Robert is a true professional! I’ve never felt comfortable being in a therapy session but my first discussion with Robert went great and I felt completely at ease. Robert is very knowledgeable and shares what he knows in the way you ask for it, me being an IT guy, I’ve always been very process-results driven and Robert had a load of analogies and teaching methods that helped me make sense of behavioral traits and ideologies and how to apply them to help me make fundamental shifts in my way of thinking and approach to life. I would recommend Robert to absolutely ANYONE, he has been absolutely fantastic to work with.

Hi there! My name is Rob, and my passion is empowering people to transform their lives. I have over a decade of experience caring for people in settings like an outpatient clinic and hospital ER. People who know me and have worked with me would describe me as a warm, funny, skilled, and hardworking counselor who gets results. I have advanced training in several therapy modalities to help better facilitate your breakthrough. I draw on holistic and physical health based strategies to promote comprehensive growth and healing. When I am not helping people, I like to go to concerts, train for triathlons, and spend time with my family and pets.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
