Dr. Weston Robins is the President and Founder of Eternal Strength, a unique community youth center with a mental health holistic focus that opened its doors in March 2020.
Based in Alpharetta, Eternal Strength is, first and foremost, an alternative healing environment for youth. It is a recreation center, music performance and recording room, ceramics room, video game and recreation area with a full gym, and outdoor space offering transformative therapies that are deeply relational and humanistic. Rooted in his personal experiences with addiction, substance abuse, arrests, and emotional turmoil, Wes’s personal journey would lay the foundation for his mission to help young people who were maneuvering similar life challenges.
"I have been married to my amazing wife Alison for fourteen years and we have two beautiful daughters. Story is 10 years old and River is 7," says Dr. Wes. His wife and daughters are his world and the most important people in his life. "My wife Alison is my grounding force and rock in all I do," says Dr. Wes. "She offers patience, insight and support in all my pursuits. I could write for eternity on the importance of my family!"
Eternal Strength is deeply relational and humanistic in their mentoring and counseling work. "We really tap into each youth that comes to the center to find out what drives them, what art they love, what mediums they gravitate toward," says Dr. Wes. The team of talented therapists at the Center begin to build each individual therapeutic journey in ways that are co-collaborative, from songwriting, recording, drawing, painting, ceramics and many other forms of expressive arts therapy, i.e. dancing, poetry, spoken word. "Anything expressive and seeing ways that we can offer sacred space for youth to explore, create and process!"
