James Robinson, LCSW, LMSW(He/Him/His)

James Robinson is a licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalytic trainee who works with adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape their lives. Many of the people he works with come to therapy feeling stuck, dissatisfied, anxious, depressed, or struggling with questions of identity, intimacy, and meaning.

His approach is grounded in psychoanalysis, which means paying close attention not only to current concerns but also to the unconscious thoughts, feelings, and relational patterns that influence how people experience themselves and others. Together, therapist and client explore recurring themes in the client’s life, fostering greater self-understanding and creating space for meaningful change.

As a Black male clinician, James brings a thoughtful and culturally informed perspective to conversations about identity, race, sexuality, belonging, and difference. He is particularly interested in how personal histories, relationships, and social worlds shape inner experience.

James strives to create a therapeutic relationship that is curious, collaborative, and reflective. He works with individuals navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, creative challenges, and longstanding emotional struggles. While he welcomes those seeking support around immediate concerns, he is particularly drawn to longer-term, insight-oriented work that allows for a deeper exploration of the unconscious patterns, conflicts, and relationships that shape experience over time.
