Waitlist for new clients.
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 therapy is a process of building a more loving, meaningful connection with yourself. My role is to support you in that process with compassion, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience.
I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating experiences such as:
I am passionate about creating an inclusive and affirming space, particularly for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent individuals.
My therapeutic style is flexible and tailored to your needs. I approach care through a trauma-informed lens and draw from several modalities to support healing, growth, and self-understanding.
Together, we’ll explore what helps you feel more connected, grounded, and like yourself.
For me, this work is all about being witness to and honoring the journey that you, your family, and relationship may be going through. Whether they are periods marked by conflict, confusion, hope, or joy, I believe that every moment we experience has something to teach us if we have the right mindset.
While my individual, familial, and couples work is all a bit different, they’re all united by one big thing: I help to break out of the pattern that everyone in the room seems to know but can’t figure out a way to change. I’ve helped families deal with parent-child conflict and estrangement, divorce and co-parenting concerns, and communication issues. I’ve guided couples preparing for marriage, healing from infidelity, and those doing the messy work of restructuring after divorce. I’m equipped to work with all sorts of individuals as well, but I have a soft spot for young men who are trying to figure out their place in the world. I’m here to challenge you to explore yourself and discover the best version of you, and offer support during times in life where that just doesn’t feel possible.
My approach integrates both “top-down” and “bottom-up” ways of working. We may use insight and reflection to understand the thoughts, beliefs, relationship patterns, and experiences that shape how you respond to the world. We may also work more directly with emotions, physical sensations, and the nervous system to develop greater capacity to tolerate and respond to difficult experiences. Therapy with me helps you to not just think differently, but to feel the world differently too. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and a variety of other therapeutic styles to tailor your therapy experience to what works best for you. My feminist and anti-racist background makes me sensitive to the power dynamics built into the therapeutic relationship, and it is deeply important to explore complex identities and dynamics to make our sessions as collaborative and liberatory as possible.
