About Me
Hello! I’m Robin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Robin Landers, LCSW is a highly experienced psychotherapist, educator, and certified EMDR therapist, as well as an EMDRIA-approved consultant. With over two decades in mental health treatment, she specializes in trauma-informed care and innovative therapeutic approaches. Based in Austin, Texas, Robin has been at the forefront of integrating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), pioneering protocols that enhance healing and transformation.
After years in solo private practice, Robin co-founded Connected Heart Therapy, expanding her commitment to holistic mental health care and professional education. As an EMDR consultant and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy trainer, she facilitates basic trainings, mentors clinicians, and educates other mental health professionals in EMDR and KAP protocols. Her expertise is rooted in a deep understanding of trauma, healing and the transformative power of personal growth.
Robin’s clinical work spans individual and couples therapy, with a focus on complex trauma, psychedelic-assisted therapies, and systems-centered therapy. She has worked with diverse populations, from adolescents in the juvenile justice system to adults seeking transformative therapeutic experiences. Trained in MDMA-Assisted Therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and Systems-Centered Therapy, she brings a compassionate, integrative approach to mental health treatment.
Robin remains deeply dedicated to advancing the field through training, mentorship, and innovative clinical applications, continually refining her work to support both clients and fellow professionals in achieving meaningful psychological change.
My Approach & Values
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients are free to explore thoughts and feelings, developing a cohesive narrative of their past and present. Clients gain insight and awareness, which allows for connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the body. Integrating these components of awareness is the path for optimal health and well-being.
Cultivating awareness within oneself allows for exploration, problem solving, and healing. Throughout life we often have experiences that create disconnection from our inner awareness, which results in misattunement between mind, thought, emotion, behavior, and body. When this happens we are operating outside of conscious choice, driven by automatic responses that cause us to be emotionally reactive, often manifesting in depression, anxiety, emotional disconnect, feeling numb, or a subtle sense of nagging or dissatisfaction in life.
We will work toward restoring a connection to your inner awareness, creating integration, balance, and ease.
