Background

About Robin Cullen

I love helping individuals grow and develop, whether it’s through individual counseling services or coaching sessions. Most of my services are conducted through teletherapy, allowing you to access services from the comfort of your home. I’m licensed in both Wisconsin and Illinois, so no matter where you live in those states, we can work together. I look forward to creating change collaboratively with you.I have 30 years of experience of working with children, families, and individuals. I began my career as a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing, but during my career in the school system, I have worked as a counselor, parent-infant educator, and teacher. These experiences have taught me that whether you’re a child, parent, or adult, we can become dysregulated when we experience anxiety, depression, or anger, whether it’s due to a development delay, chemical imbalance, trauma, or just life in general. Helping individuals identify their triggers for dysregulation and help them become centered and calm is my passion.All children display challenging behavior, not due to willfulness but simply because they become dysregulated. I love helping anyone who works with children understand what dysregulation looks like in children, figure out the triggers, and discover strategies to help your child stay regulated and develop positive social emotional skills.Using my S.M.I.L.E. framework I pull from a variety of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Based Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Self-Regulation. Together, we will create change collaboratively so that when services are complete, you will have a toolbox full of strategies to help yourself or your child re-center and become calm when life gets rocky.
