Mr. Robert John Townley, LMHC, SUDP
Preferred Name: John
About Me
I specialize in helping people move beyond trauma, anxiety, and stuck patterns that haven’t shifted with talk therapy alone. My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on creating lasting change. As an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, I’ve guided many clients and therapists through the EMDR process with care, clarity, and expertise.
Education & Experience
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) in Washington State, and an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Whitworth University in Spokane, and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Eastern Washington University. I also completed two additional years of post-bachelor study in Addiction Studies at EWU’s Spokane Riverside Extension.
