Rob Walls(He/Him/His)

A lifelong search for meaning, connection and understanding has guided Rob throughout his academic pursuits, his first career in cooking and restaurant ownership, and his current work as a therapist. An innate attraction to topics like existential confusion, human relationships, and spirituality led Rob to major in theology at Georgetown University (with unofficial minors in frisbee-throwing and iPod DJing). Working in some wonderfully inventive and soulful kitchens in the city after graduation, long before he’d ever heard the term “mindfulness,” Rob was drawn to the sense of presence and direct engagement involved in both cooking and eating.

As meaningful and fulfilling as restaurant work was, it eventually became clear that it wasn’t the sort of work that Rob felt he could sustain indefinitely. He decided to pursue a master’s degree in social work at Fordham University to honor his calling to engage in work that involved connection and nourishment, as well as demanding of himself a commitment to lifelong learning and reflection.

Rob considers each therapeutic relationship to be a unique and collaborative experience. He makes a point of allowing the work to unfold free of any preconceived notions, and utilize techniques from the theoretical traditions of psychodynamic, somatic, and attachment-oriented therapies.

His practice currently focuses on those struggling with alcohol use, alcoholism and addiction, though he also specializes in issues around parenting, blended families, and long-term relationships (marriage, etc.)

Currently all sessions are being held remotely.
