Robert Gonder
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
About Robert
I have been serving Maryland residents since 1998 and have experience working with a vast array of populations. I offer a unique skill set of solution focused, behavioral, and holistic modalities. Helping people to rewrite the stories that no longer serve them has become a passion; exploring family dynamics and facilitating both individual and environmental changes.
I work primarily with adults age 18 and over. My preference is in working with individuals trying to manifest real change, and improve their ability to communicate, and experience a feeling of empowerment. I have an extensive history working with persons suffering from chronic mental illnesses. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

If I tell him a problem I’m having. he doesn’t just agree . He will help me understand what behaviors / action I am doing that are unhealthy and talk me through them while giving healthy alternatives. Finding a professional that respects my holistic approach to health and wellness instead of recommending medications has been a breath of fresh air !!!”
