Robina Onwong’a
About
Whether you're seeking clarity about autism for the first time or looking to make sense of lifelong experiences, I'm here to support you with curiosity, compassion, and care. My goal is to provide a thorough evaluation that honors your unique characteristics, strengths, and lived experiences, while helping you move forward with greater understanding, self-awareness, and confidence.
I'm Dr. Robina Onwong'a. A psychologist licensed to practice in Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia, with PSYPACT authorization, which allows me to provide telehealth and temporary in-person services across participating states. I've trained and practiced as both a counseling psychologist and an organizational consulting psychologist. Across both settings, the common thread of my work has been supporting people through identity and growth so they can be and perform well.
My motivation for working with neurodivergent individuals is rooted in a commitment to understanding and advocating for people whose differences and experiences are often misunderstood and/or overlooked, and empowering them. Growing up, my own experiences of being bullied tapped into my empathy, which continues to feed my desire to help others heal and thrive.
My perspective continues to shape how I show up as a person and psychologist—with curiosity, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel understood, supported, and empowered to live a fulfilling life. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where you feel seen, heard, and understood throughout the evaluation process.
