Who is Dr. Jan Roberts?

Dr. Jan Roberts, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in New York and Florida. With over 20 years of experience in mental health, Dr. Roberts brings an integrative, depth-oriented approach to her work with individuals and couples.

While her clinical training includes a wide range of modalities—such as EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and somatic processing—her work is especially grounded in Jungian psychology and the principles of depth analysis.

Jungian psychology recognizes that symptoms—whether anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles—often signal deeper, unconscious material seeking expression and integration. Dr. Roberts helps clients explore not only present-day challenges, but also the underlying patterns, symbolic images, dreams, and archetypal forces shaping their inner world.

She understands that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. By blending modern, evidence-based techniques with the timeless wisdom of depth psychology, she offers a compassionate yet direct space for clients to identify outdated patterns, reconnect with their authentic self, and move beyond the limiting imprints of trauma.

Dr. Roberts’ work has been described as empowering, insightful, and deeply respectful, guiding clients toward greater self-acceptance, meaning, and lasting change. Whether through practical tools or symbolic exploration, her goal is to support others in cultivating resilience, wholeness, and a renewed sense of possibility.

She is the Founder of Center for Integrative Mental Health and teaches graduate students at NYU.

The people who do their deepest work with me are not defined by what brought them in. Depression, anxiety, addiction, an exhausting relationship, a career that no longer fits, the sense that something essential is missing — these are doorways, not destinations. They are rarely the real reason anyone is in the room.

What the people I work with share is harder to put on an intake form. They are tired — not just of their symptoms, but of the effort of managing the same patterns again and again. And underneath the fatigue, something quieter has begun to stir: curiosity. A willingness to ask not only how do I make this stop, but what is this asking of me, and what part am I playing in keeping it alive.

That question changes everything. It is the difference between wanting relief and wanting to understand — and while both are legitimate, only one leads to lasting change.

I work across the full range of psychological suffering, with people of every background and circumstance. My deepest specialization is with women moving through the upheaval of midlife, when a long-built identity begins to loosen and something truer starts pressing through. But the orientation I bring is the same for everyone who finds their way here: that your symptoms are purposeful, that the unconscious has something to say, and that the most important work is learning to hear it.

This may be your work if:

• You are tired of your current way of coping and suspect, quietly, that it has stopped working.
• You are curious as much as frustrated — open to the possibility that your suffering is pointing somewhere.
• You are willing to look at your own role, not only your circumstances. (This is the hardest and most fertile ground.)
• You have tried other approaches and found them useful but not deep enough.
• You want to be understood, not managed — and then you want to change at a level that actually holds.

If you recognize yourself in those lines, the issue that brought you here matters far less than the readiness you're bringing to it. That readiness is what I work with.
