Robert A. Friedrich, LCSW, SEP

I am a relational psychotherapist which means I'm interested in how people's experience of themselves and others is shaped by their relationships throughout life- including a therapeutic relationship as it evolves in treatment. I am also a somatic psychotherapist in that I incorporate specific methods for increasing a person's awareness of their physical sensations (embodiment) with the intention of increasing their capacity to be present, have a fuller emotional life, and recover from overwhelming experience. I am certified in and incorporate EMDR and therapeutic touch where indicated to support stabilization and recovery from the physiological consequences of traumatic stress.
