You’re tired of being the "strong one"

Healthcare is a gauntlet of 12+ hour shifts, managed care, and algorithms. As a nurse and clinical social worker, I’ve been with you in the ED and primary care. I speak your language—you don’t have to explain moral injury, the frustration of a metric-driven system, or the tragicomedy of trying to find time to pee.

Queer & Neurodivergent Pros

A safe harbor for LGBTQ+ and neuro-spicy providers who can often feel like a "misfit" even within their own professional circles.

So many people rely on you. Who can you count on when you need confidential support?

Why Geek Therapy for Healthcare?

Your interests, your language

I use the affinity for specific fandoms, games, and stories to bridge the gap into therapy, exploring themes of resilience and identity through characters, strategies, and experiences.

Focused on strengths

Instead of focusing solely on dysfunction, this method highlights the skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities used in "geeky" pursuits.

Not "Weird" or Juvenile

Geek therapy is a professional, evidence-informed approach that applies to all ages—children, adolescents, and adults—with neuro-affirming qualities built in!

Your License, Your Privacy, Your Peace of Mind.

I know the fear: "Will this get back to the Board of Nursing or Medical Examiners?" The HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform and discreet record-keeping are designed specifically to protect NJ and PA providers. I prioritize your autonomy and confidentiality above all else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at robin@phillygeektherapy.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes. Telehealth appointments make it convenient for health care professionals across NJ and PA to access mental health meds. Due to the continued extension of the Ryan Haight Act, this includes controlled substances like stimulants for ADHD, benzos for anxiety, and buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.


I'm are here to help, not rat you out to the board. I take a "privacy-first" approach to your health care and documentation:


  • Discreet Telehealth: Philly Geek Therapy uses a HIPAA-compliant platform allowing you to engage in sessions from the privacy of your home or a secure office, ensuring you never run into a colleague or patient in a waiting room. 
  • Licensing Board Context: I understand the nuances of the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners, Pennsylvania Board of Medicine, and the Board of Nursing in both states. My documentation is focused on your clinical progress and wellness, maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality allowed under state law.
  • Autonomy in Documentation: I am  happy to discuss how your treatment is documented. Whether you are a resident at a major NJ hospital system or an allied health professional in a PA private practice, we work collaboratively to ensure your privacy needs are met.
  • Peer-Level Confidentiality: Because I have a background in family and community health nursing as well as emergency and crisis response clinical social work, I treat the "vault" of our sessions with the same professional respect you give your own patients. I don’t flinch at the "dark humor" or the moral injury that comes with the job; I simply provide the space to process it.


Everyone is welcome at Philly Geek Therapy! Over time, I've learned that my life works better if I just embrace my awkwardness right up front. I might ask you to help me learn some pop-culture references. I might need to translate some of my geek therapy references to fit your experience.


You take care of everyone else. Let’s take care of you.
