Prior to opening her private practice, Robin worked with adolescents in the juvenile justice system as an individual and group psychotherapist.

Jillian DiPaola is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in complex trauma and dysfunction. She  brings a deeply personal touch to her work as a therapist which is driven by her passion for understanding the complexities of the human experience. With extensive experience working in school systems, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice, Jillian has dedicated her career to helping people navigate trauma, dysfunction, and the challenges that impact their lives, careers, and relationships. Her work with teens, families, and adults has given her a unique perspective on the emotional and psychological difficulties that people face across different stages of life.**

Jillian’s approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, insight, and collaboration. She believes in meeting her clients where they are, and her sessions focus on psychoeducation, self-exploration, and helping individuals unlearn and relearn behaviors that no longer serve them. Through her “roots-up” approach, Jillian helps clients better understand themselves and their internal processes, fostering lasting growth. Her clients can expect not only valuable insight but also a warm, nonjudgmental environment where compassion and understanding are both modeled and practiced.

With a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Dance from Texas Tech University, and an M.A. in Professional Counseling with honors from Texas State University, Jillian has continuously sought to deepen her understanding of trauma and recovery. Certified in the Cloud & Townsend Growth Model and having completed numerous trauma recovery programs, she blends both evidence-based practices and a personal passion for healing into her work.

When she’s not in session, Jillian finds joy in the performing arts as a dancer and singer, teaching and performing in her spare time. Helping others remains her life’s work, and she considers it a true honor to walk with her clients on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
