Robert Gould

It was my first time seeking counseling and I didn't know what to expect. I was scared to be so open with a stranger, but it doesn't feel like that with Rob. He is kind and understanding, non-judgemental and easy to talk to. He allows space for you to share and shows genuine interest in what you say. He asks insightful questions and often left me with things to think on until our next session. The best part though about Rob is that he is real. He is honest and will say the things that need to be said and validated so much of what I was experiencing. Thank you Rob for helping me grow, change my life and get to the place I am today.

My partner and I joke that we’re in a thruple now, with Rob. Great sense of humor, easy going, disarming when necessary, and has helped my partner and I get on the same page with regards to communication. We both feel like we can be ourselves with him and have made a ton of progress. I hate to say we kind of needed to be handheld a little in the beginning but we did, and Rob has been almost like a “friend” to us. Now we can’t really imagine our lives/relationship without him. :)

Robert is an amazing therapist. He makes life's hardest struggles uncomplicated.

I have done so many types of therapy over the course of 20 years, and Rob is fantastic. We are a tough couple, with some deep rooted issues, and Rob is fantastic at assessing exactly the approach we need. He's fair, objective, and meets you exactly where you are. We are so glad we found him.

Robert is personable and very understanding. I didn’t always have the words, but he was patient and helped guide me through my thoughts. With his help, I finally had the language to speak about the things that were troubling me, so that I could work on them.

Robert is awesome he really is helping my teen out , thank you Robert

Robert is an awesome encourager. He treats me like an equal and a friend. I feel he wants the best for me. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Sessions with Robert went smoothly. He was quite down to earth and was capable of reading between the lines - which I found helped me open up some. He responds to messages usually within 24 hrs. You need to be able to push yourself and understand what you want from therapy. Robert doesn’t push you - but if you can do that then you’ll likely do well with him as your therapist.

Best there is!

I want to say that rob is amazing. I’ve been with him for over a year and this has been the best therapeutic experience I’ve ever had. I started with Rob at basically the lowest point in my life and he has rode this journey with me every step of the way. He has laughed with me, been patient when I cried, and helped talk me back down when my anxiety was taking me to very dark places. He’s listened when I told him I needed him to check me when I was doing things that was taking me away from my goals. I cannot thank rob enough for being with me on this journey of not only putting my broken pieces back together but helping me find the love I needed from within. He’s been my rock throughout this last year and there are no words to say how much he has helped me and my life.

Robert is really awesome and I've loved being able to talk to him and work through things that I was struggling with. He's really understanding and tries his best to help no matter what, even if that just means listening. He's been really awesome throughout this experience and really welcoming throughout the whole experience.

Robert is super nice, thoughtful and accommodating. He doesn't push too hard or far but definitely encourages you to dig a little deeper, at your own pace.

Robert is an outstanding listener, is very insightful, and really helped me to make a key breakthrough at each of our sessions. He asks very good questions to help open up avenues of thought I hadn't considered before. Plus I found he is very down-to-earth and relatable, and he does not overcomplicate things (which I tend to do). I am confident that continuing sessions with him will help me grow and soon find resolution.

Robert is amazing. He listens very well and asks great questions. He's empathetic and can pinpoint what the underlying problems are. He gives me confidence and gives good advice for a healthier well-being. Never had a better therapist.

Robert felt like a safe place to talk about everything. He didn't or change how he talked to me after talking to him initially. I definitely have nothing bad to say about him. He is insightful and definitely asked the questions that I needed to answer.

Robert has been a safe place to find myself again. He listens well, asks good questions, is nonjudgmental and supportive. I appreciate his warm and respectful, flexible approach to helping me week by week with what is currently the highest priority. I also appreciate very much his recommending reading material that is helpful in my case.

Counseling, in my opinion, is such a challenging thing to do. Despite the desire to get help, it is still so hard to face the ugly stuff with all those emotions and having to do that in a company of a stranger - no matter how kind or supportive - is difficult.
This is where Rob gave me the gift of patience and provided me with a safe (s)pace to get through all the insecurities, anxiety, shame and ambivalence linked to the process. I had some trust issues and wrong assumptions about how our work would look like - I thought he would press me into sharing things I didn’t want to share, explain to me what I did wrong or what I should change, act like the expert who has all the answers.. but none of that happened.
What I experienced instead was kindness, understanding and acceptance of however I felt in any moment. I also appreciated Rob’s openness and honesty. He was always transparent about what he saw or thought was happening. During our first interactions he explained the process of counseling to me, the dynamics linked to that, what to expect and also what difficulties could come up along the way. That felt a bit unusual at first, but made me feel included and in control and like this was about me and my goals, not about his agenda.
I appreciated to have my boundaries respected at all times - Rob had a good feel for where I could go and where not and there was no pressure. And I felt like he was grounded enough to be able to deal and help me through whatever may come up, be it an unpleasant inner state, a painful memory or a difficult situation. It has been a truly healing experience to get supported in times when I struggled to endure myself.
This wasn’t my first experience with counseling, but so far the one that really made a difference. I feel like I’m finally moving forward and dealing with my issues and Rob created the space for it. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I like working with Robert because it feels like a friend with expertise is getting alongside you. He is attentive and reflects back on exactly where I'm at. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder as we do also means that when he senses I am ready to be challenged on something, he will not hesitate to do so and I trust him fully with that which results in much more powerful change.

