LCSW-C

Bob earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Queens College of the City of New York in 1972 and one year later moved to Maryland to attend the University of Maryland School of Social Work and in 1975 he received a Master’s in Clinical Social Work. He later was licensed in Maryland in Clinical Social Work (LCSW-C).

After working for the Division of Corrections in a pre-release center and at Spring Grove Hospital Center, he joined the Harford County Health Department’s Community Mental Health Center, in Bel Air, providing outpatient therapy to a variety of local residents. In 1985, Bob began a part-time private practice that later became The Pinkus Group, Inc. and continued in private practice, closing his office in Bel Air in 2014. Following a brief retirement, Bob returned to clinical practice on the staff.

Preferring to work in therapy with a variety of clientele, Bob specializes in helping people through times of crisis and transition. Teenagers, young adults and others moving to and from circumstances and life situations would, in general, describe his practice. Trained as a family therapist, his work with families and marriages to improve their quality of life or successfully move through significant life events is a privilege that comes with being a therapist. In addition, Bob is comfortable treating alcoholics and addicts in recovery.
