About Robert Wagner
Robert Wagner is a Minnesota licensed psychologist with the credential MN Psychologist LP4010, indicating his licensure as a psychologist in the state of Minnesota with license number LP4010. He brings two decades of experience working in chemical and mental health and in services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including supervisory and management roles over the past 20 years.
He began his career serving people with co-occurring chemical and mental health conditions and continues to prioritize that work alongside support for addictions, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Robert believes that people want to feel well and that many already possess the resources needed to address their challenges; therapy, in his view, often involves knowing when and how to invite others into that process.
His therapeutic stance is person-centered - he approaches clients with curiosity, warmth, and belief in their capacity to change. He uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention, combined with a solution-focused orientation when appropriate. He emphasizes practical work outside of sessions while offering compassionate, respectful honesty in the therapeutic relationship.
Robert's personal experience with a spinal cord injury on December 26, 2004, has informed his professional understanding of loss, transformation, and life adaptation. That lived perspective complements his clinical work with people facing disability, addiction, grief, and major life change.

Robert works with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.
