Robert Newman, LCSW

I was trained in Behavior Therapies with a strong background in humanistic approaches. My therapeutic toolbox also includes breathing techniques, energy work, and meditation.  I use approaches customized for each client. My diverse background allows me to see each person as a unique individual without labels and traditional diagnosis. I design customized learning and therapy programs for each person's needs. I work extensively with the masculine and feminine energies within us and between us, providing practical tools to first honor then release old patterns that no longer serve us. My philosophy is summarized in what I call the Soul Directed Life, an approach that reveals, inspires and supports personal, professional, relational and spiritual growth allowing the authentic self to give its highest gift to the world. My work with couples helps transform a relationship into a Thriving-level relationship, including specific communication and sensual practices that puts each partner in service to the other at the highest levels of mutual support, understanding and love.  I also have a specialty in phobia, panic and anxiety disorders. My connections to the religious, non-religious and spiritual communities gives me a unique ability to communicate from each person's perspective and value system. I am familiar with sacred medicine, energy work and shamanic practices.
