Robin Cameron,
M.Ed, RSW, RP
For over two decades, I have supported helping professionals working at the intersection of trauma work and chronic crisis. My clients—primarily in the medical, mental health, and animal care fields—often find deep meaning in their work but are increasingly depleted by the compounding weight of systemic stress, moral injury, and workplace culture.
Interweaving trauma-informed therapy with the practicalities of professional coaching, my focus is on clearing the static of a negative work environment that can often obscure your own expertise and the ability to make meaningful decisions. Finding your footing in this way allows for a re-authoring of the story—moving away from dominant narratives, often rooted in early scripts of "helping until it hurts," to regain professional clarity.
Our work is customized to your current season: processing the stories that shaped your career while navigating the practicalities of your next project, role, or transition.
A systemic collision not a personal failure
Professional Depletion
Waking up with an overwhelming sense of dread, where work that was once deeply meaningful now feels unsustainable.
Physical Toll
Navigating physical symptoms or medical tests that return as "normal" despite a persistent sense that something is wrong.
Decision Paralysis
Stuggling to navigate even small decisions, often accompanied by a sense of being "stuck" or unable to find a clear path forward.
