About

Dr. Robyn Koslowitz

Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, PhD  leads a large clinical practice, The Center for Psychological Growth, in New Jersey and is a recognized thought leader on post-traumatic parenting. She has a PhD from New York University in School/Clinical Child Psychology and worked in schools on the East coast before opening her clinical practice in New Jersey in 2002. Since that time, she and her growing team have helped more than 10,000 children and their parents, educators, caregivers, and child protective services personnel. 

This vast and varied experience with so many diverse situations led her to develop her trademarked Post-Traumatic Parenting process.

It is her life’s work to help people develop the skills and resilience they need to break the cycle of their own traumatic past – so they can help to create a healthier, happier, more wholesome environment for the children they care for.

Dr. K’s entire body of work revolves around answering this vital question:  “How can I give kids a normal childhood, when mine was anything but normal?” She helps parents break the cycles that almost broke them, to become the parents they’ve always dreamed of being.
