Robert Anderson, MA

As previous reviews have mentioned--he consistently makes rude comments and seems to be forgetful. Red flags all around right off the bat but we decided to stick with it for a few weeks to see if we would get anywhere with it. Robert's approach to therapy is talking in circles about himself. My partner and I didn't feel heard and often times felt that our therapy time was being taken up with his own stories & opinions--frequently interrupting or shutting down what one of us was saying. He does not seem to be very trauma informed, as well. All in all, my partner grew closer through this experience because we can bond and laugh at the situation but I would never recommend him. Finding the right therapist is hard so I wish you all the best!

Just don't. I have NEVER experienced "care" like this. At a time my world was falling apart, this person was extremely insensitive, causing me more anguish, and adding anxiety to the mix. In the one session we had, he spent a good chunk of it telling me about his bad temper. Major red flag there! As if all of this wasn't enough, he threatened to bill my insurance for sessions that never happened!! I reported him to my EAP, as it was through them that I found this man. Save your time. Save your sanity! Just don't go to him.

Robert B Anderson seemed to have difficult when I first called him up asking odd questions and gave a negative vibe. On his site, he says there will be a 20 minute consultation, but there was none of that. He only wanted my insurance and was not professional in any manner with his follow up communication. I receive a few different text from him and he seemed confused about his own process. It was at this time I called his office and canceled the appointment. He then continued texting me for some reason to throw some off handed remarks my way. I dodged a bullet here this guy isn't professional and is generally rude. It sounds like others had to deal with his brain fog and lack of general understanding of how to talk to people.

When I needed help earlier this year Robert was there for me. Felt like just what I needed at the time, as it does now. I'd still make a point to see him occasionally if I hadn't moved away a couple months ago. Thanks again Robert.

Robert brought both professional and personal experiences to our sessions to help me work through some issues I was having. I appreciated our sessions and would recommend him to others.

I really enjoyed the work Robert helped inspire within me. Every appointment I had left me feeling heard and like I was on the right track. I would recommend Robert to anyone.

I have been seeing Robert for three years and I consider myself lucky to have found him. I have had mental health issues for most of my life. I have seen different counselors for the past 14 years with varying degrees of success. Its difficult to find a practitioner that you can work effectively with. While mental health certainly involves diagnoses and possibly medicating symptoms, they are not useful if a practicioner is unwilling or unconcerned with understanding how you experience life. Robert applies himself intellectually to understand my mental health. Robert's ability to relate his understanding to my life experience and the content of my person has been invaluable. He has helped me rethink my attachment to work and my other obligations. This helped me reduce my stress and select better employers. I frequently recommend him to colleagues and friends. I have worked with Robert for 3 years. I have had him cancel less than 5 times, each for health or weather.

I just had an appointment scheduled with him this morning. While waiting 10-15mins past our scheduled appointment time I decided to look at reviews. All previous reviews were a very good indicator on what happened next. Here is our text exchange when I decided to leave: Me: “I left. Scheduling is incredibly important to me and I feel that it is highly unprofessional that you were not available at the time we established. I have also done some research while waiting for our appointment and see that this is an ongoing problem with you and your clients. Please be mindful of future clients time.” Robert: “Please do be true to who you are... if you must have a therapist chop people off, no matter what...I am certain that you can find a therapist that is capable of doing that.” “For me that clinical attitude is neither empathic or ethical. I do wish you the best in your search for a “good” therapist.” This was among many other texts. Very not okay.

I went to Robert for an issue I was having with someone I'd known all my life. I was going around in circles, obsessing about some very nasty behavior that was directed at me. I was in shock, confused, and hurt. Robert helped me through the use of EMDR, and after a series of sessions, I had an epiphany and I was able to understand this person much more deeply and with compassion, and move on.

Absolutely unprofessional. I swear the review prior to mine is EXACTLY what happened to me...after seeming very eager to help and have me come in the same day I called, he rescheduled my appointment time TWICE and then when I showed up he had double booked my appointment and used some excuse about having someone else booking his appointments...sent me home without providing service. Additionally, he proceeded to charge my insurance for the appointment. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Don't give this joker a moment of your time.

Please do not go to this therapist. I know its hard to find one, but keep looking. You don't need to be treated this way. He cancels the day of. He doesn't apologize and assumes that you have time next week and without asking- "ill see you next week". He will then text you the day of, and ask you to respond ASAP then will threaten to take you off the calendar. Then if you tell him you are pursuing other options, he tells you to work on your COMMUNICATION SKILLS. Then disrespects your intelligen

We scheduled an appointment to see Robert Anderson who seemed very enthusiastic on the phone. When we get to the appointment he comes out of his office holding his phone and says "what are your names?". After we tell him he says "we have a problem. It turned out that he had double booked his appointment and decided to cancel ours as the other person who was scheduled for that time slot was on the way. Not sure about the logic of that decision.

I called this individual to discuss counseling needs. He returned my call and was rude and dismissive from the first few words out of his mouth. I asked him if he would like to reset and start over but he told me “There are a lot of other people out there, You don’t need to see me.” Pretty much the opposite behavior of someone you’re looking to help you with counseling. Stay away.
