital, outpatient counseling, rehab, private practice, non-profit agencies, and a community service board.  Each one of these develops different skills--I bring this expertise to your counseling.

It's important that your counselor is skilled enough in a variety of counseling approaches to custom fit the counseling to your specific issues, personality style, strengths, and needs.  I do exactly that.

My philosophy is that it's OK to want to be happy!  And you and I will work toward that goal together.
