Most people who end up here have already tried handling it on their own. That works until it doesn't.

I'm Robert Eichar, Coast Guard veteran, licensed therapist, and someone who has done his own work. I know what it's like to sit across from someone and wonder if they actually get it. I do.

Sessions are direct. We figure out what's going on, where it came from, and what to do about it. You'll leave tired sometimes. That's the work. You'll also leave lighter than you came in.

One thing I push back on more than anything else: the idea that you made a mistake, or that you're not worthy of the time, the help, the care. That belief is usually the problem, not the proof.

Still on the fence? Ask yourself one question: is what you're doing now working? If it's not, the next question is whether you want to talk to someone who has served or someone who hasn't. I've served. That's not a selling point. It's just a fact that tends to matter.

For clinicians: Finding a peer whose clinical judgement you can trust but who also brings a healthy alternative perspective can be very difficult. We all have gaps and blind spots and I’m thankful for the people in my life and career who have helped me navigate some of mine. Maybe I can do that for you.
