Robert Mapes

My communication style

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your story freely. We work collaboratively, honoring your past while focusing on future-oriented growth. I appreciate your individual uniqueness and want you to feel comfortable as we explore what has shaped you and what you need to move forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path included the military, business ownership, and other ventures before I realized I wanted to help people navigate life's struggles. I moved from ministry into psychology and counseling, drawn to the mental and emotional aspects of the human experience. I've practiced therapy and taught at the university level for many years.

My goals for you

We'll collaboratively set goals that address dysfunctional thoughts, behaviors, and emotional distress. I help you understand your experience and use your own skills and resources to grow. Everyone is unique, so I select treatment strategies that fit you specifically rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our first session

We'll explore your current psychological and emotional issues and what brought you to therapy now. I want you to leave with hope that positive changes are possible. We'll discuss what you want to be different and assess whether we have a good working relationship. The first session helps you determine if we're the right fit.
