About Robert A. Pence, LLC
My Story
The Seeds
I became a therapist in 2014 and have worked with youth, adolescents, and adults in schools, homes, residential facilities, and outpatient settings. Over the past 10 years, the one theme that I found to be true in all of my work is that each person, family, community, and group were all seeking their own version of wellness - to live their lives to the fullest extent and to have the capability to face their challenges with courage and hope. I full-heartedly believe that this can be achieved and that Panoptic Wellness™ provides the framework needed to help at any stage of the lifelong wellness journey. Whether you are just getting started or have been doing this for decades, I am here to help guide, support, teach, and encourage through every step of the way.
The Growth
I enrolled in a Wellness Counselor certification program in 2015 and immediately fell in love with wellness. Since that time, I have incorporated wellness approaches and strategies in my traditional psychotherapy work. After becoming a father near the beginning of the pandemic, I began to notice that the traditional psychotherapy approach could only go so far to address the ever-changing needs of my clients. I also noticed that I had to question my own wellness practices and push myself to find new and creative ways fulfill my own needs, due to the shutdowns and changes in my personal life. These experiences watered the seeds that began to sprout over the next few years and ultimately culminated in opening my own practice. This also led to my creation of the new Wellness Wedges Model™ and Panoptic Wellness™.
