Getting to know Robert Hanks

As a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker, I help people navigate anxiety, emotional wellness and stress, interpersonal challenges, identity exploration, and difficult life experiences. I draw on experience across medical and school settings to support patients from all backgrounds, with a focus on adolescents, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Together, we'll work to better understand your emotions, strengthen your coping strategies, and find a clearer path through whatever you're facing. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don't have to figure it out alone. Whenever you're ready to take that next step toward understanding yourself and creating meaningful change, I welcome you to reach out.

What should a new client know about working with you?

DISCLAIMER: We are not able to accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time. As an openly gay cisgender male, I understand firsthand how much it matters to feel accepted, safe, and free to show up as your full self. This lived experience informs the way I approach every session and has deepened my commitment to providing inclusive, affirming care for all patients. My professional background across healthcare and school settings further shaped that commitment, reinforcing the value of adaptability, openness, and meeting people with genuine understanding. Whatever healing and growth look like for you, I'm here to help you find it on your own terms.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You are always assured a warm, supportive environment where you're encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly and without judgment. Using person-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we'll work together to build coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and face life's challenges with greater confidence. My style is collaborative and adaptable – your needs, goals, and lived experience shape the direction of our work, which is tailored to fit you specifically. Meeting you where you are and helping you discover change that feels meaningful and sustainable is what our time together is all about.
