I am passionate about working with others to break down barriers that prevent the individual from being their best self. This includes mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. If you are facing difficulties in your life, together we can work on finding a solution to help you have a healthy and “whole” life experience. The key is knowing you do not have to face life challenges and barriers alone.

Life is a journey full of transitions that can bring unexpected change and heavy emotions. Children and adolescents often struggle with navigating and regulating such big feelings. Regardless of age, I believe we all have the ability to channel our inner strengths when given the correct tools and proper support.

Hello, my name is Bob Risavi and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I work with adults from 21 to 100. I try to help them cope with and solve problems within their everyday lives. To do this I use several styles of therapy depending on the individual and their particular needs. There is no such thing as a one size fits all strategy. For example CBT therapy is very effective with many patients but psychodynamic therapy may be more effective for other individuals depending on circumstance. The bottom line is, I shape the therapy sessions with you to yield your desired result the best way possible.

The life you had is gone. And you are alone facing an uncertain future. The storm of suffering has so consumed you, the struggles of everyday living bear no resemblance of who you are. The changes are present everywhere. There’s nowhere to put down this burden of loss and nowhere to escape this pain. There’s just you, alone and unsure how to move forward. Your mind desperately grasps at questions: Will I always feel this way? How long can I stand this? Will I survive?

On a long enough timeline, anyone can sort themselves out. Time is precious, however, so make the most of yours by reaching your goals more effectively with a therapist. People consulting with me are seeking deeper satisfaction at work and in their relationships, and through our conversations, they can better find their place in their career, speak up more effectively, and connect more deeply with those they love. I have a focus on men's issues, which can be helpful not only for the men with whom I work, but also for women who want a better understanding of themselves and the men in their lives.
