Meet Davia Roberts, LPC

I’m a clinician who left a ‘traditional’ career because I believe mental health shouldn’t be limited to therapy offices. It belongs in the marketplace, at dinner tables, and staff meetings.

With this belief, you’ll find me teaching about mental health at conferences, consulting companies on employee wellbeing, and sharing wellness resources online.

I specialize in the following areas:

  • trauma-informed care (specifically racial trauma)

  • burnout and compassion fatigue

  • corporate care/mental health in the workplace

  • mindfulness to support general wellbeing

  • The University of Texas at Austin, Master of Arts in Educational Psychology

    University of North Texas, Bachelor of Arts in Spanish

  • Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin (#7024-125)

WORDS OF APPRECIATION

“I was truly awed by her ability to successfully facilitate such a large group through an emotionally charged situation… made us all feel so much better... lighter.”
