I’ve been seeing him for the last 3 1/2 months and it has helped me tremendously. He’s patient and listens to me and offers me different solutions forward. He’s very encouraging too, but also punctual and professional. I’m happy he’s my therapist.

He's a great listener and takes the time to guide you through life situations but not try to fix. That part is left to me. I appreciate his guidance.

Robert Shackelford is a great therapist, and I’ve used him previously for couples therapy on a related platform. He is kind, neutral, and I really appreciate how he creates a space that allows me to pour my feelings out (there are many of them) while prompting me to do some self-reflections. Talking to him is easy, and I highly recommend him.

Robert continues to be patient and listen to my needs and hopes. He has helped me build, understand, and maintain a framework of how my thinking works and to identify where events fall within my framework. This has given me more pause in my actions, which allows for more deliberate next steps instead of winging it like I had been.

Incredible therapist. Anyone would be lucky to have Robert on the other end. I went through a terrible divorce with children and Robert was extremely thoughtful and attentive.

He has a most fascinating and brilliant way of choosing the words, the patterns, and the in-between-the-lines moments of my storytelling. Be they moments of genuine panic, genuine confusion, or genuine amusement, (on my end of course) he always listens to the moment and asks the questions that are meant to bring me back into the room. Something to hold onto, the examine, the weight of his words are exemplified by the humor, kindness, and personalized toolsets he offers me to shape my thoughts. Philosophically he is rich which insight and emotionally he is inquisitive, supportive, and exceptionally mindful. I am rather grateful for his practice, and so enthusiastic whenever he reflects on the inner workings of my mind.
