Bob has had the privilege of providing consultation and training in family and brief therapies since 1988. In 1994, he became a trainer for the WPIC Family Based Mental Health training program and has declared ever since that every training year is the year of the enactment!
He is adjunct faculty at Chatham University where he teaches couples and family therapy in the graduate psychology program. He also taught at Waynesburg and Carlow Universities and at the University of Pittsburgh, School of Social Work—a post-Master’s program in family therapy. He maintained a private practice from 1983 to 2012 providing family, individual and couples therapy and continues to provide ongoing consultation for therapists and clinical supervisors in several area agencies and to therapists in private practice.
While at the Community Mental Health Center of Beaver County [1971-1988], he developed and ran an in-house family therapy training program. Mentored by Stephen Greenstein, PhD (formerly of Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic) in Structural family therapy, he continues to marvel at the resiliency and competencies that families bring to the table if we make the effort to call for or elicit it.
He and Sherry, his wife of 57 years, enjoy semi-retired life in both Pennsylvania and Florida; they travel whenever possible to Europe. They have two children, four grandchildren and a great granddaughter and a great-grandson
