Hello, I am Robert Kirby, a clinical social worker. I've worked as a clinician in the mental health field since 2001 and became a licensed clinician in 2003. Over the years, I've worked as a clinical social worker (therapist) in medical care practices, in in-patient programs for drug rehab and psychiatric care, and as a therapist for elderly clients in nursing homes, as well as with families whose loved ones are in hospice care. I believe everyone has the ability to achieve their goals with the right help and the willingness to work at it. Taking that first step toward change is the hardest step to make.
When choosing a therapist, think about what you're looking for. I challenge you to think in new ways, like asking questions about your questions or playing devil's advocate. If you're up for a challenge, I'll support your work toward your goals. Each client connects differently, so I use varied techniques in session and homework to help therapy succeed.
Working with me will bring you the success you want, as long as you're doing the work needed too. No success is achieved without hard work. I look forward to being your guiding hand as you move through the process of your therapeutic work.

I specialize in partnering with adults and teenagers ages 14 and up navigating life transitions, anxiety, grief, substance use, trauma, and self-esteem.

Whether you are seeking relief from a harsh inner critic, trying to process heavy life changes, or looking for practical ways to manage your mental health, my goal is to help you build lasting, positive growth.
My style is down-to-earth and focused on real results using CBT, DBT, MI, narrative, strength-based, and solution-focused strategies. I offer a warm space to be yourself while keeping you focused on your goals. I can seamlessly incorporate a faith-based perspective for clients who desire it, always completely respecting your personal journey.
No matter how fast-paced or overwhelming life feels right now, you do not have to figure it out all on your own. Your feelings are valid, and meaningful change is entirely possible. I invite you to take the next step toward your healing and happiness by scheduling an appointment with me today; I look forward to working alongside you.

Whether it is a substance or process addiction, each case can be examined with the help of a professional therapist who can guide individuals through the difficulties that come with their addiction. Some reasons for addictions include:
Most abused drugs produce magnified feelings of pleasure. The initial sensation of euphoria is followed by other effects that are different depending on the type of substance used. Stimulants, such as cocaine, produce a “high” that is followed by feelings of power, self-confidence and increased energy.
2. To feel better.
Many people who suffer from social anxiety, stress-related disorders, and depression begin using drugs to lessen their distressing feelings. Stress can play a big role in drug use–in the beginning, in continuing, and in relapsing patients recovering from addiction.
Drug abuse occurs in all sports and at most levels of competition. Athletes may turn to drugs for various reasons, including performance enhancement, to self-treat otherwise untreated mental illness and to deal with stressors, such as pressure to perform, injuries, physical pain and retirement from the sport. These various pressures can lead to initial experimentation and move to continued use of drugs, such as prescription stimulants or steroids.
