Robert Magnuson

Hi there! I am a LICSW with 15 years of Social Work experience. I'm an approachable professional with an open-mind who meets you where you are while pushing beyond superficial discussions. I am experienced in treating and diagnosing substance abuse disorders, mood disorders, therapy from adolescence to end of life. Through my 12 years of medical social work experience, I have supported patients and families managing chronic illnesses, chronic pain, amputations, cancer, kidney disease and end of life decisions.

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Gestalt therapy, a humanistic, experiential approach that emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and living fully in the present moment along with psychodynamic theory (past experiences, relationships and thoughts that have shaped you into your current self). Together, we'll look beyond the immediate problem to understand the whole picture of your health and well-being, identifying patterns, strengthening resilience, and developing practical strategies you can engage in everyday situations.

You can expect an inviting environment where we can build rapport, discuss current problems and organize actionable goals, setting you on a path for success.
