About

With a passion for helping others that extends far beyond the counseling room, Bob McGuire, M.A., LMHC, brings a wealth of diverse experience to his practice. His journey in the field of mental health is marked by a unique blend of ministerial work and practical counseling applications across various settings.

Bob's career path has taken him through the heart of America, serving on ministerial staffs in churches across Texas, Oklahoma, and Washington. This background not only enriches his understanding of spiritual and community dynamics but also allows him to connect with clients from diverse walks of life. His ability to integrate counseling within faith-based contexts showcases his versatility and sensitivity to clients' spiritual needs when relevant to their therapeutic journey.

Beyond traditional counseling settings, Bob has demonstrated his commitment to community service by applying his skills in probation departments and free medical clinics. This experience has given him invaluable insights into the challenges faced by individuals navigating the justice system or dealing with healthcare-related stress. It speaks to his adaptability and his dedication to making mental health support accessible to those who might otherwise struggle to receive it.

Bob's commitment to the field extends to nurturing the next generation of counselors. His involvement in training master's degree students underscores his role not just as a practitioner, but as a mentor and educator in the mental health community. This aspect of his career reflects a deep commitment to the growth and development of the counseling profession as a whole.

At the core of Bob's practice is a belief in the power of change and the inherent strength within each individual. He approaches therapy with the understanding that while change can sometimes be described as a simple decision, it often involves a profound "soul awakening." Bob reassures his clients that while the journey may seem daunting, it is often not as frightening as one might imagine. He stands ready to support clients through this process, helping them to redefine how they view and approach every aspect of their lives.
