Helping children grow from strong roots. Because lasting healing builds from connection and relationships.
Meet Kristina Robbins, LMFT | Therapist in Spanish Fork, Utah
You know your child best.
You spend every day loving them, comforting them, encouraging them, and trying to help them through the hard moments.
So when something feels different, it's natural to wonder if you've missed something or whether you're doing enough.
I’m sure you have plenty of “mom guilt” already, and I believe that parents don’t need any more.
My role is to come alongside your family with specialized tools, a different perspective, and a place where your child can safely work through what they're carrying.
Maybe you’ve thought:
“I really thought parenting would be different.”
“I want to enjoy my child, but I’m just so exhausted!”
“I’m worried about my kid, but I just don’t know what to do anymore.”
“I’m starting to feel hopeless!”
“How I am supposed to know what to do? I didn’t even have supportive parents.”
“Honestly, I just feel angry and frustrated! (And then guilty for feeling so mad!)
Together, we'll help your child build the confidence and resilience they need while helping you feel more connected and supported along the way.
My approach…
Children experience the world differently than adults.
While adults often process emotions through conversation, children process through play, relationships, and connection. That's why my work is rooted in attachment-based play therapy.
During sessions, I follow your child's lead with patience, curiosity, and genuine presence. Through play, they begin communicating experiences and emotions they may not yet have words for. As therapy unfolds, those experiences begin to make sense in ways that support healing.
And I promise you won't be left wondering what's happening in the therapy room. We’ll meet regularly to discuss progress, answer your questions, and help you understand how to support your child's growth at home.
So, Why “Mighty Oaks”?
The name Mighty Oaks comes from the saying, "From little acorns, mighty oaks grow."
Like a young tree developing strong roots, healing and growth happens little by little through nurturing relationships and opportunities to grow.
My hope is to help your child build those strong roots so they can continue growing with confidence, resilience, and the knowledge that they don't have to face life's challenges alone.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
For some families, you might need a little more hands-on support than weekly therapy sessions provide. If that’s you, PCIT might be a good fit.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a structured parent coaching program that gives you real-time support as you interact with your child in your own home.
Rather than simply talking about what happened during the week, I'll coach you in the moment while you practice new skills with your child. Together, we'll strengthen your bond, build emotional regulation, develop coping skills, and help you respond to challenging behaviors with greater confidence.
Many parents tell me they've tried everything before finding PCIT. But PCIT will help you learn new ways to connect with your child that create change for your entire family that actually lasts.

I'm Kristina Robbins, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in attachment-based therapy, play therapy, trauma treatment, and parent-child relationships.
Families often tell me they appreciate that I genuinely listen to both parents and children without placing blame. I know how deeply parents love their children, and I believe you're doing the best you can with the resources you have today.
I see therapy with you and your family as a partnership.
Together, we'll help your child build the skills needed to strengthen your family's relationships and develop the resilience to handle life's challenges long after therapy ends.

Family is the most important thing to me!
I have been known to abandon all responsibility for a trip to Disneyland.
Beaches or Mountains? = Tied!

Rain or Snow? = Rain, definitely! Let’s dance!
