Robert Sherman, LCSW, LICSW

Robert Sherman is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of professional clinical experience focused on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and life transitions. He holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - both clinical social work licenses that indicate advanced training and independent clinical practice - and is licensed in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. As a Registered Clinical Supervisor for Idaho and a Substance Use Disorder Professional in all three states, he brings targeted expertise for trauma work, adoption reunions, and substance-related concerns.

Sherman has extensive experience providing employee assistance program services and maintains a clinical private practice serving Idaho, Oregon, and Washington that is listed via Psychology Today. He offers brief and long-term psychotherapy for individual adults over the age of 18 and 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 and does not perform evaluations for court purposes, including custody or fitness-to-work assessments.

Practice policies include a strict no-show rule and a restriction on late cancellations under 24 hours except in special circumstances. Sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Sherman describes his therapeutic stance as person-centered and trauma-informed, and his approach as intentional, direct, and purposeful. He emphasizes an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment - a practice summed up by a sign over the door that reads "all feelings are welcome here." His clients have shown remarkable progress in a short amount of time, a result he finds professionally rewarding.
