I truly believe that the goal of therapy is learning how to become your own best friend. When this becomes your reality, you can handle anything that life brings your way.
I specialize in counseling creative, gifted, and/or highly sensitive adults… or anyone who feels as if they don’t fit in. I approach therapy from a trauma informed lens and recognize how society, religion, politics, and family of origin can contribute to chronic invalidation and complex trauma. I am passionate about providing safe, affirming care for transgender and non-binary individuals, LGBTQIA+ folx, neurodivergent, and BIPOC clients.
Mindfulness is the core work because it is the key to applying self-love. I incorporate DBT skills which are evidence based and highly effective. I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS)... the idea that we all have a family of parts within. These parts can get triggered and manifest as difficult thoughts and/or unskillful behaviors. In therapy you learn to transform these parts by giving them access to unconditional love. I also use EMDR and hypnosis to help facilitate this process as appropriate.
I am a board certified LPCC clinical supervisor and enjoy empowering new clinicians as they develop their unique therapy voice. I provide clinical supervision using the “Therapist as Self” model which means who you are and your life experiences matter and contribute to who you are as a therapist.
If you are interested in being on my waitlist for therapy or in connecting for individual or group clinical supervision, please email me at roberta@bluebirdcounselingllc.com
My work is grounded in the belief that reconnecting with your sense of self is at the heart of healing. I specialize in supporting adults with trauma (PTSD/C-PTSD), grief and loss (pet loss/non-death losses), and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. I have interest in mental health care related to reproductive and hormonal health (PMDD, PCOS, and perimenopause). I work with women and other people affected by these conditions, including trans and non-binary clients. I enjoy working with artists and creative individuals, helping them navigate the distinct emotional and psychological challenges of a creative life.
I am trained in EMDR, evidence-based Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS). I integrate mindfulness and DBT skills to enhance emotion regulation and self-expression. My person-centered approach emphasizes your inherent strengths, fostering empowerment and authentic healing at your own pace.
My style is structured yet approachable — trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive to diverse backgrounds and identities. I am also kink-aware and sex-positive, and welcome clients from the BDSM community and those in non-traditional relationship structures.
I believe that healing is a gradual process that often unfolds when you can access your inner strengths. My goal in providing counseling is to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic space where you feel safe and empowered to reconnect with yourself and heal.
I specialize in therapy for adult survivors of trauma and individuals navigating substance use challenges. Many of the clients I support are also dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, shame, attachment wounds, self-esteem, and interpersonal issues. I approach this important work with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for your unique story.
My therapeutic style is flexible and tailored to meet your needs. I draw from Narrative Therapy to empower you to reshape your life story, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you heal core wounds through self-compassion and self-love, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist you in examining and challenging beliefs that may be holding you back. Our work may include somatic practices to help you feel grounded and relaxed, aiding in the release of stored trauma. Together, we’ll discover what helps you feel more understood and more like yourself.
I welcome adults from all backgrounds and value creating an inclusive and affirming space, particularly for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent individuals.
