Michelle Roberts, LCSW

Hey, I’m Michelle! I became a therapist because I cannot think of a better way to spend my time than creating space for the stories that need to be told. Other things I love: cooking at a leisurely pace, perusing the local library, anticipating upcoming travel plans, and long conversations unpacking what justice means.

It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be trusted to carry your story with you. I want you to feel welcomed and safe in the therapy "room" and I hope this will be a space you can explore, ask the tough questions, and experience real healing and growth.

What does LCSW mean?

Licensed Clinical Social Worker! This means I have been through a rigorous schooling, training and examination process and am licensed by the State of California to provide therapy services. It also means my education has specifically trained me to view social issues through the lens of oppression & justice. If you have more questions about this, please ask me during our free consultation call!

Where I’ve Been

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health and social work fields. My journey so far has been rich in diversity, including:

Working with people managing persistent mental health and substance use diagnoses
Providing therapy for teenagers and their families in a residential mental health program
Caring for adults with developmental differences
Walking with families who overcame homelessness
Leading a team of care providers & coaching volunteers in the nonprofit world

Through my work with these resilient people I’ve come to believe that those spaces in our lives that feel out of control, painful, terrifying, or just baffling usually come back to one or a collection of experiences of trauma. I feel especially passionate about locating the roots that underlie areas of pain and unhealth and walking together toward healing.
