Robert A AxelPsychologist, PhD, CSAT

About

You want emotional intimacy but disappointment and blame distance you. You withdraw or act out sexually to avoid pain? Do romantic obsessions or resentment towards your partner/spouse fuel your inability to connect and feel loved? I reach out from my decades of experience with individuals and couples who are intimacy avoidant and I help resolve your past and present blocks to intimacy by facilitating the examination and change of life-long patterns in my safe office space. My willingness to listen, to observe, to enter your world with a structured understanding is my therapeutic strength that has transferred to online sessions. As a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I assess and treat sexually compulsive disorders, problematic sexual behavior and blocks to intimacy which may have roots in parental enmeshment. Ongoing mens' groups address the avoidance of closeness through resentment, fear, excess control, sexual withdrawal or sexually acting out.
