About Me
Robin Happeny, LCSW
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Coeur d’Alene – Hayden area with over 15 years of post-graduate experience providing individualized therapeutic support to individuals and families. I have a passion for working with adults, teens and pre-teens whom are currently experiencing one or more of the following issues:
-
ADHD
-
Health and Chronic Illness
-
Life Transitions
-
Women’s Issues
-
Couples
-
Families
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Professional Performance Fatigue and Burn Out
When I am not with my clients, I treasure spending time with my husband, two children and three dogs! I also love being with friends, traveling, home improvement projects, art & architecture, & staying physically active.
My Approach
My approach is non-judgmental, warm, welcoming and soothing. I also come to the table with laughter and a genuine desire for you to truly feel well. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person in Environment Theory, which can be alike to a holistic outlook, as I value what you are experiencing on an emotional and physical level and how that shows up within the environment you live in.
As I understand more about you, I will work with you to explore your values and motivations for change. Together we can create any pathway you desire taking.
I'm an Integrative Therapist, which means I will access a "toolbox" of knowledge of what has been researched and tested to qualify as "Evidence-Based" methods and treatments. Because there is no "One Size Fits All" in this life, I take care to utilize components of a number of evidence-based treatments so I can provide an individualized treatment approach to meet your needs.

Experience
Throughout my career I have had the privilege to provide counseling services to children, teens, family units and individuals across many settings, to include adoption counseling and assessment, emergency psychiatric care, residential behavioral healthcare, court-ordered assessment and treatment services, wraparound care and outpatient clinic-based care. I have also worked in the field of behavioral healthcare administration on a national level to fulfill a passion I have had for growing and developing businesses to provide effective, evidence-based services to their clients.
