Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I'm so happy that you reached out for help. I am Robert Nwanganga, a licensed therapist. I have been a Social Worker since 2003. I also need to let you know that I am more interested in finding out why a certain behavior is occurring than I am in demonizing you for exhibiting the behavior.

I also need to let you know that I am more interested in finding out why a certain behavior is occurring than I am in demonizing you for exhibiting the behavior.

I have worked with a diverse populations and I have learned that therapy has to be personal if it is to be effective. I am committed to working with you in finding what modality works with your personality and focus on your strength in dealing with the situation that brought you to us.

First session

My Goal on the first session will be to understand why you are here and what you want to accomplish by being in therapy. I will explain how therapy will work, the reasons I ask the questions I ask. I want to help you realize that therapy with me will be a collaborative experience.

Strengths

I love to listen to you and understand your point of view. I don't have an agenda except yours.

Ideal clients

I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. I also enjoy working with people dealing with life transition such as parenting, divorce among other things. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their current stage in life

I utilize Christian principles in therapy to deal with issues of life transition, parenting among other issues.
