Robin Keillor, PhD, (she/her), Associate Vice President of Student Health and Well-Being
Hi! I’m a licensed psychologist with a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Arizona State University. I’ve worked in college and university counseling centers for most of my professional career, and I love working with college students as they navigate change and seek balance. I try to create an accepting and inclusive space, where people can take risks and be vulnerable enough to heal and grow. I often encourage clients to consider their multiple roles and competing priorities, so they can make choices aligned with their chosen values. As they learn to recognize the ways that their identity and positionality impacts their lives, I reinforce or help them to locate their strengths and resilience (especially when they’ve lost sight of them). My approach is highly relational, and I integrate multiple therapeutic approaches to match the needs of the students I work with. I will assist clients to increase their awareness of self, society, and others to create additional options for navigating, accepting, or resolving the impact of life stressors or trauma on their daily functioning. We’ll also find ways to increase a sense of connection to self and others, where that is needed. This means that I will help you to consider how you interact with the systems you live within (or that are imposed on you) in the healthiest way for you.
I have expertise in working with people who have experienced trauma to seek trauma processing and resolution. I am also specialized in intersectional/culturally responsive counseling, identity development, relationship dynamics, and academic success. I have significant experience and training in working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, Students of Color, International Students, Students with Disabilities, and Veterans.
When I’m away from work I enjoy listening to music, hiking, reading, and playing games. I love spending time with my family, friends, my dog (Suki) and my cat (Remy).
