Robin Raitio, LCPC

Hello and welcome!

Clients tell me I'm kind and easy to talk to, which is good, because therapy is hard enough. I love to laugh and I have a knack for finding the silver lining in a stormy situation. (It's also why I named my practice La Vie en Rose.) That doesn't mean I'm here to give you a pep-talk and call it a day. I'll sit with the hard stuff right alongside you.

I've been a mental health counselor in Maryland for over five years. In addition to my work as a therapist, I've worked everywhere from emergency services to government offices. Most recently, I worked in the Family Advocacy Division at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, supporting teens and their families through victimization and exploitation. My experience has taught me how to stay steady in the toughest moments, and how to help people feel safe enough to start putting things back together.

I grew up overseas, which gave me the opportunity to expereince a huge variety of the world's cultures. That upbringing taught me empathy, curiosity, compassion, and humility, and those tools all show up in my therapy toolkit daily. I completed my undergraduate studies at McDaniel College in Budapest, Hungary, and I continued at McDaniel in Maryland, where I earned my master's in clinical mental health counseling.

Outside of work, I'm living the full millennial cliché - gardening, doomscrolling (working on it), family time with my kids and husband, and filling my camera roll with pics of my dogs.
