Recent Updates From Robin DeBates
Last updated | Friday March 7, 2025

Geeks, nerds, hackers, burners, and makers are my specialty! Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming? Over it trying to explain that Discord is a chat server and not a state of disharmony? Feeling finished with people who don't understand online friendships are valid social support? You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful nerdiness and awkwardness. Therapy for geeks from a geek therapist might just be the support you're looking for.
Whether you're having a hard time implementing routines that serve your best self, or struggling with being Data in a world full of humans, we'll figure out concrete ways to help you feel and function better. My goal is to become obsolete in your life by assisting to uncover, acquire, and successfully deploy the skills that help you get where you want to be.
Smart people try to solve problems. And sometimes in spite of our best intentions, those problems just stay stuck. Over years of helping people getting out of the Pit of Despair and Swamp of Sadness, I've learned desire isn't the issue. It's that we, like TARDIS pilots, sometimes need a helping hand to get where in time and space we're trying to go.
