Melisa Roberts, LCSW

I am a clinical social worker with ample experience with adolescents, especially in the school environment, and more recently adults/couples as well. Mood disorders, depression, anxiety, learning issues, and Autism Spectrum are some areas of specialty with treatment modalities based in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is inspired that you have begun the search to find support for yourself or loved one, as seeking therapy is a vulnerable step. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois–Chicago Jane Addams. I have spent several years as a school social worker in a therapeutic elementary school prior to working as a high school social worker in a western suburb for the last 15 giving me ample experience with children, adolescents, and families from a variety of demographics.
I firmly believe in meeting my clients where they are at by creating a safe space to be either in person or virtually. We can sit, walk, dance and be creative with what works best for you!
