My name is Randi Platt, M.Ed. and I am the Executive Director and co-founder of Hornstein, Platt and Associates. I have been a Psychotherapist for over 25 years helping clients in the Philadelphia area. While maintaining a broad practice treating common concerns like Depression, Grief, Anxiety, Stress and relationship struggles, i specialize in working with couples, those in the LGBT community, people in recovery, those coping with Bi-polar disorder and individuals having difficulty managing their money.
I view the process of therapy as a partnership: you are the expert in the details of your life experience and I offer expertise in the process of change. I am active and engaging while working to create an atmosphere of safety and trust where you can reveal your concerns at your own pace. Clients have often told me that I am very direct in gentle ways. This has led to their common experience of being surprised by their level of comfort, sharing and insight. I also have a very practical focus, which includes translating pain into understandable causes, and growth into a clear set of action steps. Lastly, my experiences and sense of humor are included in the therapy I provide. These factors have been found to be important in forming healing connections, and which I hope you will enjoy.
I am Robin Hornstein, Ph.D, and I have been a Licensed Psychologist and counselor for over 26 years. Prior to that I earned a degree in Early Childhood Education and worked with young children. Earning a doctorate from the Counseling Psychology program at Temple University, I spent many years serving clients in recovery before entering private practice. Wanting to contribute to the Delaware Valley community in a more significant way, I co-founded Hornstein, Platt and Associates where I have been the Clinical Director, focusing on matching clients with therapists who will best meet their needs.
 I view my work with clients as collaborative with the goal being for you to develop into the most full self you can become. Enhancing skills and strengths that are already present and breaking old patterns by experimentation is the foundation of the work I provide. Having trained in a number of therapies, I use an eclectic range of tools based on what you, my client/collaborator and I think will work. Poetry, art, music, meditation, talk therapy and other styles of treatment may be included in the therapy. While I maintain a general practice, my specialties include Eating Disorders, Fertility Issues, Parenting and Anxiety.
In addition to private practice, I enjoy conducting training and supervision, and have been quoted in magazines and newspapers, participated in panels on television and radio, and write a blog (http://robinhornstein.typepad.com/ )that focuses on modern issues in mental health. Finding ways to increase success in personal, relational, financial and physical arenas, I would be honored to assist you in a mental health "make-over" that helps you find your voice and power.
