Dr. Robert Drinkwater
Co-Founder, Therapy Group of Charlotte
Psychologist
As your therapist, I’ll work to build a secure, empathetic, warm, and collaborative environment for you. That will be the starting point for helping you to build a more balanced, intentional, and fulfilled life.Â
Assisting you to define and meet your goals is what I love about being a therapist. I’ll do this by guiding and supporting you to recognize and change patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are causing your distress and making you feel stuck.
I hope that my clients will learn to exist more fully in the world and, through that process, develop greater self-esteem and confidence in themselves and their abilities.
Robert Drinkwater, Ph.D. Therapist CharlotteI love being able to establish safe, authentic, and meaningful relationships with others in therapy. I have seen over and over again how that translates into lasting, positive gains and changes.
