Robert A. Friedrich, LCSW, SEP
HE / HIM
I’m a psychotherapist with twenty years of clinical experience. I have training in relational psychoanalysis, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing (SE), SE Touch, and other approaches.
In addition to offering a concerned, attuned presence I incorporate specific methods for increasing your awareness of your sensations (embodiment) with the intention of increasing your ability to be present, have a fuller emotional and social life, and/or recover from overwhelming experience. This process can also include making connections between your past experiences and present situation which can often help with how you feel about yourself.
Life is ultimately with people. Nothing affects us more than our relationships with others, and that includes the relationship we establish together.
My style as a therapist is active and engaged. In addition to offering a concerned, attuned presence, I incorporate specific methods for increasing your awareness of how your physiology and your history is involved with shaping your experience.
I also stress the importance of understanding relationships, past and present, which can help you make connections that change how you feel about yourself and your circumstances.
My goal is to help you feel more resilient, enlivened, and hopeful, and to help you like yourself more while feeling more comfortable with other people. Helping people experience improvement and relief is immensely satisfying for me.
Taking the first step can be hard. Reach out to schedule a consultation, and we’ll take it from there.
