Robin Grace

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“I am direct and empathic. My work is rooted in relational intersubjective psychotherapy. Therapy can be a pathway to profound change.”

About Me

I offer a direct yet empathic space, rooted in relational intersubjective psychotherapy. We collaboratively explore how past connections influence your present patterns. This work helps to unravel what keeps you feeling stuck. This approach suits those seeking profound personal change and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together, we navigate challenges, guiding you towards lasting transformation.

Approach

That directness meets close attention in session, where I notice how our exchanges reveal patterns that have carried forward from earlier relationships. In my Eugene office, in English, sessions are steady and focused—we name moments of felt safety or alarm, track emotional and relational rhythms, and sometimes try small experiments between meetings to test new ways of relating. Supervision and couples work use the same attuned clarity, with attention to trauma and mood as it shows up in relationship life. This way of working fits people ready for honest, clarifying work.
