Pearl Robinson, LCSW-S, DSW Candidate

Both professionally and personally, Pearl understands that the journey to self-acceptance can be uncomfortable, yet attainable. Across more than 17 years, she has sat with clients in moments of uncertainty, transition, grief, and growth, and has come to deeply trust the resilience that emerges when people are given the space, support, and tools to understand themselves more fully.

Her clinical approach is grounded in liberation psychology, solution-focused therapy, and culturally responsive care. She views therapy as a collaborative process that honors the impact of culture, identity, relationships, systems, and lived experience on mental health and well-being. Rather than focusing solely on what is wrong, Pearl helps clients recognize their strengths, identify patterns, challenge beliefs that no longer serve them, and explore what becomes possible when they are supported in creating meaningful change. Her work centers the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that healing can include both understanding where we come from and creating new ways of moving forward.

Her research interests include culturally responsive measurement tools and interventions, scale development, burnout, occupational well-being, internalized oppression, Black women’s mental health, women of color mental health, health equity, and anti-oppressive clinical practice.
