Ilene Robbins

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • Westport, CT


I’m Ilene Robbins, a Licensed Professional Counselor and I believe meaningful change happens through connection, trust, and understanding. Clients often describe me as warm, highly perceptive and solution oriented . I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.


I work with teens, adults, professionals, parents, and couples who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck — even when things appear “fine” on the outside. I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and major life transitions.


As both a clinician and a parent, I understand how complex relationships and emotional worlds can be. I bring a balance of empathy, insight, and practical guidance to my work, helping clients make sense of patterns that feel confusing or painful and move toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.


You don’t need to come in with perfectly formed goals, just a willingness to begin. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of creating meaningful, lasting change.

Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Westport

Finding OCD therapists in Westport starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Some therapists have training in approaches commonly used in OCD care, and not every therapist has experience with them. If you’re seeking support for obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, or anxiety that connects to OCD, review therapist bios for condition-specific experience and consider asking a qualified clinician about appropriate care.

Westport has a smaller local therapy market, so virtual appointments can help widen your options while still keeping care accessible from Connecticut. As you compare Westport therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of focus may have different experience than one who names ERP directly, so use the bio to understand their approach before booking.

Therapy in Westport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are ready to take new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
