ABOUT
Finding a Trail that Fits
We sometimes harbor the belief that there’s a “right” way or a “correct” path to get through life.
In reality, most of us are faced with a multiple-choice game and find it difficult to figure out what our next step should be.
Here’s a “not so secret” secret… there’s rarely one right path.
Rather, we can explore the possibilities and help you develop the ability to discern the choice that works for you.
I am here to help with that choice.
Panorama Therapy
Therapy is a gift you give yourself.
Working together, we’ll get a clear idea of what drives you, what makes you feel most alive, and apply that knowledge to your own unfolding life.
Sometimes it feels like you’re headed in the right direction, but sand keeps getting in your boots and slowing you down. Sometimes you come across a huge boulder, such as grief, that appears to block any path forward.
Together, we’ll step back, relax, and take in all the possibilities. We do this with iRest® meditation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). When you have a clear understanding of your personal values, strengths, and goals we’ll develop a plan to take you forward.
Individual Online Therapy
Online therapy uses video technology to provide therapy, including psychological therapy.
Panorama Therapy uses a HIPAA secure network that allows me to meet with you through video in complete privacy, despite the multiple physical miles between us. This allows you to set up sessions wherever you are comfortable and lets me see people from all parts of New Mexico, Oregon, Minnesota, and Kentucky, the states where I am licensed as a clinical psychologist.

About Robin Pope Santa-Teresa, PsyD
I’ve followed some pretty curvy paths to get where I am now.
In 1982, I was fresh from Missouri and in a PhD program at the University of New Mexico. The original plan was to become research psychologist focusing on sign language development in deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children.
Then some life happened. And then some more.
Through some unexpected events, I ended up at Gallaudet University and then began working as a school psychologist with DHH children. This took me to Northern California, Oklahoma, Westchester County, New York, and Kentucky. Along the way, I studied art therapy and worked with DHH and hearing children in metropolitan schools, pueblo and reservation schools, rural schools, and treatment centers.
In 2007, I finally finished that elusive doctoral degree in clinical health psychology and have provided individual therapy to adults. Since 2015, my therapy practice has been completely web-based.
Throughout this journey, I’ve maintained my love for mountain trails, dogs, yoga, and theatre. Where does all this leave me? Well, I’ve met fascinating people in interesting places and continued to be delighted in the potential all humans have.
I look forward to helping you develop a plan for your own journey!
