Robert Trombetta, LPC

Robert Trombetta is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a registered, board-certified art therapist (AT-R, B.C.). The LPC designation indicates state licensure to provide counseling, and the AT-R, B.C. credential denotes registration and board certification in art therapy. He earned an M.A. from Drexel University’s College of Nursing and Health Professions in 2004 and has accumulated a decade of clinical experience across inpatient psychiatry, community residential programs, and private practice, which he established in 2010.

Throughout his career he has worked with individuals facing a broad range of intersecting challenges, including severe mood disorders, substance use concerns, personality disorders, and thought disorders such as schizophrenia. In private practice he has focused on depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship and family conflict, career difficulties, and support for adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum. He also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, and complex family-of-origin dynamics.

Trombetta describes therapy as collaborative, purposeful work. He values the courage clients bring to confront difficult experiences and emphasizes a cooperative relationship in which clients help set goals and guide the direction of treatment. His style is warm and respectful, balancing honesty and trust with compassion and, when appropriate, a sense of humor. He often frames the therapist role as a steady companion who helps illuminate possibilities and pathways forward.

His clinical approach is grounded in humanistic principles, featuring careful, reflective listening and an emphasis on connection, insight, and personally driven change. He integrates techniques from cognitive-behavioral methods, narrative and expressive approaches, and art-based interventions to understand the whole person rather than only isolated symptoms. He has substantial experience using art as a therapeutic tool - a modality that can be adapted to remote formats with some limitations and that does not require artistic skill. Note: he is temporarily not offering video sessions on the platform due to technical problems and concerns about the format, and is currently limiting sessions to phone, chat, and messaging; he may resume video in the future.
