Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I’ve been counseling children, teens, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years - but in my experience, that’s not really what you want to know. What you really want to know is, can I help you?

We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

Hi! You've taken the first step. Now you need to choose one among so many passionate and capable clinicians being presented to you... and it can feel daunting. For me and my ADHD brain, trying to pick a new therapist is akin to standing in front of the cereal aisle trying to decide which one is the best for me (so many choices!!).

I am a new licensed therapist but I am not new to counseling. I have spent the last 9 years as a Hospice Social Worker. I found tremendous meaning in this work and I am grateful to all who opened up their homes and hearts to me at one of the most difficult times in their lives.

As a seasoned hospice social worker, I offer support and guidance for terminal illnesses, end of life issues and bereavement.

In my new role as a therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), I lean into my passion for helping people feel visible and cared about. My style is warm and inviting and I bring humor into my work as often as possible. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients in what they are seeking support for and to foster an openness for the possibilities of life.

I'm a LPC with over 25 years in the field. I've helped people through a variety of issues. Whatever is motivating you to seek counseling, I’m here to help. Throughout my career I have seen how helpful & freeing it can be to have a safe & non-judgmental space to explore what you value. I bring warmth, compassion, humor, and insight into my work, and I try to help folks learn something new about themselves every session. This can mean the difference between just living and prospering as a person.

Some of my background...

After raising a blended family, I decided to go back to school and change careers. Therapy lets me combine two of my lifelong passions: helping others succeed and horses. I now divide my time fairly evenly between working with horses and providing therapy.

I graduated from Oakland University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I worked with a non-profit group for a year before starting my practice in 2022.

I currently reside in Northeast Michigan along the beautiful Lake Huron and have a license to practice in Michigan. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding and an overall well-being. As a clinician, I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and understood.
