Melba (Fran) Roberts

Melba (Fran) Roberts believes that even the most painful times can lead to healing when people receive the right support. She recognizes that loss appears in many forms - including the loss of a job, home, marriage, and the death of loved ones - and brings both education and hands-on experience to help individuals navigate those losses.

She is a Colorado-licensed professional counselor, authorized to practice in the state (license LPC0004603). Roberts earned an M.A. in Counseling and Human Services from the University of Colorado and spent nine years at Pikes Peak Hospice working as a grief counselor. Over the course of her career she has accumulated nine years of clinical experience.

Roberts specializes in grief, dying, and life-limiting illness, and also works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She approaches each client and every session with compassion, humility, and respect, drawing from a range of theoretical and practical techniques with client-centered therapy as her primary orientation.

Her practice is intended to provide an emotionally safe space where people can give voice to their pain at their own pace, moving toward healing and wholeness. She has helped numerous people recover from the pain of loss and is available to support others through similar journeys.
