Hello! My name is Robert Whitekettle, I have a master degree in social work and I am a licensed clinical social worker, as well as a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor, with nearly 15 years experience. I specialize in treating individual challenges with managing mood, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. I have experience offering therapeutic support to children, teenagers and adults. I also have experience in engaging in therapeutic support for couples and family counseling.
People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or unsure whether medication is the right next step.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pennington
Finding the right therapist in Pennington, NJ starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life transitions — and whether you prefer in-person sessions locally or virtual appointments from home. Pennington is a small community in Mercer County, so expanding your search to include nearby areas like Princeton, Ewing, and Lawrenceville can give you access to a broader range of licensed providers, including psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and psychiatrists.
Beyond specialty and location, it helps to look at a provider's background and approach before booking. Reading a detailed bio can tell you about their training, the types of therapy they practice — such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — and what a session with them looks like. A free phone consultation, when available, is another way to see if a provider feels like a good match before committing.
Therapy in the Pennington area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit, though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
