About Robert Kirk
Mr. Kirk received an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Temple University and his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Thomas Jefferson University. After working in the Neuro/Trauma ICU at Thomas Jefferson University, from Unit Clerk to Nurse Manager, Mr. Kirk decided to go back to school and earn his masters degree in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of Pennsylvania. He is passionate about the field of neuropsychiatry and the interplay of human behavior on neurobiological conditions. 

Mr. Kirk's training and experience in neurology and psychiatry makes him an ideal member of the CNNH team. "I tend to first evaluate individuals with behavioral concerns with a neurobiological lens" comments Mr. Kirk. "I then further evaluate the situation with my psychological-behavioral lens." 

The treatment philosophy that CNNH practices is also aligned with Mr. Kirk's professional training and philosophy. "I have always held a strong belief about approaching health from a holistic manner. I believe that a holistic treatment, complimented with offering a strong support system to patients and their families promotes a sense of hope and healing. I am so pleased that CNNH values this approach, too."
