Robic’s Cube Counselling & Supports

Counselling, Critical Incident Debriefing, Mental Health & Social Work Support

Welcome to Robic’s Cube Counselling & Supports

Hello and thank you for visiting. I’m Lisa Robic—Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Firefighter, and the founder of Robic’s Cube Counselling & Supports. I’m truly glad you’re here and taking this step to learn more about the work I do and the support I offer.

I’d like to begin by respectfully acknowledging that I live, work, and play on the traditional, unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation, in Princeton and the surrounding areas. Since relocating here in 2017, I’ve grown to deeply value the strength, spirit, and sense of community that define this region. Life in the Similkameen Valley is grounded, meaningful, and rich in natural beauty—qualities that align closely with my personal values and the heart of my practice.

With years of experience supporting individuals and families in rural settings, I understand how vital trust, privacy, and a sense of safety are in a therapeutic space. My goal is to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported—where you can be your full self without fear of judgment. I believe that everyone has inner strength and resilience, and my role is to help you reconnect with those parts of yourself so that you can heal and thrive.

Accessibility is a cornerstone of my practice. I offer reduced rates for those on Income Assistance, Disability, seniors, and others with limited income. I also partner with a number of publicly funded programs and employee assistance plans to help cover the cost of sessions. Whether you'd prefer to meet in person in Princeton, virtually across BC, Alberta, & Ontario, or—in some cases—in the comfort of your own home, I strive to meet you where you are, both literally and emotionally.

Please take your time exploring the website to learn more about the services I offer. If you have any questions or would like to connect, I’d love to hear from you.

Warmly,

Lisa Robic, MSW, RSW, CTTS

TURNING THE CUBE COPING SKILLS SOCIAL MEDIA SERIES

Different sides. Practical skills. One turn at a time. At Robic’s Cube Counselling & Support, I view emotional well-being as multi-dimensional. Like a cube, different sides need attention at different times. Turning the Cube is a weekly coping skills series grounded in DBT and trauma-informed, evidence-based practice. Each week, I highlight one practical skill—a single, intentional “turn”—to support awareness, regulation, connection, and resilience. Across this series, you’ll see skills related to: • Mindfulness • Distress Tolerance • Emotion Regulation • Interpersonal Effectiveness • Trauma & Body-based • Values and Meaning. If you’d like to see each week’s coping skill, you’re welcome to follow Robic’s Cube Counselling & Support on Facebook & Instagram as new skills are shared. Note: These posts are shared for general educational purposes and are not a substitute for counselling, therapy, or crisis support. Skills are offered as tools, not solutions, and may or may not be a fit for everyone.

Not why the addiction, but why the pain.

Acceptance is the only way out of hell.

Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.

Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; it's choosing what's right over what's fun, fast, or easy; and it's practicing your values, not just professing them.

True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.

Marsha M. Linehan
Psychologist, creator of DBT, drawing on her lived experience with BPD.

It is hard to be happy without a life worth living. This is a fundamental tenet of DBT. Of course, all lives are worth living in reality. No life is not worth living. But what is important is that you experience your life as worth living – one that is satisfying, and one that brings happiness.
