During this difficult time, CWPA therapists want you to know that we are continuing to provide psychological services and support by video conference. The physical separation required by "social distancing" does not need to equate to being psychologically distant. During the pandemic, it is important for our mental health to be as psychologically connected as possible to help ameliorate the strain of necessary physical separation.
Consider calling or video conferencing with neighbors, friends or family once or twice a day. Include conversation about subjects other than the pandemic. While it's fine to ask, "How are you doing?." talk about other subjects as well: TV programs you are watching, a book you like or recall pleasant memories from the past.

I believe that people have the innate potential to live emotionally satisfying lives and to experience fulfillment in their work, study, relationships and recreation. I have an interactive style using both brief or depth psychotherapy which is both challenging and compassionate. I work with a broad array of persons from diverse backgrounds.
I believe that my job as a psychotherapist is to help each person become more fully themselves and more authentic in their relationships. Part of the way that is accomplished is to provide a safe psychotherapeutic environment so that the healing process can unfold. I bring to the therapeutic relationship respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard for each client.
The theory of C.G. Jung strongly guides my practice. Jungian Analysis is by nature unique for each individual who enters it. No one set of techniques or methods works for every patient or "analysand." Jung postulated the existence of the collective unconscious, a layer of personality older and deeper than that of any one individual's experience.
As a physician who specializes in adult psychiatry, I see patients/clients from college age to the elderly. I enjoy doing psychotherapy and may, as helpful or appropriate for an individual's care, also prescribe and oversee psychiatric medication management. Whenever possible, I believe the doctor-patient relationship to be a collaborative, respectful, honest, and exploratory one that occurs within a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.
I have over twenty years experience as a psychotherapist working in private practice. I have also been a practicing acupuncturist for over thirty years. Working as a practitioner, teacher and clinical supervisor in both these fields, I have experienced and have respect for the dynamics involved in balancing the energies of heart, mind, and body in the service of improving my patients' quality of life.

I have referred a number of clients to Bob and have received uniformly positive feedback on his approach and the results he is able to achieve. Particularly noted have been his intelligence, his compassion, and his insights. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bob and his practice to anyone seeking therapy.

I have been a client of Bobs for over 15 years. Bob’s approach and ability to adapt his approach to my needs on my psychological journey changed my life. When I started with him I thought of myself as a victim and with his guidance have become a strong individual. His listening skills and compassion make working with him a safe environment to deal with problems. I recommend him and his practice to anyone seeking therapy.
