Robert Gordon, PhD, LMFT

 

I’ve sat in the same wood chair for thirty-five years.

My professional journey began in 1982. A quick stop at Covenant Theological Seminary led to studies in beautiful, downtown Saint Louis University where I earned two degrees, a Masters degree in Educational Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Marriage & Family Therapy.

Along the way I picked up my professional license (MLFT), built a significant private practice, and later founded a non-profit organization called CrossRoads Christian Counseling, the business that thinks like a mission.

I live with the love of my life (40+ years strong), and continue to care for the hearts of our adult children, aged 28 and 32, and new arrival, granddaughter Evie. We live in suburbia with a cat and suffer an occasional squirrel in the garage. Chesterfield Presbyterian (PCA) has been our church home for over twenty years.

I specialize in personal and marital growth, affair-related difficulties, family and step-family issues, parenting teens, leadership & problem-solving, relational coaching, and working with church workers and missionaries. I meet with clients in St. Louis and not-St.-Louis (can you say Zoom). My mentors at a distance have been pastor Tim Keller, scholar C.S. Lewis, and friend Dan Allender, psychologist extraordinaire.

Along with a partner, Brian Carlin I founded, serve, and write for a non-profit called InterConnected. Through a multi-year, finely-crafted group experience our curriculum helps men find each other, tell their stories, explore the brokenness of life, and celebrate each other through a revitalized gospel. The group room is often noisy as boys are boys no matter their age.
