Rebecca Volino Robinson is a licensed psychologist who earned her Ph.D. in clinical-community psychology at the University of Alaska Anchorage. She has over a decade of experience practicing in tribal health, refugee resettlement, and primary care settings in Alaska. In her current role, she serves as the Director of Behavioral Health at the Alaska Family Medicine Residency and the Training Director for the Alaska Psychology Internship Consortium. With gratitude, Dr. Robinson plays a vital role in shaping Alaska’s next generation of healthcare professionals.
Dr. Robinson’s clinical practice is focused on helping individuals lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. She specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and is a therapeutic yoga teacher. Her approach integrates ACT with yoga-based practices—such as movement, breath, and focused attention—to assist her patients in achieving their health and wellness goals. Dr. Robinson particularly enjoys working with individuals dealing with acute and chronic stress, psychological trauma, addiction, chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes, and those experiencing physical pain. As a passionate educator, Dr. Robinson welcomes the opportunity to train others interested in incorporating mind-body practices into their healthcare approach.
On a personal note, Dr. Robinson’s favorite food is dark chocolate. She finds joy in taking long walks in the Alaskan wilderness with her dog and husband, tending to houseplants, and traveling. She has visited all 50 United States and twelve countries and is working her way to each of the original “blue zones” worldwide. Her guiding principle is to “show up” to life with love, compassion, and a dash of humor, no matter what life presents.
