Dawn Roberts, LSW, MHP
Counselor/Mental Health Professional
​(she/her)

Dawn Roberts is a dedicated mental health counselor with a deep passion for supporting individuals in underserved communities. After many years in IT, she sought a more impactful and meaningful career, which led her back to school. She earned a Master’s in Social Work and is now pursuing a PhD in Population Health at Southern Illinois University, focusing on PTSD and opioid use disorder (OUD), particularly among veterans.
​
Dawn returned to her roots here in Carbondale after living in multiple cities around the U.S. and pursuing her love of motorcycle riding around the Southwest. She’s an advocate for rural health and accessibility, particularly for veterans and individuals impacted by trauma. Dawn’s research on resilience during conflict has informed her compassionate, evidence-based counseling approach.

In her free time, Dawn enjoys riding and working on her motorcycles, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with her dogs, friends, and family. She is thrilled to be part of the Rainbow Community Health & Wellness team, where she brings her diverse experience and a strong commitment to improving mental health care for all.
