Therapists in Sacramento, CA

My name is Robert (Bob) Hirsch, and I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I have been in practice for 25 years and have worked with adults primarily from many communities. My overall approach involves cognitive behavioral therapy combined with coaching techniques. I see therapy as a dialogue - supporting people in the direction they want to pursue. I work with adults both in the straight and LGBTQ communities and have a lot of cross-cultural experience.

Life has its measure of joys and sorrows. In our modern society, it’s all too easy for the ‘sorrows’—stress and unhappiness—to outweigh the ‘joys’ in our lives. Maybe it’s our situation at home or an unfulfilling relationship. Perhaps our health took a downward turn or we lost our sense of purpose in a meaningless job. Life can place mountains in our path and our old ways of coping often stop working. But no matter how lost we feel in the bramble, we are capable of untangling ourselves and finding our way back to the light—to peace.

I enjoy working with clients around themes of depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship/couples therapy, LGBT concerns, polyamory, kink/bdsm concerns, transgender and non-binary concerns, substance abuse, and codependency. I am licensed in California, New York and Washington States, as well as having the Florida Telehealth registration. I am passionate about social justice causes in both my professional and volunteer pursuits.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

My general frame work is that you cannot separate the body from the mind nor can you separate a person from their life time of experiences, therefore working with all of these systems is a highly effective way to improve happiness, decrease anxiety and stress, and increase coping skills to manage life with more ease and improved relationships. Now offering emergency Intensive Couples Counseling!

I don't have a specific client that is "ideal" as every client has their own unique history and backstory. I definitely look forward to meeting with people who are interested in self-growth but I also enjoy helping people get to the point to where the may be ready to work on their self-growth. If you are reading this, you would probably be the ideal client since you have taken the first step in just having that thought in your head about maybe it is time to give yourself the love you give to others and focusing on yourself.

I have helped hundreds of clients overcome or manage a variety of life stressors. I work diligently with each client to help him or her achieve their own personal therapeutic goals.

Welcome. Are you ready for the work necessary to make real, enduring change? Do you have a troubling personal issue or suffer from general dissatisfaction? My orientation is to focus on the unconscious, the elusive essence of the problem. A powerful process unfolds when change occurs at this level of the mind. This opens the space for authentic personal transformation.

I strive to facilitate a reflective and explorative environment where the unbearable can be held and truth can be spoken. Multicultural and bilingual elements of my identity, and a history of enduring ethnic discrimination and immigration, significantly inform how I listen to my clients, think through trauma and fragmentation with them. Unconscious repetitions of aversion, clinging, and reenactments of familiar/familial ways of being bind us in suffering. Through psychotherapy, rigid frames of being can be deconstructed and psychological space can be reclaimed for creativity, desire and becoming.
