Who We Are
Agenda Counseling & Wellness (ACW) is a culturally grounded mental health practice serving historically underserved and marginalized communities—especially LGBTQIA+ people and Black and Brown folx—or anyone aligned with our values. We offer identity-affirming, trauma-informed care so you don’t have to shrink, code-switch, or over-explain yourself. Using CBT, EMDR, person-centered and culturally responsive methods, we help clients move from survival to alignment. Whether redefining relationships, processing trauma, recovering from burnout, or entering a new chapter, ACW provides collaborative, grounded therapy to help you reclaim power, clarify values, and define your own agenda.
First on the Agenda is Healing.
Meet the Therapist
If you’re looking for a therapist who will challenge you, affirm you, and keep it real—you’re in the right place.
Shaq Roberts, LCSW, LISW-CP, is the Owner and Clinical Director of Agenda Counseling & Wellness. As a queer Black male clinician, Shaq understands firsthand the layered realities of navigating identity, ambition, vulnerability, and systemic pressure. His work is rooted in liberation, cultural humility, and empowering clients to live boldly, even in spaces that were not designed with them in mind.
Shaq specializes in trauma, anxiety, high-functioning burnout, identity exploration, and relationship dynamics, including queer and polyamorous relationships. His approach blends clinical precision with warmth, directness, and authenticity. Clients often describe him as grounding, insightful, and affirming — someone who challenges them while making them feel deeply seen.
With experience across outpatient therapy, higher levels of care, and telehealth practice across multiple states, Shaq brings both clinical depth and real-world understanding to his work. He is passionate about expanding access to culturally responsive care and building a practice model that prioritizes integrity, excellence, and community impact.
For Shaq, therapy is not about conforming to society’s expectations — it’s about helping you define your own.
