Robert Lewis Bozard, PhD, MDiv, LCMHC, LPC
I'm glad you're here. I practice PhD-Level Counseling and Coaching services for growth and change in life, relationships, and career. The proven approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my primary modality for individuals and the research-based Gottman Method for Healthy Relationships guides my work for and with couples.
I am open to seeing anyone but offer specialized expertise for Men, Couples, and Young Adults. I help clients overcome Porn and Sexual Addictions. I've been honored to help people improve their quality of life for more than 18 years. I'm a South Carolina native, and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Furman University (BA), Duke University (MDiv), Mercer University (MS), and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (PhD).
As a longtime runner with many distance races under my belt, I understand the challenges and rewards of setting your goals and investing the work to cross the finish line. I value the opportunity to help you reach your goals with a supportive, nonjudgmental approach.
Business professionals, pro athletes, national media personalities, college students, military, and retired folks have been among clients I've helped. How may I help you?

Concerns Addressed
Concerns Addressed
Men are an under-served population in counseling, as many guys feel reluctant to seek help. Dr. Bozard developed this space where guys can talk it out. Get help where you don't feel judged or that you need to censor what you say. Some issues can look different in males. Sometimes guys are just more comfortable opening up with another guy. Dr. Bozard understands and is comfortable helping you with private concerns like porn use, sexual addiction and performance, and other forms of addiction. Learn about Dr. Bozard's program to free men from Porn and Sexual Addiction.

Young Adults
There are many approaches to couple and marriage counseling. Gottman Method is among the very best. Dr. Bozard completed two rounds of specialized training in Gottman Method, the most highly researched, science-based approach to helping couples. Communication, sex, money, and infidelity are some of the concerns couples have found help with. The exclusive Gottman relationship assessment applied early in your process offers valuable insights about the health and problem areas of your relationship. Learn how to lean toward one another instead of drifting apart. Read more about Dr. Bozard's work with couples.
Young Adults
Young Adults
The college and young adult years can be exciting and also unsettling. So many transitions and challenges occur in the 20s-30s including relationships, career, school, life direction, loneliness, and over-reliance on substances, gaming, porn, and social media. Dr. Bozard has two decades of experience helping young adults navigate life. He practiced in university-affiliated contexts for about 8 years. Whether you're a young professional, college or graduate student, or still figuring it all out, Dr. Bozard is ready to listen and offer guidance.
Life and Wellness Coaching
Coaching helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfillment, such as by improving their careers, wellness, and overall quality of life. Coaching can help clarify personal goals, identify obstacles holding a person back, and develop strategies for overcoming each obstacle. By creating these strategies, coaching builds upon the client’s unique skills and gifts. Life coaching is not counseling. Coaching is typically more directive, goal-driven, and accountability-focused than therapy. It does not treat mood disorders, mental health disturbances, or trauma from past events.
