About Robin
Robin Livingston-Richter is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years of experience. She offers a validating, solution-oriented style that focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Robin helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or stuck in patterns like codependency or eating difficulties.
She has worked in hospitals, day treatment centers, shelters, outpatient clinics, and private practice. That range means she is familiar with different care settings and the pressures those places can bring. Robin also supports parents, students, and adults coping with ADHD-related challenges and life transitions.
Robin uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and teaches mindfulness and intentional living skills. She mixes short-term, goal-focused strategies with attention to how thoughts and habits affect daily life. Her approach aims to help clients build skills they can use between sessions.
In addition to clinical work, Robin co-founded a nonprofit called Mental Health Navigators. Through that organization she facilitates a virtual parenting group designed for adults with teenagers who have mental health concerns. She also provides ADHD life coaching and practical success strategies for students, parents, and employees.
Robin lives in Minnesota and completed graduate school at the University of Minnesota in 1993. Outside of work she enjoys exercise, music, time outdoors, travel, and cheering for local sports teams with her husband, two adult children, and dogs.
