Lisa Roberts

Biography

Lisa supports the Counseling Center both as a Peer Support Specialist and as the first face you see when you walk in for help with scheduling. When asked about herself, she said, “I’m Lisa Roberts, a Peer Support Specialist. My passion is helping others and supporting them in any way I can. As a Peer Support Specialist, I play an important role in educating clients about their conditions, advocating for patients, coordinating care, and providing social supports to achieve recovery goals. I’m trained and certified to help individuals with lived experience in mental health and/or substance use recovery, providing support, mentoring, guidance, and advocacy to those facing challenges.

When I’m not at work, I love to hike, rockhound, fish, kayak, and spend time with my family. I love dogs, and my Aussie-doodle, Dude, is the joy of my life.”
