Robert M. Sawin III brings a compassionate and holistic approach to his work as a pre-licensed professional counselor at GE Family Services, a division of Partners Behavioral Health Corporation. He provides telehealth-only therapy across Alaska for individuals ages 12 to 65 navigating depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and dual diagnoses. Drawing from a Christian worldview and rooted in existential therapy, Robert believes that sustainable healing happens when all dimensions of a person—biological, psychological, social, and spiritual—are addressed.

​

Robert’s clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness, and Hypnotherapy. He collaborates with a registered dietitian to incorporate nutritional wellness into mental health strategies, offering an integrated and client-centered approach. Robert is especially effective with clients who are motivated to make meaningful life changes and has worked successfully with adolescents as young as 12 who can engage in telehealth.

​

His previous experience in institutional settings—including prisons and residential treatment centers—gives him unique insight into how to support clients before crises escalate. He is particularly passionate about supporting trauma survivors, high-acuity clients, and individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds, including Filipino, Jewish, African and Latin American immigrant communities, Native Alaskans, and American Indians.

​

In all his work, Robert encourages clients to explore their own spirituality or metaphysical beliefs as part of their healing, always honoring individual perspectives and values. His therapeutic space is built on empathy, respect, and deep listening, helping clients discover meaningful strategies to navigate life’s challenges.
