About me

Hi! My name is Rob Beckett. I have worked with teens my entire professional career. I began working with adolescents early on in a residential treatment facility as a mental health technician while I acquired my Masters in Professional Counseling (LPC). I then worked as a clinical therapist in the same setting for several more years. While completing my Masters degree I also interned as a high school guidance counselor. Approximately four years ago I transitioned to a new position as a Guidance Counselor at a public middle school. Additionally, I am a contractual therapist with a private practice in my hometown and have several teen and pre-teen clients. I hold licenses with the state of Michigan for both professional counseling (LPC) and school counseling (K-12 NT).

I have extensive experience working with adolescent clients. The types of issues I have dealt with range from family/parenting issues, peer issues, bullying, substance abuse, LGBTQ populations, abuse, rape, ADHD, medical disabilities, depression, suicide, self harm, etc.

Rob is fantastic! He understands me so well and is always there to support and guide me through all my struggles. He makes sure to take the time and write detailed responses, which is what I love and was exactly the type of counseling style that I was looking for. In addition, he always responds in a timely manner and is always there whenever you need him. I always look forward to his responses because his words provide so much comfort! I am sure he is one of the best counselors out there and I feel so lucky to have him as my counselor!

Deciding you want to start counseling is not always an easy decision. Talking about yourself and your feelings and sharing your most inner thoughts can be an awkward experience. RJ knew how to make me comfortable from the get go and he has been a great support to have. After just a few sessions, sharing my experiences and thoughts with him is almost natural and he has provided with excellent advice, pointers and pushed me to explore other avenues of thoughts.

I’m so grateful that I have someone who genuinely just wants to support me in whatever this journey has to offer. Robert has an instinct on how to navigate when to ask me questions and when to listen. Robert’s nonjudgmental energy is very present which creates a space of freedom and comfort to be totally transparent. I feel I can talk to him about anything and never feel embarrassed or ashamed no matter the subject which leaves so much openness and room for me to discover more layers to uncover I never knew existed. Best part is that I never feel that I’m doing this alone and I know he’ll always be there. Thank you, Robert Beckett. I appreciate you so much!

Written on May 01, 2018 after therapy with Robert for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Rob is awesome. He offers a different approach from a very objective point of view. My husband and I have different levels of comprehension in regards to how we receive advice and information and Rob does an excellent job of tailoring and tweaking his dialogue to conform to each style. He is compassionate yet stern if the moment calls for it. He has really helped my husband and I close a few chapters and communicate more productively. I brag about our experience on teencounseling.com often. Not personal details of course but just how well the experience has benefited us. We were nervous at first but now Rob is a household name and teencounseling.com is most definitely a staple.

There simply are not enough words to describe what impact Rob has made on my life.
He is incredibly professional, yet so relatable, and down to earth. I often thought counseling was based on what these individuals learned throughout their education. However, I have come to realize for some this is just their calling in life. Rob is truly gifted and naturally compassionate. I thank him for simply being him and not treating what he does like a job, this is a passion for him and it shows.
