Robert Hartford, LICSW Psychotherapy Services

Introduction: As the only licensed Systems Centered therapist in the DC area, together, we will explore how to get more of what you want and deserve. In a supportive and safe environment, you will learn specific methods to reduce anxiety, depression and identify patterns that may have served you at one time but are not working now. Our initial sessions will be focused on exploring the issues that are important to you to determine the goals that you want to achieve. We will begin to develop trust, respect and a personal connection, so that you feel safe and understood. I use a blend of techniques which are tailored to your specific needs in order to achieve therapeutic success. I have a systems orientation and include humanistic, cognitive and psycho-dynamic elements. I use an interactive partnership and will encourage you to provide me with feedback throughout our work together. I have advanced study and training with the Systems Centered Training and Research Institute since 1997. I have worked as a leadership coach and organizational consultant to several industries including hospitality, government agencies, and have been in collaboration with the chair of the Department of Clinical Management and Leadership Development at GW Hospital.
