Caring, compassionate, and comfortable service.

Robert literally saved my life. I cannot explain it any better than that. Thank you Robert Stephen

Robert set my son back on the straight and narrow. He didn’t sugar coat anything, but kept it real, which was exactly what my boy needed. My boy was heading in the wrong direction and Robert’s experiences allowed him to reach my son where other counselors only deigned to go. My son graduated high school and is now enlisted in the US Army ( a dream of his since he was 5). My opinion? Robert Johnson gave my son a new hope on life. I gratefully share the success of launching my son to his assistance during those turbulent years.

Very caring, supportive, and helpful

Finding Robert at A New Outlook Counseling was a blessing! He has truly helped me through the trials and tribulation's of my sobriety! He is very knowledgeable, understanding and compassionate. I strongly recommend him to anyone struggling with addiction.

Robert is a wonderful person and has outstanding communication and problem-solving skills. I felt completely confident that he understood me. Robert is warm and understanding. Throughout my entire journey he showed compassion, empathy and was flexible towards my ever-changing needs. He is a solid sounding board and talented counselor. I highly recommend Robert and A New Look Counseling Services.

Robert is a great therapist. He is very reasonable and good at listening to you. Hes great at coming up with solutions to issues or problems you may have and he is a joy to work with. Thank you for your support and recommendations.

This is my first experience with understanding my lengthy addition to my medication. Robert has allowed me to see & has helped me through a difficult time just in life alone. Thank you RJ. I definitely recommend anyone to go spend a least a session to see what comfort you feel at his office! Much love to New Outlook Counseling!

I’m thankful for being introduced to Robert and A New Outlook. I look forward to me becoming more present and in the moment and in turn having “a new outlook” and being a positive influence wherever I am.

When I first started going to Robert I was a mess and my life was falling apart. In a few short months my life has turned completely around! He actually listens to me completely and then offers suggestions and advice that are solid and compassionate. He says that this is “my path and my program” and does not push. However, following his guidance and doing the work has paid off tremendously. He provides the tools and support that I have never had. I am grateful to have found him! If you or someone you know is struggling, go see him.

Robert is a really nice guy you can really talk to him about anything. I've been seeing him the past few months and he helped me out a lot I feel a lot better then when before I started seeing him. He is probably the best counseler I've had and the best one out there.

Robert is amazing! After years of struggling with my anxiety, im finally able to get control over it. I’ve never been so happy or relaxed. Thank you!

Robert is a kind, helpful and understanding councelor. He has helped me with several issues that plagued me for decades. Hats off to him!!!

My experience at A New Outlook has been wonderful. I feel very comfortable as a safe space has been created for all of my needs. I feel the services have been very helpful and equally as educational. Robert is very respectful as well as very caring for his patients. I highly reccomend A New Outlook for anyone!

Amazing. Helped me out a ton with my anger problems. Robert is amazing at listening and giving advice

I've known robert and rick for many years. Ive reconnected with robert as im going through a rough time as we all sometimes. I respect roberts feedback, its real. Sometimes not what i want hear but its what i need. Havent seen rick in a while but from the past experience i had with him hes the same as robert. Inspiration house was the best house on the block.

I absolutely love this place, the staff is amazing and Robert is an awesome help!

Robert really helped me through my hard time. I would greatly recommend this place to anyone struggling with anything

It is not often that you meet a person like Robert J. Johnson. Totally committed to the cause. Helping those who reach out for structured and direction in the fight with all substance use disorders. SoberWorx is grateful to have crossed paths with Robert. - Chris Freeman | Founder - SoberWorx

I finally found someone (Robert) that I feel comfortable opening up to, discussing and resolving my issues.

Dr. Robert genuinely cares about his paitents. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

I've worked with Robert Johnson for years and I found him to be supportive, experienced and he knows how to "get the job done". He was instrumental in providing me the quality time I experienced just before my mother died. I was in a very unstable condition and he was there to support me the last time I saw my mom. I mean, he was there, with me at my mother's house. He waited patiently, for hours while I spent quality time with my mom. He invested personally. He cared. He understood. He listened. What more could you ask for in a counselor? What more could you ask for in a friend?

Robert is truly a gift from God! He’s been an inspiration to me and a wonderful counselor.

Robert. Is highly qualified and was immensively constructive in helping me to address my addictions. His education is second to none and I highly recommend him.

Robert is great! Easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in many areas of struggle.

Working with Robert has completely changed my life! Would not be where I️ am today without him! #Blessed!

Robert has been a wonderful guide and influence. He is warm and forthcoming, straightforward without being critical. Go to A New Outlook Counseling for assistance with any challenges you may be facing.

