Therapy in Alexandria, Virginia
Rob Krupicka
He/Him
MSW
Therapist, Supervisee in Social Work
I believe that an integral part of a good life is learning about and gaining comfort in your own uniqueness. I enjoy learning about each client’s different experiences, skills, hopes, dreams, and helping them find their own path to personal success and well-being. I have worked with clients with schizophrenia and other psychosis related conditions, bi-polar, anxiety, and depression. I have experience supporting a diverse clientele that includes youth, older adults, LGBTQIA+, all from different and distinct ethnic backgrounds. Because everyone’s experience is unique to them, I use an integrative approach that is built upon each client’s specific needs.
About Rob
​Thinking about therapy can be hard. Finding the right therapist can also be a challenge. I’m thrilled we live in a time when going to therapy is accepted and supported. There was a point in my life when I wouldn’t have sought out mental health support. You may be the same. But I've learned that there is something comforting, freeing, and healing that comes from the knowledge that you are not alone. I know that to my core and that’s why I changed careers and became licensed to perform a service I know can be transformative for those who choose to use it.

My experience has shown me that I particularly like working with older adults, families, and children. I believe that at the core of any productive engagement is a strong client-therapist relationship. Just like in life, good therapy is founded on clear and attainable objectives, flexibility, and honest collaboration as I work to empower clients to move toward achievement of their goals. My approach emphasizes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and mindfulness techniques. I try to build a therapeutic model that is wholly unique to each client’s experience.
In addition to my therapy experience, I have a background in public policy and business. I have served on the board of the Virginia chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and I currently serve on the policy board of Mental Health America.
