Dr. Lobo is an educated, experienced, and licensed mental health professional. He has extensive experience working with children, teenagers, and their families. He has successfully worked with some of the most challenging youth in various settings, including the foster care, academic, and juvenile justice sectors in both the public and private sector. He currently consults with Miami-County Public Schools, New York Public Schools, and several Charter School Systems and operates a thriving private practice.
Dr. Lobo specializes in working with the most challenging children and teenagers around behavioral and academic issues and is proficient in assisting families in getting back on track.
Counseling is not a miracle cure or a magic wand; however, sometimes talking to an objective individual and sharing your thoughts and feelings can be highly therapeutic and liberating, and getting non-judgemental feedback and guidance can be extremely helpful in navigating life’s issues. Many times things can begin to be sorted out in a couple of sessions.

I’ve seen many therapists over the years in the pursuit of finding someone who aligns with my therapy goals. I have looked for someone who can do more than just be a supportive ear. I looked for someone who pushes me, challenges me, and calls me on my crap. Someone who helps move forward and facilitates personal evolution. Doug is great for all of those things. He also has a book recommendation for everything. That may sound daunting, but it really makes all the different throughout the week in between sessions.

This is my first time doing this type of therapy. I didn’t know what to expect and I was quite apprehensive and anxious. Especially right before I had my first live-session with Dr. Lobo. From the first five minutes speaking with him I knew he was a great match. He is very personable, the conversation was flawless. It was as if I was speaking with someone I’ve known for a while. After some time I relaxed and became comfortable speaking more openly with him and receiving therapy.
He is very knowledgeable, I really like that he has given me advice, exercises, worksheets to do and recommends books for me to read. He has helped open my eyes to my trauma and how to go about working through it. I am confident that Dr. Lobo can assist me with the therapy that I am in need of to live a better more anxiety free life. I look forward to future sessions with his expertise.

Dr Lobo has been a perfect fit for what I've needed. He's guided me and helped me to make my own decisions. He's never push or steered my decisions.
