Mr. Bob Podrat

“I specialize in Couples Counseling, Midlife (midlifedevelopment.com), Men's Issues and Workplace Issues. My combination of academic training and real life experience in both the workplace and the world of counseling provide the framework for helping clients find the most effective routes to the life changes they seek. rnMy primary tool for helping clients grow through their challenges is a combination of cognitive-behavioral and coaching techniques. Both of these tools utilize goal orientation and measurable outcomes. These practical approaches often lead to significant change/growth in a relatively short period of time – weeks or months rather than years.

I believe that the challenges of one"s personal life and the challenges of the work world are interrelated. I am interested in exploring both venues in our conversations. Often, new skills learned through our work together, are useful and appropriate to both venues.

Most challenges can be met by dealing with the thoughts and feelings generated by present day experiences. If that strategy is not sufficiently successful, experiences of the past that may be blocking growth are examined.rnrnI look forward to meeting with you and learning more about your needs and perspectives.”
