Hi! I'm Bob Beverley and I am a full-time psychotherapist who has become tired of all the self-help talk, religious jargon, academic theorizing, and new age viewpoints that show no respect for real people, their problems, and how hard their lives are. With an emphasis on wisdom, I want to help you reach your dreams, avoid some of the foolish pitfalls of life, and help you through those pitfalls if you do fall into them. I've created “The Sharp Club” for you. The club is designed to help you look after your own life so that you can be as sharp as you need to be- with yourself, for yourself, and with and for others.

A successful therapeutic relationship will be supportive, empowering, positive, but also difficult, at times uncomfortable, and often challenging. We rarely find ourselves seeking therapy when everything is comfortable and going well; instead, we are feeling helpless, unlovable, angry, isolated, and stuck in situations without solutions. Things that once made sense no longer do, we are confused, fearful, and just want to feel better. Imagine not feeling so afraid, understanding how/where your thoughts come from, or just simply being able to be happy; these are the expectations of our work together.

Psychotherapy should be collaborative, and able to adapt to the individual seeking treatment rather than demanding that the person fit some Procrustean bed of preconceived theory. My approach emphasizes individually tailored solutions that build on a person's strengths and makes creative use of their so-called weaknesses, i.e. it is competency based rather than pathology oriented. There is a strong effort to integrate mind, body, and spirit and to utilize both conscious and unconscious resources.

We provide a safe, private, and non-judgmental space, allowing clients the freedom to express themselves. It also important to understand that enlisting help is a sign of strength as it takes a tough person to admit when they need the support of a mental health professional.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
