About Me
Greetings! My name is Roberta Perno and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have been practicing for 15 years in the healing field of mental health. I have extensive experience working with parents, couples, and individuals exploring a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationships, sexuality, self worth, grief, adjustment, career, and several others issues that many face in their lives. We live in a world today that can be very fast paced which can make it more challenging to engage in self-care and awareness in order to address the very needs that affect over all well-being. It is my great pleasure to be able to assist you in any way possible by exploring concerns, developing a plan of action, and providing the hope and healing necessary to thrive. What an opportunity it is to go on this journey with you and I am hopeful this will be a beneficial and interactive experience for you!
For the past 7 years, I have had the distinct blessing of working for a non-for-profit Christian organization. In my current position, I consult with individuals from all over the country and even internationally on several different issues and topics of concern. My relationship with Christ is the foundation of my heart and the Holy Spirit is my guide in all that I do personally and professionally. The wisdom He imparts is what makes my job more rewarding and it is a rather amazing to witness how He can touch another through the counsel I provide. When appropriate, I will pray with clients, share Scripture, and bring to life the very personal nature of how God relates to us through compassion and love no matter what we are struggling with or going through. In my counsel, I incorporate practical counseling tips, skills, and theoretical orientations with the powerful healing that God can offer. He walks with us through the valleys and rejoices with us from the mountain tops. He is our internal Counselor and I consider my work a conduit for His love, light, and guidance in the lives of the individuals that I am so blessed to counsel.

Reviews
Roberta instantly grasped what I was going through in our first session. I felt so relieved after talking to her. She had already helped me so much.
Roberta is who everyone looks for in a counselor. She is warm, loving, sensitive to my issues, perceptive and knowledgeable. I would recommend her strongly to anyone looking for some counseling support. (I hope she doesn't become too much in demand, though, as I am jealous for my time!
I have come to love Roberta. It was a helpful outlet for me to be able to talk with a mental health professional each week about things heavy on my heart and mind. I have benefitted from her comforting words, encouragement, ideas, and prayers. I have recommended Faithful Counseling to several people, and will continue to do so. I also appreciate the longer term billing options with lower weekly costs. God knew I needed this resource in my life this year!
Roberta is very attentive and I feel she understands what I am trying to communicate. I feel that she genuinely cares for my well-being and looks for solutions to the issues I bring to her.
She is utterly amazing and knows exactly what to say and when to say it. Her wisdom and experience is evident and you can tell that she truly cares for you as a person . She is compassionate, kind, loving and caring in all the best ways!
I find Roberta very easy to talk to. She understands me very well and has great advice.
Roberta is an extremely kind and caring counselor who invests in the people she works with. I have had many different counselors throughout my life and Roberta’s thoughtfulness and caring approach has made me feel the most cared for- like she’s know me forever and wants the best for me. A very warm person while also being very knowledgeable. You will leave each session feeling like you just spoke to family but armed with tools to help you the rest of your week!
After only a few face to face sessions and many texts/messages, I feel confident that with Roberta's knowledge and expertise, she will be able to give me the guidance and support I am needing. After only three weeks, I have referred a friend from my church to Faithful Counseling. That is how confident I am in the "return" I will receive from Roberta.
I’m enjoying my sessions so far. It feels like a very space for me. Roberto is really easy to talk to.
Roberta is so kind, thoughtful and caring. Would recommend!
Roberta is a friendly counsel or. She listens and also helps you feel okay with being in current situation. I love that she knows how to make you laugh in sessions especially on days you really need it. I am always excited for our sessions and has really helped through a lot of it.
Roberta is a very knowledgable, experienced and skilled counselor. She is very encouraging and I always come away from our sessions or text messages with hope and support.
Roberta is always patient, kind, & understanding in her responses. She has helped me through a difficult part of my life and I feel like I have made great strides with her assistance of expertise in the process. I am forever grateful for Roberta. I thank God for finding Roberta as my therapist and helping me find ways to cope through my anxiety, depression and getting out of an unhealthy relationship. Thank You Roberta!
