“Dr Lusson is great working through relationship issues to get you to confront opportunities for intimacy that I was avoiding or fearful of feeling rejection. It’s a painful and uncomfortable process but he helps support you to look at it differently; more rationally and to go through the door instead of not at all and missing an opportunity for growth and improvement.”

Getting to know Dr. Robert Lusson

Most of my work is Brief Emotional Therapy, typically 4-7 sessions, although some clients have been with me longer. I work with issues of anxiety and depression, as well as relationship challenges and difficulties with emotional intimacy-both with ourselves and others. Much of my work involves moving toward your most meaningful or valued life while accepting the pain and anxiety that inevitably come with it. I'm here to facilitate your journey through whatever you are experiencing or going through, without judgment or attitude. I help manage the depressions or anxieties that come with life, cope with crises, or move into the growth and evolution that are ours to have. I offer Teletherapy on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If you see an open slot, you are welcome to take it without any advance notice. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School. Thank you, Dr. Robert Lusson

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with individuals in 2 ways. First I help with managing whatever issues you may currently be experiencing so that you can survive this period without the damage that we can often inflict upon ourselves when we are struggling. Managing ourselves and our issues is extremely important and gives us a sense of empowerment as we learn to get through these times and know that we have a successful plan to do so without burning down our world. Secondly, once we have stabilized ourselves and have a plan for successful management of issues, we can begin to look at the underlying causes of our issues, for example anxiety or depression. By looking at underlying causes we may be able to better understand what may be triggering our issues and in that way reduce their power over us. Many of my clients choose not to get into a deeper understanding of issues and are content with a successful management plan for when issues arise. That is perfectly fine as no one needs to force you to look at history or past events you do not wish to get into. Successful management of ourselves and issues or problems in the here and now is a very worthwhile goal. I look forward to speaking with you and helping you with your concerns. Dr. Lusson

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Dr Robert has a very welcoming presence and I felt very comfortable opening up with him. This was my first therapy session I have had and it was eye opening on some habits I had that weren't conducive to my relationship.
Spiritually minded, understanding,
Dr Lusson is great working through relationship issues to get you to confront opportunities for intimacy that I was avoiding or fearful of feeling rejection. It’s a painful and uncomfortable process but he helps support you to look at it differently; more rationally and to go through the door instead of not at all and missing an opportunity for growth and improvement.
Dr Lusson was very engaging and genuine. He made me feel very relaxed and able to openly share my feelings and thoughts without fear of judgement. I believe we had a very productive session and I’m definitely looking forward to session #2.
He was humorous, genuine, direct when needed, intelligent and solution oriented. He gave us homework that we will both try and made us realize there are patterns we both need to break in order to grow our marriage.
Facing the fear of change (or whatever is bothering you) is normal yet painful and Dr. Lusson provides a listening ear while challenging your mind to explore possibilities of stepping through the door.
Working with Dr. Lusson has been genuinely transformative. He listens deeply, offers perspectives I hadn’t considered, and helps me see things with clarity and strength. His approach is warm, open-minded, and consistently empowering, I'm very grateful.
Very easy to talk to
I felt an immediate chemistry with Dr. Lusson. He is so genuine, supportive and caring. He is also very flexible and accommodating. I can’t recommend him highly enough and would check all the above categories if I could.
He made me feel very comfortable
I feel comfortable with Dr. Lusson. And I feel that he really listens. I did not feel that I would find someone who would click with me on Grow Therapy. But I did… Thank you.
