Hello: I am Robert Sawicky, a licensed psychologist. I have many years of experience assisting with the challenges of making a successful marriage and addressing the issues of depression, anxiety, social phobias, self-esteem, and multiple varieties of shameful self-sabotage. My therapeutic orientation is client-centered, eclectic, and very collaborative - utilizing an individualized approach to foster personal empowerment, self-trust, and enhanced self-acceptance. After all, relationships with others are extensions of the relationship we are having with ourselves.

I believe taking the necessary time to provide attention to yourself takes courage. We have become too good at distracting ourselves with the every day demands of life and do not take time to nurture our own needs.

I have experience working with many adults, young adults, and children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and life transitions. By allowing me to help you trust the process of therapy we can work on what your needs may be. When we listen wholeheartedly without judgment, we can become aware and attempt to understand what someone may be feeling. The value of helping others can also give someone hope that there is something to look forward to. That's what drives me toward empathy and compassion.

Braving the unsteady waters of healing is an act of self-love. I believe in the transformative power of turning our attention inward to shed light on all parts of self—the beautiful, the “ugly,” the shameful, the resilient. From my experience as both a therapist and a fellow human on this path, I have witnessed the profound power of allowing yourself to be seen, truly seen, in the presence of another. It is my commitment to work together to create an environment where you feel safe, honored, and sacred. This is where our “heart-work” begins.

Have you been struggling in your relationships? Or perhaps feeling sexual shame or difficulties in your sex life? Maybe you're tired of dealing with intimacy issues and feeling disconnected with your partner, and you are now ready to make some positive changes. You're at the right place. I'm an Asian-American sex therapist passionate about helping individuals gain sexual confidence within yourself and in your relationships.

Sometimes it's time to make a change and deepen our understanding of ourselves and others.
