What Rob Does for You—Even If You Never Meet Him
- Builds community bridges. You’ll spot him at local physician lunches, HR roundtables, and university wellness fairs—spreading the word that quality mental-health care lives right here in the Lowcountry.
- Elevates our therapists. Rob organizes peer consult groups, sources top-tier trainings, and makes sure every clinician gets the support they need to stay at the top of their game.
Why His Expertise Still Matters to You
Although Rob does not see clients here, his years of direct work with adults and couples helps to shape the way our entire team approaches anxiety, complex trauma, and relationship distress.
In short: the therapist you meet has already benefited from his depth of knowledge.