Robert will listen to you and acknowledges all of your thoughts and experiences as valuable. He will give you tools to overcome trials in everyday life that were otherwise overbearing. I come out of my meetings with him refreshed and hopeful. I highly recommend seeing him if you are struggling.

Been seeing Robert for almost two months now for anger management. I’ve turned my life around for the better and I highly recommend this place.

A New Outlook Counseling and Robert has been a tremendous help with my anxiety. Very understanding and clearly shows compassion to my severe conditions. I am feeling much better and look forward to everyday. I do not know where I would be today without the help of Robert. Thank you

I would absolutely recommend A New Outlook Counseling Services to anyone who is struggling within their addiction. In my opinion, we will never be cured of the disease of addiction, but with such help, as A New Outlook, my need to entertain the thoughts of my addiction are far way less with the help of Robert....thank you.

Outstanding!

Robert was extremely helpful and understanding of my situation. He not only worked with me on a payment plan but was also very respectful that I was working in a very specific time frame. He was very warm and welcoming and unjudgmental. Thank you so much Robert! Highly recommend.

Robert is a very empathetic and intelligent counselor with experience and wisdom.

Robert Johnson has been a fantastic asset to my husband and I continuing to build a strong marriage and partnership. We were required to undergo pre-marital counseling for the church that we wanted to get married in. An obligation turned into healthy foundation for us to begin our lives together. I would highly recommend Robert for anyone looking for help building their marriage. Ruthie Roark

Its 2007 and i entered treatment scared and alone. Robert was one of my counselors that worked with me during my stay. He was able to get to the root of my issues, work with me in dealing with them, and taught me skills to live life sober on a daily basis. For this i am forever grateful. Highly recommended and thank you again for saving my life. Chris J

My sweetheart and I have been through some of the most difficult times in our lives over this past year. Robert has been a pillar for us, helping us navigate and giving us tools to help us grow. We are both business professionals that travel almost 100%. He has been gracious to work with us and his schedule is very accomadating. A rare find! I highly reccomend Robert for any area you may be struggling!

Robert takes a genuine interest in your mental health, well being and recovery. Specifically, he will return calls and reach out outside of your typical therapist. Robert is an experienced, empathetic, trained professional. Highly recommended.

Amazing sessions I’ve had so far. Many more to come ! I am beyond ecstatic that I “stumbled” across Robert . The universe works in mysterious ways . I highly recommend Robert! Thanks Jordan 🤗

Robert has helped me overcome many things! You don’t have to be an addict to be a client! He’s just a great counselor for all life issues ❤️ If you have any problems, as we all do! Please see him

Dr. Robert is amazing. He helped through some issues and helped me to feel like I haven’t felt in a long time. Amazing I can’t say enough good things about him and his practice.

Robert is the best counselor I have ever been to!! He tries his best to actually help his clients. He is definitely a wonderful person and counselor. Highly recommend anyone who has any type of problems with mental health issues to go to him. He definitely does his best to help !

Smart therapy... just the right balance of questions and patience. Robert uses a kind logic that points to the answers needed. Exceptional!

A new outlook with robert johnson is nothing shy of life saving!! He is very knowledgeable and truly wants and cares about helping you in every aspect of your life. I truly feel blessed for having him in my life!!

My son has been seeing Rick at the Lakewood office for several months we found him at the right time and he has helped my son down the path of sobriety, not only that he has also been a friend who really cares. I was uncertain if my son would open up to him but he could because he really knew what he was going through and he was not judged or made to feel ashamed, my son has been clean since the first of May Rick has been a part of his successful I am very proud of my son and very thankful for Rick and A new Outlook Counciling Service, I highly recommend them! Anna C

Robert is amazing! He finds a way to connect with you and help you work through your problems. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone having a tough time.

Robert has been an exceptional counselor for me. There is a balance between listening asking questions and providing suggestions, and Robert has perfected that balance. I would highly recommend Robert for anyone in a position where they need advice and counseling in their lives.

Robert is Awesome and someone I can just “spew” my issues, good and not so good sometimes to and he listens, responds with encouragement and ways for me to see things differently . Robert is a person I can be accountable to and confide to to help get me through the week with a new and positive outlook! Everyone should have someone like him to help coach us through life’s ever changing circumstances , challenges, celebrations, Horseshoe J

Robert, is a highly professional and engaging individual. His approach was extremely useful in helping me address my addiction issues. His long term experiences and extensive education were evident in our sessions. I would highly recommend Robert.

