Robert Wicks

Robert J. Wicks is an American clinical psychologist and writer whose work sits at the crossroads of psychology and spirituality. He has spent more than three decades teaching in universities and professional schools focused on psychology, medicine, nursing, theology, and social work, and he is also listed as Professor Emeritus at Loyola University Maryland.

He has written extensively for both general readers and professionals, with publishers describing him as the author of more than sixty books. Across his work, he returns again and again to themes like resilience, self-care, compassion, and how to stay grounded while serving others.

That mix of therapist, teacher, and spiritual guide gives his writing a calm, companionable quality. Readers often come to his books for thoughtful help with stress, burnout, meaning, and the everyday challenge of living with greater steadiness and heart.
