Robert DiRoma Jr.
Drug & Alcohol Counselor, LMSW, LADC
Robert DiRoma, Jr. was born in Stamford, CT as the first of fraternal twins. While growing up and in high school he realized how family, friends, and at times complete strangers would strike up conversation and begin telling him their life story in intimate detail. As he got older he realized how humbling this experience could be, listening to others life experiences and giving them the avenue to express themselves while at times providing suggestions.
Robert found Social Work as an avenue to help others in a professional manner. Why Robert seeked out Social Work was because this profession takes into account not just the persons experience or psyche but also how the environment impacts an individual.
Robert obtained his Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University while working in mental health and substance abuse facilities. He utilizes techniques in his practice including CBT, motivational interviewing, and dynamic therapy to create a holistic therapeutic alliance that facilitates healing.
