I’m Robin Selig, a Brooklyn-based therapist specializing in supporting mothers, parents, and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. I’m inspired to do this work because I know how often the emotional needs of mothers and birthing people are brushed aside or minimized. How often have you been told something to the effect of, ‘what do you expect now that you’re a mother?’ This type of feedback often impacts why so many people experiencing challenges in the postpartum period, including depression and anxiety, suffer in silence instead of reaching out for help.

For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped parents through some of the hardest moments of their lives including postpartum depression and anxiety, grief, and trauma. My style is warm, collaborative, and often very funny. Being a parent is many things; sometimes it’s joyfrul and sometimes it’s devastating. I believe that we have to laugh whenever we can. I’ll probably also give you a pop cultural example of what you’re going through, or tell you about a tiktok video or instagram post I saw that helps make sense of what is happening. Together, we will give you a space where you can cry, laugh, and find yourself again.

What’s important to me is that you feel seen, understood and supported, and that you leave feeling a little better each time we meet. In our first sessions I ask a lot of questions to get to know you and we will work together to make a plan for you to get the most out of therapy. I'm interested in understanding you as a whole person and the context that you live. You are a mother, but there are so many other parts of you! So often mother’s feel like they lose a part of themselves in their journey into motherhood, and part of my work is helping you find yourself again.
