Margaret Roberts,

Hi, I’m Margaret Roberts (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Rochester.

My Background

I started my career working with uninsured and underinsured individuals, couples, and families, as well as those who did not have access to healthcare. I’ve worked with clients in exploring and identifying cultural strengths, promoting intersectionality, growth and healing, and advocacy.

I have experience in marriage and family counseling, as well as therapy for children within the context of their families to assist them with issues affecting the entire system.

Approaching Therapy

Everyone has unique experiences that have led them to this moment in their lives, and their feelings and thoughts about it are valid. No matter where you are today, I will help guide and encourage you with acceptance, humor, kindness, and compassion. I welcome you to therapy if you are looking for help with boundaries, cohesion, and communication through working on problems stemming from trauma, identity, and relationships.  I am here to help you.

What to Expect

As your therapist, I will be supportive, share insight, challenge patterns, and cycles, and help you overcome your life barriers.

I will collaborate with you to explore your history, the present time, and how you would like to live and exist moving forward. I foster self-acceptance and personal, emotional, social, and relationship development. I am also an advocate to help you advocate for yourself within your family and community.

Techniques Training

My therapeutic style is holistic, meaning I will meet you where you are. I borrow from humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT),  acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), the constructionist perspective, psychoanalytic therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and systemic perspectives. 

Additionally, I completed Gottman Couples Therapy (Level 2) and am a DBT-informed therapist.

How I Can Help You

My primary specialties are relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I also counsel people for anger management, anxiety, attachment issues, codependency, depression, parenting issues, divorce/separation, and more.
