About me

Thank you for reaching out!

I am Rob and I have over 25 years of experience in the field of mental health services. I finished graduate school in 1992 and have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric care, and private practice. I've worked with individuals and families facing a variety challenges such as addictions, depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, binge eating, weight loss issues and much more.

You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Rob has been not only been very helpful to me while sorting out my depression and ADHD, but has also been very patient and understanding with me. I also appreciate his complete acceptance of my gender identity and sexuality, especially since I've had my share of medical providers who aren't so open-minded.

Rob's fantastic. He's easy to talk to, and an empathetic listener. He gets the job done, but our meetings always have the relaxed feel of friends catching up--the main difference being that the conversation goes deeper than the average friend conversation might. Highly recommend.

He provides a warm atmosphere to discuss, lets you lead if you need to lead the session, but also asks questions to gently guide you. Each session has been helpful, enlightening, and offers "food" to chew on for the week.

I’ve been working with him for about 6 months, this is my first time working with a single therapist on my own time for this long. I am 24 and feel like my eyes are opening to life and I’m working through the learned barriers that I have. It takes a lot of practice and it’s great having someone to check in with who can keep tabs on me and give me professional perspective. I do most of the talking, but he listens and doe’s rush me. Thank you so much, Rob.

Rob Wheeler has been immensely helpful in an extremely tough time for me. It is really hard for me to accept help and he has made it doable. He is professional, compassionate, super insightful and has a sense of humor and then allows me to except myself which is been very difficult lately. I am truly grateful
