Robin Massey, PhD, LAC, MAED

Dr. Massey is a licensed associate counselor, dedicated to encouraging and empowering people to cultivate healthy lives – spiritually, mentally, physically, and relationally. She counsels and coaches, seeking to help people develop the clarity and confidence to live purpose filled lives. Her approach to counseling is rooted in a biblical worldview, which means she believe in the power of Grace and redemption.

As someone who has “been there,” Dr. Massey counsels on trauma, sexual abuse, toxic relationships, boundaries, grief, divorce, domestic abuse, college and career planning, professional development, and life transitions, and new beginnings. (Psalm 37:24).

She especially enjoys working with women in various stages of life; and as a former high school teacher, certified school counselor, and college professor, she employs a light-hearted style when connecting with teens and young adults. 

Hope is powerful. Dr. Massey feels it an honor to work with people seeking to move beyond their current struggles. She grew up in unstable and uncertain circumstances involving abuse, neglect, homelessness, and death of a parent when she was only7.These circumstances set her on search for love and identity that she later learned could only be found in the Creator. 

Although Dr. Massey became a Christian as a teenager, her relationship with the Lord deepened later in life when she traded her ways for His – she stopped trying to fill the God shaped holes in her heart with things that would not satisfy. Instead, she traded her need for accomplishment, approval, and accolades for the forever healing that would come through Grace, Faith, and EMDR. 

As a result, Dr. Massey specialize in Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a research based therapeutic approach to exploring unhealed wounds and to reducing the disturbance of traumatic and/or painful memories. This holistic approach considers the mind, soul, and spirit – to help you heal from your painful past – Fresh starts and new morning mercies. 

Dr. Massey adamantly believes you’re not defined by what you’ve done or by what’s been done to you. ~ Your past is not your future. (Lamentations 3:22-23) On the lighter side, Dr. Massey is an aspiring beach dweller – has a flair for cooking, decorating, and organizing – and fueled by coffee, tea, and joy!
