Robert Cushing, MSW, LCSW What I can help with ## Where the work _actually lands._ I work with adults across Florida on the heavy, looping patterns that keep running long after the moment has passed. [![A lion running behind a herd of zebras across golden grassland in warm low light.](/__l5e/assets-v1/fba189f8-cfd2-45f5-beb2-f23d9b7f208c/lion-hero.jpg) ### Trauma & PTSD This is where most of my work lives. The past is over, but the mind can keep responding as if it isn't.

How RRT works ## Relief that doesn't ask you to _relive it._ RRT works with how the mind is holding a painful experience, without rehearsing the story again. Instead of re-analyzing session after session, we work with the reflexive charge underneath. Direct. Conversational. Often lighter than people expect. 1. ### A free 15-minute call We start with a short conversation. No intake paperwork. You tell me a little about what's going on, I answer your questions, and we see whether this is the right fit. 2. ### A focused 90-minute session The work happens in a single 90-minute session, entirely online from wherever you're comfortable in Florida. It's conversational, direct, and often lighter than people expect. 3. ### You stay in the driver's seat You won't be asked to relive the details or cry through your past. If something isn't working for you, we adjust in the room. 4. ### We look at what shifted Toward the end, we notice together how a specific memory or feeling is sitting differently. Everyone's different, and we can keep working from there if it makes sense. Rapid Resolution Therapy is a therapeutic approach, not a guarantee of specific results and not a substitute for medical care. Every person's experience is different and individual outcomes vary. ![Cyclists riding a Florida causeway bridge at sunrise](/__l5e/assets-v1/44930bf8-0eb2-4897-a734-a4cbc2beaf3b/causeway-cyclists.jpg) The present is the point of power. About Robert ## From the coast of Pinellas County, _a different way to work._ I grew up in coastal Pinellas County. It is the kind of place where you notice when someone's carrying more than they can hold. That's what pulled me into clinical social work. I earned my MSW at Saint Leo University and got licensed as an LCSW in 2021. So I built this practice around trauma resolution and Rapid Resolution Therapy, approaches that target the reflexive patterns underneath, not just the story on top.

Rapid Resolution Therapy is a therapeutic approach, not a guarantee of specific results and not a substitute for medical care. Every person's experience is different and individual outcomes vary. You might be thinking… ## Fair questions. _Real answers._ These are the things people usually say to me on the free consultation, often in the first five minutes. Here's what I actually tell them. 90 min Session length $225 Per session 1 Free consultation “It sounds too good to be true. How can it work so fast?” Fair. I was skeptical of it too. RRT isn't magic and I'm not going to pretend it is. It's a different approach: instead of analyzing the problem for months, we work directly with how your mind is holding the painful experience. That's why it often moves quickly. It doesn't work for every person on every issue, and I'll tell you honestly if I don't think it's the right fit. “I don't want to relive my trauma or cry through my past pain.” Good. You shouldn't have to. A core piece of how I work is relief without reliving. You won't be asked to narrate the worst moment or drag yourself back into the feeling of it. We can do real work while you stay steady in the room. “If I let go of my grief, does that mean I'm forgetting them?” No. Grief work isn't forgetting. The love and the connection stay. What eases is the sharp, stuck part that keeps flattening your days. Many people find they can hold the memory with warmth instead of being ambushed by it. “I've been in therapy for years. If that didn't work, why would this?” Because it's a different job. A lot of traditional therapy is about understanding the problem. That's valuable, and for some people it's enough. If you've done years of that and still feel stuck, it's usually not because you didn't try hard enough. Insight alone doesn't always change the reflexive patterns underneath. That's what RRT actually targets. Get in touch ## Reaching out is the _first step._ Availability ## When you can book All times Eastern. Sessions are online, anywhere in Florida.
