Robert Staaf

Hello, I'm Robert, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and Washington, D.C. I have extensive experience in family and child welfare, specifically in helping with family conflicts, trauma, abuse, and parenting issues. Additionally, I work with individuals dealing with anxiety and depression, among other challenges such as anger management, OCD, stress, intimate and romantic relationships, sex and intimacy issues, and grief or bereavement.

My therapeutic philosophy centers around providing a safe and open environment where you can feel comfortable and free from judgment. I strive to create a space that feels less like a clinical setting and more like a conversation with a trusted friend. My goal is for you to feel at ease and understood, as if you're speaking with someone you've known for a long time.

With a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and certifications as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our sessions. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on your unique needs and experiences.

Working together, we'll explore your concerns and develop strategies to help you navigate life's challenges. Whether you're dealing with the complexities of family dynamics, managing anxiety or depression, or seeking support for trauma and stress, I'm here to help you find your path to healing and growth.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey. If you're ready to take the next step, please reach out and let's start this journey together.
