I’m Robert Margolis, a licensed clinical social worker with over forty years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults across New York State, and all of my sessions are online.
How I work
I think of psychotherapy as a collaborative adventure. You are the expert on your own life. My part is to listen closely, notice what you may be too close to see, and bring what four decades of this work have taught me.
I draw on a variety of well-established approaches and choose what fits the person in front of me. We work from your strengths, toward goals the two of us agree on. Some people come for a few months to get through something specific. Others stay longer because they find the space useful. Both are fine.
Where I’ve worked
I earned my graduate degree from Hunter College School of Social Work in 1984. I served as Treatment Team Leader at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center and as Chief of Service at Bronx Psychiatric Center.
That work taught me to stay steady when things are hard, and to take people seriously. I bring both to every conversation.
A colleague I recommend
If you are looking for support with pregnancy, postpartum, infertility or menopause, my colleague Jeannette Cooper, LCSW-R specialises in exactly that.
