Robert Sherman

Robert Sherman is a licensed clinician with 23 years of professional clinical experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and major life transitions. He maintains licensure to practice in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, and he is a licensed clinical social worker registered in Idaho (LCSW-31731) and in Washington (LICSW LW61504049), described here in reader-friendly form as a clinician credentialed to provide clinical social work services in those states.

He holds additional professional roles as a Registered Clinical Supervisor for Idaho and as a Substance Use Disorder Professional across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. His background includes extensive work providing Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, and he maintains a clinical private practice serving Idaho, Oregon, and Washington that can be accessed via his Psychology Today profile under his name.

Robert specializes in trauma work and assists with adoption reunions, offering both brief and long-term psychotherapy to individual adults age 18 and over. He also provides professional consultation on mental health topics to physicians and allied medical professionals in primary care settings.

He does not provide youth or family counseling, nor does he perform evaluations for court-related purposes such as custody assessments or determinations of fitness to work. His scheduling practices are first come, first served, and he does not permit no-shows. Late cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice are discouraged and are accepted only under special circumstances.

In session, Robert aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely - as a sign over the door reads, “all feelings are welcome here.” His therapeutic stance is person-centered and trauma-informed, and his approach is intentional, direct, and purposeful with clear expectations for progress. His clients on online platforms have shown notable progress in relatively short timeframes, an outcome he finds professionally rewarding.
