Nice to meet you,

I’m Shaq Roberts, a licensed social worker with a passion for mental health and the needs of the LGBTQ+ and QPOC communities. As a Queer Person of Color, I have intentionally and specifically catered my education and work experience to match that of my life experience. This has driven me to pursue my Bachelor’s in Counseling Psychology and Social Work at East Stroudsburg University or Pennsylvania, as well as a Master’s of Social Work at Capella University.

I believe in utilizing an eclectic approach to therapy, pulling from various evidence-based modalities such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Trauma-Informed Care. This approach allows me to tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs and strengths of each individual I work with. I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive care, and I am committed to creating a safe and affirming environment for clients to explore their identities and experiences. As a Queer Person of Color myself, I understand the importance of representation in the mental health field, and I am dedicated to empowering others to find healing and growth within themselves.

I truly thrive in catering to the direct needs of our community. I have provided surgery letters for Gender Affirming Surgeries, connected folks to identity-affirming medical/behavioral health care, and provided therapeutic interventions to help folks explore their gender identity and sexuality. I strive to continually make an effort to improve the quality of life for the QPOC community through advocacy, amplifying voices, community engagement, and direct delivery of mental health services. It is my hope to continue empowering folks to become their most authentic selves and learn to heal and cope. I’m looking forward to meeting you.
