The Dorm, an integrated young adult treatment community, is thrilled to formally introduce Robert, L. Johnson, MC, MCAP, CMHP, CST as the new Assistant Director of The Dorm’s Washington, D.C., Dupont Circle location. 

Robert brings with him an impressive, decades-long career working as a Family and Special Services Director, Clinical Director, primary clinician, and educator. He is a certified trauma therapist (C.T.T), a board-certified expert in post-traumatic stress, a board-certified sex therapist (CST), and has extensive training in psychotherapy, psychodrama therapy, and related modalities.

Robert is passionate about making a difference in the lives of young adults with a focus on care for the entire family system. “I see a family member’s recovery process as being parallel to the identified client’s”, shares Robert. “A therapist or team of therapists can often make more progress when they know the comprehensive inner workings of the complete system.”

Working alongside Site Director Sarah Harte, LICSW, Robert will be focused on continuing to grow the site’s clinical services, training the staff in exiting new treatment modalities, and supporting The Dorm, D.C.’s move to a brand new space next month. “We’re looking forward to leaving a bigger clinical footprint in the community and expanding our mission of promoting diversity, openness, and safely for all clients seeking care!” says Robert.
