Bridging the worlds of psychology and creativity, I provide compassionate and effective psychotherapy for you, utilizing special techniques of mindfulness and imagery developed over 40 years that connect you to your creative, spiritual self. Reducing anxiety and alleviating depression requires accurate identification of issues, seamlessly integrated with an analytic understanding, in order to find inner control of the root emotions that cause moods and behaviors. Understanding you fully, I will help you identify the forces creating conflict and help you resolve them and find peace.  Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? You know something's wrong but don't know what it is...I can help....I have over 40 years of experience passionately helping people understand their emotions and thoughts, with tried and true techniques that have been proven successful! I provide psychotherapy for adults, children, and individuals with special needs, trauma, and autism (ASD), with a specialty working with children experiencing challenges to their mental health, such as adoption, divorce, and grief. My unique approach utilizes both verbal and creative imaging techniques. This combination is particularly effective with both adults and children of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, socialization, focus, and concentration. For children and individuals with ASD and any intellectual disability (ID), I help release pent-up frustrations while teaching the language of emotions, leading to self-control and self-regulation. This opens the door to modeling appropriate interpersonal communication skills, which can then be utilized in the larger environment of everyday life.

I work toward supporting individual and collective liberation using anti-oppressive frameworks in therapy and supervision. I work with humans who recognize their own agency in their healing processes. I engage with people across different intersections of their identities that impact their lived experiences. By deepening our insights around the patterns, values, and narratives we hold about ourselves, and the systems and relationships we inhabit, we move toward greater understanding and compassion for ourselves and others. I offer a warm, compassionate, direct, engaged, and curious presence. As a licensed, trauma-informed counselor educator and supervisor, I bring expertise in theory, critical and deconstructed application of counseling paradigms, and cutting-edge research translated into effective individual and systemic interventions to support people in their journey toward authenticity, acceptance, and vitality. My approach supports the ongoing processes of becoming and belonging, deepening insight, learning to attune to our own inherent wisdom, and gently welcoming even the parts of ourselves that have felt challenging or unwanted. Despite the messages many of us have received, I believe we each carry deep intelligence, resilience, and creative possibilities for growth. I believe that when we take committed action aligned with our values, meaningful change becomes both visible and felt. I aim to meet you where you are and to collaboratively create a map that supports your growth in therapy and in supervision. My work is rooted in relational-cultural, attachment-based, transfeminist, and experiential approaches. This means I understand healing as something that happens in relationship, and I trust the present moment as a rich source of information and opportunity. Often, growth asks us to slow down, tune in, and sit with ourselves long enough for new possibilities to emerge. I hold each person as complex and interconnected, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and in community. I openly acknowledge the impact of systems of domination, including white supremacy, racism, transphobia, misogyny, classism, ableism, and fatphobia, on individual well-being and access to care. I believe ethical and competent counseling and supervision require ongoing reflection, accountability, and learning. I commit to this through my own supervision, consultation, training, and continuing education. In my role as a clinical supervisor, I integrate an intersectional and transfeminist framework alongside the integrative developmental model (IDM) to support counselors at all stages of development. My practice is eclectic, rooted in somatic, relational, attachment, experiential, and transfeminist therapies. I have been trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) levels 1 and 2 for over five years, and I have completed basic exposure and response prevention (ERP) training. I believe we heal in relationship and through connection. I also enjoy offering clinical supervision and consultation.

In my over 25 years of experience in offering psychotherapy to individuals, families and couples, I have seen, time and time again, the inherent ability each person has for healing and change that can be stimulated and helped through therapy.

My name is Robert Wilson, LMHC, and I am a clinical counselor and ordained pastor. I have served as a pastor and was elected to serve as chaplain to the police and fire departments of Dighton-Rehoboth, as well as a counselor to the town’s board of selectmen. Before I answered the call of God, I owned and ran an investment company in the city of Providence for many years. My experience on both sides of the counseling relationship, as both a counselor and a counselee, has helped me develop a unique counseling method that synthesizes empathy, education, experience, and excellence. I am personally vested in my clients and treat each with dignity, compassion, value, and esteem. Because each client is a unique individual, I cater treatment plans accordingly. My motivation is to help people become emotionally healthy individuals, to develop into the best possible version of themselves. I help them think better, so that they can live better.

Imagine you’re at the point where things aren’t completely falling apart, but you know something isn’t working the way it should. You’re handling responsibilities, showing up for work, your family, and the people who depend on you. On the outside, things look fine. But internally, you might feel stuck in the same arguments, the same stress, or the same patterns that keep repeating, no matter how hard you try to handle them on your own. You may be the kind of person who usually figures things out yourself. You push forward, solve problems, and keep things moving. But when it comes to communication in your relationship, managing stress, or navigating a major transition, it can feel like you’re running the same play over and over and getting the same result. That’s often when people reach out. My role is to help you slow things down and make sense of what’s actually happening underneath the surface. In our work together, we focus less on venting and more on understanding patterns, improving communication, and building practical strategies that you can apply in real life. If you come in as a couple, I help both of you step out of the cycle you’re stuck in so you can actually hear each other and move the conversation forward. If you come in individually, we focus on identifying what’s keeping you stuck and developing clear, actionable ways to change it. My style is active, structured, and solution-focused. I ask direct questions, offer clear feedback, and help you translate insight into real change. The goal isn’t just to talk about problems. The goal is to help you move forward with more clarity, better communication, and practical tools you can use outside the therapy room. If you’re motivated to do the work and ready to approach things differently, therapy can be a powerful place to reset patterns and start building something healthier going forward.
