Robert Lynch, Ph.D, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (he/him)
Robert believes that therapy is a space where healing begins through openness, curiosity, and a willingness to see yourself with new eyes. He strives to create an environment that feels safe, collaborative, and judgment-free, where humor and honesty can coexist with growth and self-reflection.
Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches, Robert helps clients develop a deeper awareness of the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that shape how they move through the world. His style blends insight and practicality, helping clients build emotional awareness while learning tools they can use daily.
Robert has experience working with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. His work is informed by research on spirituality and Buddhist concepts, exploring how meaning-making and self-compassion can support long-term wellbeing.
He understands that starting therapy can feel daunting, but believes that real change begins with small, consistent steps toward self-understanding. His goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and empowered in their own growth both in and outside the therapy room.