Robert has been there for me and my wife as we have gone through some very difficult struggles. He has helped guide us by providing great insight and constructive dialogue. He has great resources for the right type of help outside of himself, and has always made himself available even outside of business hours, doing everything he can to accommodate us. You can tell her takes his job seriously and deeply cares for his clients and their path to recovery, and we wouldn't have the the hope for out future that we do, without his help. I would recommend him to anybody who finds themselves or a loved one going down a difficult path.

Robert has made me feel very at ease discussing several delicate issues. He has been a great listener, kept track of and processed well, a lot of information and then has helped me with insightful suggestions and opinions. I’m happy I found him.

A New Outlook Counseling and Robert has been a tremendous help with my anxiety. Very understanding and clearly shows compassion to my severe conditions. I am feeling much better and look forward to everyday. I do not know where I would be today without the help of Robert. Thank you

Robert will help you work through your problems and issues. You can trust him

Robert helps me get to the core issues within my addiction & relapse , the weekly sessions are non rushed & leave me with hope & encouragement . I would definitely recommend Roberts sevices to any struggling addict in need of help...thanks Robert..

I stopped seeing Robert after about 4 sessions because we just didn't click personality-wise. Sometimes finding the perfect fit is hard. Breaking up with your therapist can be awkward but Robert was very understanding and actually encouraging. So that was really cool. Robert has tons of relevant personal experience that is very useful in sessions. He's plugged into community resources and can point you in the right directions. He cares about what he is doing. He made himself available to me off-hours when I needed help. That's commitment. Robert is technologically savvy and you can tell from how his business is run. He's modern and digital. I like the ease of being able to set appointments online. He sent me emails with meditations and other helpful materials right from our sessions. I recommend Robert for people who are new to recovery. I found him to be very action-oriented which is very important. However, I need to process through difficult thoughts and emotions by talking and getting feedback and being challenged that way. Robert seemed to have a different style than that and we really didn't have much critical or thought-provoking dialogue. But all in all, a very positive experience.

I have taken alot of counseling in my life, and he is the one I can really relate to and have a great conversation with. I would recommend him.

It asked for a review of my phone experience, the guy who answers is pretty polite but I have never gone to counseling here.

For short few month my life has change to better ! I can see light in the end off the tunnel

I am surprised at how well some of the real life tools/techniques my counselor has turned me on to work. Helping my anxiety and my accountability a lot. I highly recommend if you are thinking about it. This has been a great experience so far

I have been a client with Robert for 2 years now and when looking back at the first few months I saw him, I was a totally different person. I look back now and almost can't believe how far I have come. I have been to several other counselor over my life for anxiety and depression but no one has been able to help me like Robert. He holds me accountable and provides me with the tools and resources I need to continue to be successful and keep my anxiety and depression under control. I would recommend A New Outlook to anyone in a heartbeat and hope that if you need help All you have to do is reach out and Robert will welcome you with open arms.He has helped me shape my life for the better and there isn't any way I can ever thank him enough!

My experience here is great. Robert is a great therapist. He helps me and my family get along better. We had a rough patch with him having me do things I hated but after I told him how I felt we worked through it and figured everything out now everything is going great. Great therapist over all!

After the first time seeing Robert, I had the best week I have had in 3 years. I was so ready for his help. I hung on to every word he said and thought of them all week and my energy was different. I just needed a little push to get me positive and excited about life. I can only imagine the progress I will make in the very near future. Thanks Robert!

This man is a great influence and has helped alot with my problems.He has helped me break through barriers that i couldn't do on my own.I appreciate him qnd respect him

Robert leaves me feeling a sense of progress after each session. I found an instant connection with him, which helps to alleviate the anxiety of seeking counseling. A New Outlook lives up to it's name.

Robert is an amazing listener and active part of my treatment. His cognitive techniques are truly helping me detach from toxic situations in my life. I am already feeling less and less anxiety and codependent free thanks to him!

Robert is an excellent therapist. He is very caring and does whatever he can to help his patients/clients. He helped me overcome my very severe depression and get to a stable point for the first time in my life.

A New Outlook is an agency of Excellence! The Clinical staff are very empathic and professional, and my experiences have always been very rewarding. They go above and beyond to help others and offer sincere, experienced, and knowledgable therapeutic services. Highly recommend!

So happy that we were able to find Robert! My son is seeing things a lot differently and we're so grateful.

Mr Johnson is outstanding! He makes you feel comfortable while talking with him. In my time with him he has helped me see things in a different light. Different ways to think or different ways I can treat situations. This has been a tremendous help in the way I handle different everyday situatuons. He takes the time to help you find different ways to slowly start taking steps in the right direction. Through classes, activities, or maybe even clubs. He is supportive and incouraging. He has help me alot through out the time I have had with him. With my new thinking it has made my progress alot easier and I understand more about my problems and what I can do to change them and ways to go about them. Thank you for everything!