Robert is an amazing counsellor. Great listener, polite and always very calm and fair. We love his very balanced and neutral approach, always without judgment

Robert has been very supportive and helpful through a difficult time in my life. I do feel much calmer after a few sessions with him. He is truly passionate about what he does and that is evident in his attitude.

For the first time in years I have absolute trust in a man and feel heard and safe. His approach is exactly what I needed.

I've had a number of breakthroughs during my three months with Robert. Literally changed neural pathways in my brain. I'm a big believer!

Rob has been such a peaceful, kind presence in my life. We started meeting together a few weeks before I was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer. He helped me make a lot of progress before my diagnosis, but I’ve been especially thankful for his willingness to walk alongside me through a terrifying season of life. He has been available via video or messaging whenever I need him, even at odd hours. Before I started counseling, I was worried that I wouldn’t know what to say, but Rob is very easygoing and fun to talk to. He strikes a great balance between asking thought-provoking questions and allowing some silence and space to think. I highly recommend meeting with him!

Robert has been an incredible support for me over my several months of using teen counseling. From day one, I felt heard and understood in a way that I didn't know existed. He challenged me in ways that completely caught me off guard but made perfect sense. The growth that I've made while seeing Robert is incredibly inspiring. I am endlessly thankful for his wisdom and kindness.

I've been working with Rob for a while, and can honestly say heat made a real difference. I started the sessions feeling lost, not really knowing who I was or where I was going. Now I feel like I'm teencounseling.coming control and that things can be different. Rob has been patient and understanding, I can't thank him enough for the support he has shown.

Rob has been a huge support with helping me with trauma, and anxiety. He has a beautiful presence. I could talk to him freely without fear of judgement. He was always encouraging, gentle a med insightful. I cannot fault his methods. His kindness is extraordinary and if you're going through any life changing stressful event, I highly recommend Rob. I will always, always be thankful to him.

I feel I very understood and validated by Robert.

Robert is great! He helps me to feel heard and appreciated and respected. He keeps things real with me.

Robert is very skilled.

Robert is the most wonderful therapist I have worked with. I would recommend him to anyone. I am so happy to have chosen teencounseling.com. The experience has been even better than 1:1 office setting therapy.

I haven’t been working with teencounseling.com for a long time as this is my 3rd week I think, and I can tell that Rob cares about my issues and tries to find the best way for me to understand why I’m feeling a certain way, and to help me find relief. He also explains why he’s using certain techniques for therapy as well. I would recommend it to anyone and have shared the app with a few people who I think it would be good for.

I am very grateful to have connected with Robert. He has been extremely helpful in providing counselling and offering support while I am transition through a difficult time. I am grateful I listened to my intuition and decided to enlist expert support throughout this time. I feel heard, safe, and validated, and this therapy provides me with the time to reflect on a lot of things. Two sessions so far, and I feel it’s been a very worthy investment. Thank you Robert.

Robert is helping me focus on what I want in life and is helping take the steps to get there. I appreciate the active listening and constant communication. It’s helpful when navigating the challenges of life. I’d recommend Robert to help with clarity and the ability to give me tools to continue to move forward.

Robert is very supportive and listens to my thoughts and feelings with empathy. He responds in a timely manner and makes the time to make sure I’m ok. Thank you Robert for helping me with my journey!

Very thorough and thoughtful. It’s very obvious he cares about all the people he works with and gives all of them his 100% advice.

Having a second counseling session with Robert has really helped me slowly mentally move on for the better in my self and I look forward to having another session with him soon! Absolutely wonderful counsellor. Highly recommend!

Robert is responsive, caring and understanding. He is compassionate and listens with the intent to help build and grow the client.

I went looking the previous Saturday for a therapist or counsellor as I needed to talk to someone and get advice quickly. After seeing this website, I took a chance and enrolled, at first I was with a few other counsellors but they didn’t work out due to scheduling, that’s when I came across Robert. He was immediately empathetic as he welcomed me and asked if I had used this before, then explained how this worked, and how scheduling worked. That night I was struggling and sent a message to him for advice and he immediately got back to me with tips, and from then he would reply when he could, but mentioned that if I wanted to talk longer could get sessions as he would be able to focus one on one for a longer time. Overall he didn’t judge me, was very clear with his methods and actually cared, as he would check in on me. It was great working with Robert as I definitely needed the chat and we worked on many things in the short period of time, and I feel in a way better position than where I was when I began and needed help. I would definitely recommend Robert as he’s got methods and great advice on ranges of topics, and will try and help as best as he can therefore I will look to work with him when I feel like I need more counseling.
