About Dr. Robbins

Hi! I’m Dr. Rupa Robbins. Welcome to Tech Positive Parenting.

I’m a child psychologist based in the Bay Area. Over the last decade, I have worked with hundreds of children and families in my roles as a psychologist and an educator. Through countless conversations with parents, I have realized that managing technology in our children’s lives is one of the greatest parenting challenges of our time. I founded Tech Positive Parenting to educate parents about child and teen tech use and to provide actionable tools to help your family thrive in today’s techy world. I’m so glad you’re here!

A few facts about me:

  • I founded and work at a private practice in Los Gatos, California called Spark Psychology. I conduct neuropsychological evaluations, see children and teens in therapy, and provide parent consultations.

  • I received my B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University and my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from UC Berkeley.

  • I have worked as a 3rd grade teacher and a school psychologist in the past.

  • Throughout graduate school, I worked at a children’s media consulting group, where I reviewed original content for streaming platforms.

  • I live with my husband, two young daughters, and dog in the Bay Area. In my spare time, I love to hike, read, and cook.
