Robert Fitzpatrick
Counselor, LAC
Tempe, AZ 85282
You may feel stuck in patterns that are affecting your relationships, confidence, or ability to cope with daily life. Anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, or even major life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected and exhausted. Even so, part of you is ready for something different. I work with adults who are open to exploring the thoughts, behaviors, and experiences that may be holding them back so they can build healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of balance and purpose.

Life often presents us with situations that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to move through them. Whether it's a loss of a loved one, transitions that cause us to rethink who we are and what we want, or events in which we've been harmed or mistreated - sometimes we all just need a space to explore our thoughts and feelings so that we can gain the confidence to move forward.

Powerful changes can happen in people's lives much faster than they think. I practice Solution-Focused Therapy: I help you see the deepest strengths you have, the things that helped you make it this far. We use your joyful experiences, your best skills, your quirks, and your deepest motivations to help you overcome the challenges you face now. It's simple, positive, and fast. You don't have to learn any new jargon. We won't dwell too long on what you think might be wrong with you. Quite the opposite. I'm more interested in learning what you were doing in the moments you believed there was something right with you. That's the target.

I help clients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, feeling behind or uncertain about life direction, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity, purpose, motivation, burnout, and men's issues.
Maybe words like “healing,” “growth,” and “self-care” do not really speak to you. You just know that you are stressed, distracted, irritable, unmotivated, or stuck in a situation that is not getting better on its own. Many of the people I work with want a straightforward conversation about what is happening and what might actually help. Some are navigating transitions - finishing school, starting careers, figuring out relationships, or trying to understand what direction their life is taking. Others come in feeling overwhelmed by pressure, struggling with motivation, or wondering why things that once felt clear now feel uncertain.

Does it feel like you’re "on" 24/7 but getting nowhere? Maybe your brain won't shut off, or you feel depression, anxiety, and/or trauma, are causing you to repeat the same losing patterns and cause relationship difficulties. You might be "successful" on paper, but internally, you feel stuck in a cycle of stress, low energy and spiraling thoughts. I’m Sukhmani, and I can guide you through a journey of personal growth to rediscover your internal strength, resilience and adaptability. I know the value of accountability when hitting the "reset" button. My approach is informed by my own path through many life pivots that men face:

Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware men who feel stuck — in anxiety, relationships, pornography struggles, motivation, or patterns they can’t seem to break. Some have tried therapy before and left feeling rushed, judged, or emotionally pushed before trust was built. Clients describe me as steady, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I listen closely, notice patterns you might not see, and suggest practical tools when they matter most. I also work extensively with couples navigating pursue-withdraw cycles, communication breakdowns, betrayal wounds, and emotional disconnection.

My ideal client is a person who’s done everything “right” on the outside but quietly feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who he is anymore. They are not looking to be fixed they're looking to feel real. They want clarity without shame, strength without performance, and space to name what’s true without being judged. They're ready to face what’s underneath the patterns, not to collapse—but to come home to themselves.

With expertise in sex therapy, couples therapy, men's issues, emerging adulthood, LGBTQ and gender-affirming care, I help clients confront patterns, deepen connection, and live with greater integrity and pleasure.
With nearly 10 years of clinical experience, I help clients move toward a more authentic, values-aligned life. Therapy with me is tender but challenging. Real change comes from questioning old patterns, understanding where our beliefs come from, and bravely stepping into discomfort. I want to get in the trenches with you as you face what’s hard and create meaningful change. I’m passionate about LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and sex therapy, including work around sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and sexual wellbeing. My practice is also kink-aware and poly-affirming, creating space to explore these parts of yourself without shame.

Psychotherapy is a partnership between the therapist and the client. The client sets the agenda, the therapist provides methods and together they discuss and explore alternatives to help the client achieve a more effective approach to life. Like any sort of partnership, the success or failure depends upon mutual effort. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2002 and I love my work.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
