Roxanne Grobbel, J.D.. LCSW
EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Trainer
Roxanne Grobbel’s professional aspiration has always been to help others. While in high school she initially considered becoming a social worker but her path took a detour when she decided to pursue law school. It didn’t take long however for Roxanne to realize that law wasn’t her true passion. She decided to return to school and obtain a master’s degree in social work and she has never looked back. That decision set herself on a rewarding and accomplished professional journey.
Roxanne’s dedication and advocacy for mental health grew while working with some of Florida’s most vulnerable high risk children living in poverty. These early experiences provided valuable insight into the impact of childhood trauma on individuals throughout their lives. Roxanne developed expertise as both a play therapist and instructor in Play Therapy, offering training at local, state, and national levels.
Roxanne pursued additional training in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as she recognized that this specialized approach was what was needed to effectively treat trauma. Building upon her existing clinical skills of connecting with clients on an emotional level, suspending judgment, following their lead, and practicing reflective listening, EMDR proved highly effective in accelerating treatment outcomes.
