Robert Petruzzi, PhD

My name is Robert Petruzzi, PhD, and I am a licensed psychologist and a certified school psychologist. In addition, I am certified as a supervisor of school psychological services and a school administrator. With over 35 years of experience in private practice and schools, I have helped children, adolescents, adults, families and couples to achieve goals aimed at creating a healthier lifestyle. 

As the founder of the Associates of Springfield Psychological, I had created and managed a large psychology practice in the past. Currently, I now specialize in direct treatment and care of my clients. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), insight therapy, behavior therapy, relaxation and stress management along with other modalities. I also specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, school learning issues, ADHD, work place issues, eating disorders, social issues, PTSD, family struggles, parenting and personal growth. As a compassionate and caring professional, my goal is to personally understand and form a plan to provide therapy with each of my clients. My approach is relaxed and down to earth in an environment which feels safe and supportive.

The goal of therapy is to foster growth and encourage the development of skills which allow clients to learn to manage their lives more effectively. By providing a variety of therapeutic services which include individual, family, couples and group counseling, I will help my clients decide which type of treatment may be more effective. Working alongside my clients, we develop goals and strategies together to enable growth and confidence.
