Mary E. Roberts, MA, LPC, LMHC PhD Candidate: Counselor Education and Supervision
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State, and an "approved" clinical supervisor. I'm also a PhD Candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision where I study stigma as a tool of oppression. I received a Master of Arts degree from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR in 2012,
I have clinical and supervisory experience in a variety of settings including community clinics, private practice, advocacy agencies, and by distance.
My counseling approach is relational, collaborative, and pulls from both Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic traditions within a framework of anti-oppression, empowerment models.
My clinical supervision approach is both developmental and "here and now." I primarily reference Stoltenberg's (1998) Integrative Developmental Model of clinical supervision, and Bernard's (1979) Discrimination Model, updated to include Common Factors research. Overarching these models is a sustained belief in a highly professional, deeply engaged supervisory alliance.
In addition to counseling and clinical supervision, I work as a counselor educator, where I approach teaching and learning in a collaborative, constructivist way that celebrates the unique, important contributions of all people at all stages of learning.
