Robert Szczepanski

Before I started working with Robert, I’d done nearly a decade of talk therapy and had tried a dozen-plus psychiatric medications, and while some of it was useful at times, the truth is, it hadn’t left me feeling much better, and definitely not “good.” Depression, anxiety, depersonalization, OCD tendencies, and suicidal ideation were mainstays (and not unexpected, given a childhood of religious trauma and emotionally unavailable parents).

Then, in July 2020, my psychiatrist, seeing that I wasn’t getting anywhere with his help, kindly referred me to Robert. Now, after 9 months of work with Robert, I can truly say I feel better than I ever have as an adult (I’m 40). Robert will be the first to tell you that the work isn’t a silver bullet, but my depression is mostly gone, my anxiety is manageable, and, crucially, I feel grounded in my body for the first time. My wife says the difference between me before working with Robert and me after is “night and day.”

In the course of less than a year, my sessions with Robert have gone from being centered on my depression and feelings of meaninglessness to, now, how to navigate incredible new career opportunities that have begun to present themselves.

As a therapist, Robert is highly professional, practical, warm, insightful, and funny; my only regret is not working with him sooner.
