Robert Edwards

Skills:

• Active listening

• Empathic approach

• Providing space for clients to explore presenting concerns

• Work alongside clients to establish measurable and attainable goals

• Work with clients to build strength and resilience

Approach:

I believe that all people deserve the opportunity to find happiness in their lives, despite their challenges. I am a believer that all people have the capacity to find inner strength. It is my hope that we can work together to find a belief and love in ourselves that can support growth towards a better life. Let’s work to pull away the things that cloud our ability to see the great things we are all capable of doing. I will work with my clients utilizing a strengths-based and culturally aware perspective to learn about and from the individual. I strive to meet the client from where they are at in their life and allow them to set the tempo and establish their own individualized and personal goals.

About me:

In my free time, I love hiking, camping and all things outdoors. I try to attend live music and sporting events as much as possible and I am always looking to find new cities and place to travel to.
