She received her post-doctoral certificate in psychoanalytic group psychotherapy from the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health.

Robin is the co-creator, with Janet Patti, of the Star Factor Coaching model, anchored in the competencies of emotional intelligence developed by Dan Goleman and Richard Boyatzis. The Star Factor Coaching model, designed to catalyze intentional change and self-directed learning, is currently being used for educational leadership development in New York City public schools.

Robin’s book The Gaslight Effect: how to spot and survive the hidden manipulation that others use to control your life, details what happens to you when someone’s certainty about your ‘reality’ causes you to second guess yourself, and, offers effective strategies to prevent it from happening. (Random House, 2007) Her latest book Project Rebirth: Survival and the Strength of the Human Spirit from 9/11 Survivors (Dutton, 211), follows the lives of eight brave people post 9/11 – it is a book about love and loss, trauma and resilience. Currently, she is co-authoring a book for Teachers College Press titled: Leadership for Tomorrow’s Children.
