Dr. Robert Ferow ed.d., LPC-S, LSOTP, CCTP

My back ground includes; USMC infantrymen, EMT-Paramedic 1990-2000, interventionist CIRT. My education includes: BA History and Psychology 2000, Masters Education in Counseling 2006, Master of Biblical Studies 2012, and Doctor of Education 2023. My areas of counseling interest includes trauma, sexual assault survivors, shame, empathy, grief, sex offender treatment provider, and stigma caused by emotional trauma that life creates. My clinical experience include adolescents & adults. Clients with problems of emotional regulation, behavioral, and trauma related experiences are of interest. My hobbies / coping skills of life include my faith, cooking, restaurant touring, camping, black smithing and knife smithing, and tai chi.

My life philosophy is borrowed from Frtiz Perls who stated “Pain is meant to wake us up… Pain is something to be carried around, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It all depends on how you carry it.”
