My name is Cindy Robinson and I am the founder of The Kid Factory as well as a Board Certified Integrative Life Coach. I specialize in working parents, teens, and young adults who are on a journey to heal or understand themselves on a deeper level. Rather than just give advice, I love to connect clients with their intuition and help them begin their journey towards healing through self-understanding and self-compassion.

Read the information below to see who I am a good fit for, as well as my style of practice. I have nearly a decade of training; including licenses, certifications, workshops, mentorships, research, and more that I use to create my own style of practice that is unique and intentional. It is my passion and my purpose to stay on top of leading-edge research and tools for how humans best thrive, not just survive.​

What type of clients are ideal for my work?

PARENTS 

TEENS/young adults 

• your own childhood trauma or mental health diagnosis (ADHD/OCD/Anxiety/PTSD) is impacting your ability to be the type of parent you want to be

• you have done the work with a therapist, but still have some residual negative thought patterns that ruminate

• you have a child who is struggling with a mental health diagnosis or sexual/gender identity and want to know how to best support them

• you feel you’ve lost your sense of purpose outside of being a parent/spouse

• you feel you have lost your intuition and don’t know where to go next

• ​you are diagnosed with OCD, anxiety, and/or ADHD and want to understand your diagnoses or yourself on a deeper level

• you are struggling to know who you are, this may include ruminating, dissociative, or intrusive  thoughts

• you are struggling to make life decisions (“adulting”) or are afraid of the transition from childhood into adulthood

• you are buckling under the pressure to succeed (aka “gifted kid burnout”)

• you cannot see the amazing person everyone says you are

• you feel unmotivated or lack executive functioning skills

What does working with me look like?

Step 1: Reach out to me  – we will chat for about 30 minutes (at no charge) and discuss whether I am the right fit. If I am not the best fit I will refer you to another professional…. I have a wonderful referral network of fantastic people!

Step 2: If you decide to schedule with me, we will discuss what your care plan will be.  The length of time a client sees me varies and is totally individualized, however most of my clients see me for an average of 12 sessions (at a rate of $85 per 1 hr session). Coaching is designed to be different from therapy, in that it is typically more appropriate for people who do not need long-term support. What your sessions will look like also varies from client to client, but here are some methods I often utilize in my practice:

• in-person sessions (meet at either my office at West Milford Farm or at a local park or trail for walk-and-talk)

• virtual sessions are also available (for long-distance clients)

During sessions I often use these methods:​

• walk-and-talk

• guided meditation

• emotional clearing

• restorative yoga

• the use and discussion of physiology of your brain and body, neuroscience, genetics, and other scientific research that is relevant to your healing process
