Robert Benson Sanoshy is Your Sassy Therapist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, keynote speaker, author, and college professor based out of Chicago. Robert has been sought out for his signature sass, candor, and unique ability to reach listeners in a way that encourages them to work as hard as he is, using themselves as the vessel for learning and growth. The sass is intentional and purposeful--designed to empower you.

Robert has over two decades of direct practice working with families and individuals who have experienced trauma, utilizing a relational approach and a focus on resiliency to help clients heal. In addition to being an expert on trauma treatment, Robert works extensively with the LGBTQ+ community, emerging adults and fabulous women of a certain age.

Robert has spoken at over 30 national conferences on topics ranging from treating and preventing sexual abuse, LGBTQ issues, cultural sensitivity and he has lectured extensively on compassion fatigue. He has presented these keynotes and workshops for a number of communities and professionals ranging from Native American Tribes, foster and adoptive families, judges, lawyers, school systems and community organizations, as well as corporations.

Robert encourages and expects his listeners to confront what it is they think they know about themselves and question the definitions society has placed on all of us. He uses humor, his own history, tough questions, and frankness, encouraging listeners to ponder “hmmm” in ways they haven't before.

You might not be his client, but for now, he is your sassy therapist.
