Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am based in Illinois and I identify as a Black Therapist. I have been practicing for 14 years and I provide culturally responsible behavioral health services to adults. My role is to empower you to achieve balance between your personal, mental and emotional well-being. I am ready to assist if you are challenged with sadness/depression, achieving work/life balance, needing to make a career switch or have perinatal/postpartum concerns. I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and can assist with lactation matters as they impact mental health.
I want to meet a client where they are at, therefore where one wants to start. I am genuine and authentic and want to assist someone to get the help and resources they may need to be and feel better as a person overall. I enjoy teaching skills and am constantly learning new skills and techniques to be a better therapist. I also may push at times in order to assist one to explore further what it is they are experiencing.
I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with experience in working with adults and children from in-patient as well as out-patient settings. I have worked with teenagers and young children for over 12 years. I specialize in working with children with trauma, anxiety, and depression.
I have a heart for working with kids and teens with traumatic experiences. My passion began while I was still in high school and wanted to be a teacher. I worked in various daycare facilities as well as having my own in-home daycare and decided I wanted to help kids (and adults) in a more in-depth manner. That is when I began my journey into social work and found my true calling in life.
I have experience working with children and adolescents who have been through, or are currently in, the child welfare system as well as working with older teens with substance abuse/misuse issues.

Welcome to Grow Therapy. My name is Swan Roberts, and I am a licensed therapist, clinical social worker. I have 5 years of therapy experience. At this time, I only see adult clients. I was in the U.S. army as a medic. I am so glad you have decided to seek help, and I look forward to meeting you on this healing journey.

I have education and experience treating clients who have gone through trauma, and clients who have symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

I look at each person as an individual and use their strengths and talents to help them learn to express and walk through life's struggles.

I am a christian based counselor and will, at client request, use a faith based approach that can add an added support for the client. I am so blessed to have had this as my career and have worked with clients of all ages starting my career on the cancer center a Riley hospital for Children, moving to a locked unit with juvenile offenders ages 5-11, equine assisted therapy for at risk teens, to working with seniors in long term care or living at home. I am now doing my work from home making the progression as people have been given this as a source of support and allowing them to get help from home.

People have different “motives” that bring them to therapy. Maybe you’re the person who carries the world on your shoulders. You could be someone who struggles with finding their voice. Maybe you feel like you’ll never be enough or feel like you have to prove yourself to someone. There could be underlying motives that you may gain clarity on once you start therapy.