I feel that my need/desire for counseling is being met with concern and a mutual desire to make a positive change. Robert listens and researches information for me when needed. I feel comfortable talking to him.

Robert was instrumental in helping me turn my life around, in fact he saved it! He helped me deal with my addictive behaviors, depression, and anxiety due in part to my failing marriage. His compassion is second to none and he "understands" me and my feelings. I owe Robert everything! Thanks for your help! I know I can call on you anytime for anything. God Bless!

Robert has been a great help to me, and due to this he has been a great help to my family. Robert has enabled me to see things in a new and different way. Enabling me to become a better person of myself and my family. Thank you Robert!!!

Robert Johnson is a great counselor. He treated me with the upmost respect and courtesy. I have been out of the state for the last few months. When i return he will be my first call if i get off track again. Thank you so much for helping in such a scarry time of my life.

I really liked going to New Outlook Counseling Services. Robert provided so much information to help me. I was a bit on a time crunch and he worked with me and my schedule. I really appreciated that. I would most certainly return if the need arises. I can refer to my notes and time and he gave me some meditation references I still use. Thanks again Robert!

You will always have the support you need, and someone who truly cares!

Robert is great!! I look forward to the meetings I have with him; he has definitely helped me view things from another angle and get myself back under control. I would definitely recommend him and his service.

I was struggling with the negativity that was engulfing my life and felt powerless to find a way out. My sessions with Robert have shown me an easy path to follow to find where I want my life to be with my family. I know it really wasn't easy, but his guidance and support made it feel a lot easier than I expected. I have a new found control over my emotions and the peace that it brings is something I hadn't been able to experience in quite a while. Robert is non-judgmental which helps me open up to accepting responsibility for my actions while letting others accept their own as well.

Robert Johnson is very understanding and honest. He really seems to love his job and helping people. He was instrumental in helping me get sober and I never felt like I was being judged. Thank you!

I have been attending A New Outlook and have noticed great results in mental health and stability. They have granted me many way in which to make myself feel more confident in myself i appreciate everything that they have done for me and highly recommend them to anyone in need.

Robert completed some co parenting counseling sessions for me. And they have made some huge changes in my life

I absolutely love Robert. He is an amazing human being who will do everything in his power and beyond to make sure that you are good. I was looking for an addiction counselor and I found him. I called him while he was in Hawaii (which I didn't know), and he answered. He even called me back to see if I had figured out if I could afford it or not. He also worked out costs so I could afford the help I needed. I am so glad I found him!:)

I found Robert Johnson on the Internet while searching for support for my teen son . Roberts skill set is with his firm no nonsense approach and still be kind and empathetic is amazing . For any teen boy I think this style is perfect and hard to find . I highly recommend him .

my husband and I were required by our church to undergo pre-marital counseling before we could be married. We were really blessed to find Robert who not only was affordable and worked with our schedules, but we built a firm foundation of communication skills that have been one of the strongest and most successful parts of our lives together. I still look forward to that Sunday evening meeting with my husband. It starts my week off right. Thank you, Ruthie R

The attentive attitude of the counselor are beyond reproach. I instantly felt comfortable to talk about my past and work through some traumatic issues I had not dealt with as a child that affected my adult life. I appreciate the straight forward, direct approach in the counseling style. I would recommend my closest friends to address some issues here that can be confident are going to be handled in a professional manner.

The service was spot on and helpful.

Mr. Johnson was my Therapist for several months and he helped me figure more out about myself than anyone in my past ever came close to. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Thank you Robert.

My husband and I have been going to A New Outlook Counseling Services for a couple of months to help with our marriage. Our sessions have made a huge difference in our relationship. I feel safe, and comfortable each time we go. I actually look forward to our sessions! I have recommended their services to a friend of mine, and I will continue to recommend their services. You will not be disappointed!

I first met Robert When he was my case manager at the peer 1 program. Robert helped me to take a serious look at myself and the way I was leading my life. I am truly grateful for the many things I learned from this man. I have referred family to him and believe that if it wasn't for him and people like him. I never would have learned how truly beautiful and blessed my life could be. Thank you Robert.

I went Robert Johnson last November when I was having difficulty stopping drinking on my own. Robert gave me the tools I needed to become and stay sober. He recommended meditation, journal entries, poetry and movies. Robert has a great, easy-going manner. I highly recommend him if you wish to stop an addiction.

