About Divya Robin, LMHC, LPC
Licensed Psychotherapist in NYC, Hoboken, and Montclair, New Jersey
I'm Divya Robin, a Columbia University–trained psychotherapist licensed in New York and New Jersey. I run a private practice offering virtual therapy for adults, couples, and teens across New York City, Hoboken, and Montclair, NJ. I also teach clinical fieldwork at Teachers College, Columbia University, where I train the next generation of therapists.
I specialize in anxiety, OCD, relationship stress, and fertility and reproductive mental health, along with the quieter weight of being a high-achieving person in a demanding world. My training includes a postgraduate fellowship in anxiety and OCD, with advanced work in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and ACT, alongside relational psychotherapy.
My style is warm and direct, grounded in both structure and depth. Whether you're looking for focused tools or longer-term, insight-oriented work, I want you to feel genuinely seen and supported, and never alone in whatever you're carrying.
Outside of sessions, I share mental health content at @mindmatterswithdiv, serve on health and wellness boards, and have contributed to outlets including Good Morning America, The Zoe Report, and Well+Good.
My Approach: Relational, Evidence-Based & Real
In therapy with me, you won’t just learn skills, you’ll feel understood. I blend:
CBT for thought patterns
ACT for acceptance and emotional flexibility
ERP/Exposure for OCD and anxiety
Relational Therapy grounded in trust, attunement, and curiosity
Mind–body awareness for stress, burnout, and fertility journeys
This combination helps you go beyond coping and into actual change—whether that's calming anxiety, navigating a difficult breakup, healing old wounds, repairing communication with a partner, or simply feeling more like yourself again.
Who I Work With:
I specialize in supporting:
High-achieving adults who feel overwhelmed or stuck
Couples needing support with communication, trust, or intimacy
Women navigating infertility, IVF/IUI, pregnancy loss/miscarriage, or reproductive trauma
Adults with OCD and anxiety needing structured, gold-standard (ERP) effective treatment
Teens and young adults learning to understand their emotions and identity
Individuals struggling with perfectionism and emotional burnout
My clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and often carrying more than they let others see. Our work creates space to (finally) put it down.
My Story & Why I Do This Work:
I became a therapist because I know what it's like to carry a lot, quietly.
As an Indian American daughter of immigrants and a lifelong perfectionist, I learned early how to hold things together, adapt, succeed, and stay attuned to everyone else's needs. Those strengths shaped me. They also made it hard to slow down, ask for help, or make room for my own emotions. Like many of my clients, I looked fine on the outside, even when the inside felt overwhelmed.
Navigating anxiety, relationship shifts, and the complexities of fertility and reproductive health taught me how heavy it can feel to be "the strong one" in every room. Those experiences, alongside my clinical training, shape how I show up as a therapist: warm, attuned, direct when it matters, and culturally aware.
I don't believe therapy should feel clinical or detached.
I don't believe the therapist should be a blank slate.
And I don't believe healing comes from skills alone (though yes, we talk about skills, too).
Therapy with me is a relationship. You're allowed to bring the messy parts, the ambitious parts, the exhausted parts, and the parts you don't show anyone. I've sat in those spaces myself, and I know how much it can change when someone truly gets you and helps you feel less alone.

If You’re Ready, I’m Here To Support You:
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, OCD, fertility challenges, relationship stress, perfectionism, or the emotional weight of being a high-achieving human, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy is a place to feel grounded again—to slow down, understand your patterns, and create real change with someone who truly gets it.
My role is to support you with warmth, expertise, and evidence-based tools… but also with real conversation, cultural awareness, and a therapeutic relationship that feels human, not clinical.
