Michelle Roberts, LCSW

Hi, I’m Michelle.

For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside people navigating some of life’s most complex and painful experiences. What continues to draw me to this work is the opportunity to create space where people can explore their stories with curiosity, care, and honesty.

I believe meaningful change begins when we slow down enough to understand the patterns that shape our lives — how past experiences influence our relationships, our responses to stress, and the ways our bodies carry those experiences forward.

The name The Whole Story reflects this philosophy. Healing rarely comes from focusing on one moment or one problem. It comes from understanding the fuller context of who you are, where you’ve been, and how those experiences live in both your mind and body.

It is a privilege to walk alongside people in this process.

What does LCSW mean?

Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

This means I have completed advanced graduate training, clinical supervision, and state licensure requirements to provide psychotherapy.

My training as a social worker also shapes how I understand people and their experiences. Rather than viewing challenges in isolation, social work emphasizes the broader systems that influence our lives, relationships, culture, family history, and social context.

This perspective allows me to approach therapy with both compassion and curiosity, recognizing that each person’s story is shaped by many layers of experience.

Where I’ve Been

I bring over 10 years of experience in mental health and social work, with work spanning clinical, community, and nonprofit settings.

Throughout my career, I have supported:

• adults navigating trauma and complex life transitions
• teenagers and families in residential mental health care
• individuals with developmental differences
• families experiencing housing instability
• teams of care providers and volunteers in nonprofit organizations

Working alongside people in these spaces has deeply shaped how I approach therapy today.

Over time, I’ve come to see that the experiences that feel confusing, painful, or overwhelming often trace back to earlier moments when our systems were trying to adapt and survive.

My work focuses on helping people understand these patterns, develop deeper awareness of their bodies and responses, and begin to relate to themselves and others in new ways.
