Hi, I’m Bob.

If you’re looking for the perfect therapist, then I’m sorry–you’re going to have to keep looking. I have enough crumbs on the floor of my car to feed my family for a week. My socks seldom match, but life is too short for matching socks, right? And I still haven’t figured out how to work an extra hour into the day so that I can get all my stuff done.  Perfect, no. But I’m lucky. In my work, I get the chance to work with people who notice that something hasn't been working in their lives and want to figure out a way to create a life without the pain and the fear of being alone. And I get to be a part of a process where people change their situations from surviving to thriving. That’s exceptional, right?  You can have your best life!   

Robert Wade is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Life and Spiritual Coach who works with people who have felt the pain of addiction and mental health issues to help them resolve their past trauma and end their destructive behaviors. I believe trauma is the gateway to many destructive behaviors and, by processing that trauma, one can be free of the anxiety, depression, and dissociation that accompany it.  With over 19 years of experience in spiritual and mental health counseling, I will work with you to help you become the person you know you would be.  I have worked on creating The Empowered Mind  Program to address the traumatic issues of the past and how they are negatively affecting the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present.  I am a trained EMDR clinician. I am also trained in DBT, and I will also be  a certified mindfulness teacher, grief counselor and anger management specialist.   The following statement can summarize my mission in my profession; engaging communities, empowering people. Engaging communities through advocacy, development of beneficial programs and use of evidence-based practices. Empowering lives by providing empathetic, mindful solution-based programs with victims of trauma and addiction.  I hold a master’s degree in social work from Southern Adventist University. As well as a Master’s in Ministry from Temple Baptist Seminary.
