Meet Dr. Park and Michelle
At Sparrow Psychological Services, we work together to remove barriers between you and the care you need!
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, Board Certified
Robin Park, MD
Dr Park treats children and adolescents, as well as adults with psychiatric and medical conditions. These conditions include (but are not limited to) Abuse, ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Asperger’s, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Down’s Syndrome, Eating Disorders, Mood Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), PTSD, and Self-Harm.
Dr Park’s practice focuses primarily on the medications for these disorders – we do not necessarily do therapy or counseling. Dr Park and her team do believe in the importance of therapy, and most of our patients have a therapist or counselor that they see on a regular basis. In addition, Educational Testing is very valuable in the treatment process, and Dr. Park will help you determine if that testing would be valuable for your child or teen.
Currently, in addition to her private practice, Dr. Park also treats children & teens at Jewish Family Services. The JFS is funded through a grant from the St. Louis County Children’s Fund. Dr Park sees patients there each week.
Dr Park completed her undergraduate work at Baylor University and graduated from Baylor College of Medicine. Robin completed her adult residency at Baylor College of Medicine and her Residency in Children and Adolescents at St. Louis University School of Medicine. Dr Park served as Director of Medical Student Education in the Department of Psychiatry at St. Louis University School of Medicine for 15 years. As director, she taught medical students in all four years of their education. There she administrated the inpatient, outpatient, consultant and liason care for St. Louis University Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.
Following her time at SLU, Dr. Park opened her private practice, Sparrow Psychological Services.
Dr Park has three grown children – and a cat named Ozzie. When she is not being a doctor you will find her making pottery, taking Polish lessons, and traveling. She loves a good adventure – and loves having fun!
Dr Park truly cares about her patients and enjoys seeing them become whole, healthy and successful in all their endeavors.
Be sure to check out Dr. Park’s YouTube channel – she is always trying to find new and funny ways to tackle the hard issues in life.
Office Manager
Michelle Wilkinson
Michelle Wilkinson has been teaming up with Dr Park for more than a decade as the office manager for Sparrow Psychological Services.
Our patients joke that she and Dr. Park are like Batman and Robin or good cop/bad cop. We just won’t tell you who is who!
Michelle has gained a wealth of knowledge in her years working with Dr. Park – she is your resource for questions and solutions for prescription issues, prior authorizations, insurance issues, and any other challenges you may have navigating the mental health world. We know this road is hard, and if Michelle can pick up the pieces or cheer you along – then that is her role! Michelle is also working super hard to keep us up-to-date on new technologies and ways to make communication between you and us even better!
When she is not at the helm of the Sparrow ship, you’ll find her with her two grown daughters, their cat Milly, or card/tag making. She is a closet introvert, so she might just be sitting back and being quiet.