Robert is an excellent therapist. He has an easy way about him that makes you feel comfortable while working through issues. I would highly recommend Robert and a New Outlook Counseling Service

We used A New Outlook (Robert Johnson) for marriage counseling. We apply his advice to our daily relationship. I am so glad we learned to communicate with each other this way and am very pleased with the service, the outcome, and would highly recommend his marriage counseling in particular. No judgement, condescending or disapproving attitude - just realistic and sound ways to communicate with your spouse.

Ok so I was a client at peer 1 where Mr Robert Johnson was one of my counselor and I would have to say that he is very personable I value the feedback and guidance he provided always a good listener and very knowledgeable in his advice. Robert I believe is unique in that he is also a student who has a willingness to learn. Addiction does not have just one flavor, and I believe that Robert always offered many different solutions. He was never closed minded or so rigid to not seek out alternative perspectives. I would have to say he is a true role model living with integrity and leading by example. For me it is important for any counselor, teacher, therapist that wants to be able to help someone find a better life should have a certain degree of empathy of where an addict has been. I feel that Robert has that about him and I would recommend him to anyone that was looking for answers on how to live a fulfilling life.

My counseling sessions were very helpful. I was able to begin a healing process for a very difficult problem. Since my therapy life is back on track to a "Pura Vida" life. The staff and therapist offered me and my family a safe comfortable environment to work through our issues. Thank you New Outlook towards my new outlook at the problems I had to face.

Robert is a great councilor and is very good at his job. He helped me a great deal to get my life back on track.

R u ready for change? A New Outlook can help you!!!! Make the first call.

Robert Johnson helped me throughout my alcoholism and into my (happy, amazing!) recovery. He is a warm, caring professional with high integrity and a true love for his profession. I can't think of anyone more competent, knowledgeable, and gifted in their position than he.

The experience, resources and info combined with a true desire to help those of us experiencing difficulty in overcoming life's obstacles is priceless. Robert has the ability to help you on so many different levels and will give it to you straight. He has opened my eyes to the enormous possibilities that await me in a world free from drugs and alcohol, and has encouraged me to pursue these on a daily basis.

Man. I was a drunk... Rob helped to save my life. He didn't act all high and mighty. He never judged me, unless I had a day where I didn't give 100 percent, telling myself lies, and trying to find the answers in a bottle... Well the answers weren't there, and when I was ready to hear the truth, Rob was. And he made it easy to transition from whatever I was before, to a whole bunch closer to who I am supposed to be. NOT a drunk.

7 years ago I met Robert Johnson. I was lost, confused, and hopeless. He was my intial counselor at the facility I was at. Daily meetings with him, and his counseling started me on the path to soberity. I highly recommend using his services to change your life.

Robert is one of the beys counselors I have ever had the privilege of working with . His passion backed by knowledge of his trade is unsurpassed I use many of the coping skill lessons every day! Thank you Robert J

July 2007 I entered treatment at Cedar and this is where I first met Robert. He taught me to believe in myself, work through my issues without using an illegal substance, and most importantly, taught me to live life again clean and sober. For this I am grateful so thank you... Chris Joannides

I have known Robert for several years and I would recommend no one in front of him. He is a honest and down to earth man. Worth your time in every way...above and beyond.

My time with Dr. Robert has been SO beneficial, not only for myself but also for my family and friends. Nearly two years ago I started meeting with him and was VERY skeptical about seeing a therapist. I didn't need therapy. I can handle my problems myself! I never thought that our meetings would have such a positive impact on my life. The tools he has provided and his positive reinforcement have - and continue to - help me every day. I am far less anxious and stressed, less worried about things around me that I can't control. These days, I wake up with a better perspective of the day(s) ahead. I'm learning how to restructure my thinking and behavior without the assistance of addictive drugs and alcohol. Changing your thinking and behavior - your life - is hard. Fact. But today, I am glad my original cynical view toward therapy has been disproven and am grateful for Dr. Robert's insight and support!

I have been going to Robert for almost a year now and have made a 180 degree turn from where I was at emotionally and mentally. I have been to several counselors throughout the stages and phases of my adult life and all have helped me grow and move forward past difficulties and challenges. Working with Robert has taken me to a new level. I highly recommend counseling in general, no matter how minor or severe your problems are. We all need help from an objective and compassionate person who has been educated to help us see ourselves and our circumstances from a whole new perspective and to help us navigate through them to a much better place. We all have what we need within us, but most of the time it takes a 3rd party person to to help us find those strengths and apply them to keep moving to higher ground! Thank you Robert for being there, weekends, evenings, etc. You have gone out of your way to accommodate and been reliable, professional, supportive and very helpful!
