About Ann
Ann Robinson (she/her), is a therapist and social worker licensed in Colorado and Indiana. As a therapist, she loves working with folxs who are determined to make sense of their lives, relationships, and patterns that feel disruptive or impactful in their lives. People who are in some kind of transition (work, life, love) are right up her alley. Personally, she's an LGBTQ+ ally, was born and raised in Philadelphia, is a long-time binge-watcher of TV shows, and lives for matchmaking clients and friends with other people that they'll love and who will love them. She believes while what we talk about in therapy can be really serious, there is always room for some silliness.

The Journey
Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice –
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do –
determined to save
the only life you could save.
