David Roberts, LPC

He decided early in life that he would focus his time and talents toward making the world and his community better than he found it–one person or family at a time. After graduating with high honors from Idaho State University, with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, he returned to Idaho State where he earned a master’s degree in counseling. David is now a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor with a Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy orientation. As a graduate student, he majored in marital, couples, and family counseling, and has since accumulated many years of additional experience counseling individuals and families struggling with trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and sever and persistent mental illness.

David is married and blessed with three wonderful children. As an armature astronomer, David enjoys hosting star parties, so that others can enjoy the beauties of the night sky through a telescope.
