Robert Sheavly, LICSW, DCSW

I believe that people have the innate potential to live emotionally satisfying lives and to experience fulfillment in their work, study, relationships and recreation. I have an interactive style using both brief or depth psychotherapy which is both challenging and compassionate. I work with a broad array of persons from diverse backgrounds. Clients wanting their spiritual or lifestyle orientations respected are especially welcome. My post-graduate training includes extensive study at the C. G. Jung Institute in Switzerland and with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. I am Board Certified in addictions and am a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist.

Because I am trained in a variety of therapies, I am able to select a treatment approach which best meets the needs of the client. This client-centered approach creates a climate of safety which supports those with whom I work in making desired change.

I have lectured extensively in the US, Europe and Asia. I have been Family Program Director at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and faculty at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I am listed in Who's Who Among Human Services Professionals and Who's Who in the World.
