Roberta The Author
“Roberta presents a simple message. She doesn’t overwhelm you and she’s not so “psychological” that I can understand what she’s trying to convey. All that other lingo is too much and hard to understand. Her Parenting Made Easy concept is easy in a memorable way.”
-Susan B., Real Estate broker

Her articles on parenting skills have appeared in Women's News, Spotlight Magazine, Suburban Parents and Trader Kids Scarsdale Inquirer, Westchester Family Magazine.
For several years she wrote a monthly column for “Inside WC” entitled Parenting Made Easy.
Initially, her knowledge came from the professional training she received from Columbia University, but as she continued helping people and continued lecturing, her insight and experience became so valuable to so many people, that she decided to write books and articles.

Roberta the Therapist
“Roberta helped me so much in every aspect of my life. Basically, she gave me the strength and tools to deal with my family that I knew I had, but was somewhat buried.”
- Lesley S., social work er
Roberta Roth prides herself on NOT being like most therapists. Her philosophy has always been NOT to dwell in the past (since you can’t change that).
Her belief in helping clients get better through brief therapy, rather than keeping them dependent on her for years, has helped her to empower hundreds of her private patients.
Through the combination of Cognitive- Behavioral therapy (if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel) and a strong belief in partnering with clients to solve problems through Strategic Therapy (creating strategies and problem solving) she has been incredibly successful.
Roberta likes to say “Give me a motivated client, and we can create miracles!” Her counseling skills have improved interpersonal dynamics and communications for hundreds of individuals and families.
Her ability to “put herself in her client’s shoes” gives her a unique vantage point of empathy and objectivity that helps her to identify patterns in people’s live that just aren’t working. Together, with her client, they are able to clearly see the pitfalls of repeated maladaptive behavior, so they can make changes together. Her goal is to help people by initially allowing them to lean on her, and then lets them soar on their own.
Talking is the key. She is a therapist that talks, teaches and explains. “Without talking to your clients and coming up with hypothesis that you see (and they need to verify), you can keep people imprisoned in treatment for years” - and that is not her goal. A happy and satisfied client will get better and refer people and that is how she has built an important and satisfying practice for both herself and her many clients.
She often prides herself on saying, “I am in the business of change.” And change is what people want. Whether she is doing therapy, lecturing or writing, Roberta has a “can do” approach that is infectious and highly effective.
“Roberta has been my “lifesaver. My time spent with her has been very meaningful and important. It’s refreshing to be with someone who is always positive. I can not express how thankful I am for all her help. ”
- John B. Entrepreneur and business owner.

Roberta the Parenting Expert
“Roberta has helped me understand my children a lot more than I thought I did. She has given me hope. I know that if I can breathe and take a step back while I’m in a stressful parenting situation I have a choice of what the outcome will be.”
-Louise W. Advertising Executive
When she started her private psychotherapy practice, Roberta Roth was determined NOT to be dictated by managed care and insurance companies.
She asked herself, “How can I build a practice without bureaucracy?” The answer was evident-“Become a speaker- get yourself out these and when audiences like you and like what you have to say, they will come to see you for help.” It worked!
Roberta started talking about parenting since that would draw in large audiences, which it did, and has just expanded her topics from there.
After 12 years, that has been the right answer. Yet something almost “magical” happened along the way- what developed through research, actually doing therapy and Roberta’s own life experience was a creation of TRUTHS- what worked for families and what didn’t.
Roberta's unique philosophy has led to an entity called PARENTING MADE EASY. She has produced the first of a CD/Workbook series entitled "Surviving Your Teenager" plus 16 Downloadable Parenting Reports and 3 Tip Books and a new book, The Frazzled Family.” Her approach is easy and effective: parents are overly stressed today. Their behavior strongly mirrors their child's behavior.
As an expert in parenting skills, Roberta combines psycho-education and coaching to help parents make positive and easy changes to their interactions with family members in her practice.
Roberta received her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education. She earned her Masters of Science degree in Social Work from Columbia University which enables her to combine teaching and therapy to create an effective multi-level approach.
“Roberta really understood my situation and has helped me walk a “fine line” without punishing my son. She’s so skilled at that.
Working with Roberta on a one on one basis has helped because she has tailored her advice to my family needs.”
-Deborah B., homemaker

Roberta the Grandmother, Mother & Wife
Roberta has been married 39 years and has 2 adult daughters, 34 and 30 plus a granddaughter 3 and a 2 year old grandson.
A good deal of the work she does is based on her own experience-
Being a mother in the 1970’s was a “labor of love,” but admittedly Roberta felt that she was often flying by the seat of her pants. Since she was not a therapist when her children were young, she made a lot of mistakes parents make today, so it makes it EASY for her to understand them, giving her a unique vantage point.
Although her daughters turned out to be lovely young women, she now coaches hundreds of families on the “right way” to bring up kids. You can often hear her say to her clients and lecture attendees, “this is my gift to you,”
Her knowledge comes from a combination of lecturing and trying different strategies with clients over the years- and she has embraced the techniques that work.
Her challenge today is to enjoy her grandchildren, which she does, without telling her children what to do!
Her 39 year marriage has been so successful, that she uses it as a model for couples counseling and to help clients deal with relationships in general. She often says that the secret of marriage is “giving 90%” and expecting maybe 10%.
“Sharing your life experiences and your family stories with me has helped me so much in my recovery. Thank you for all your caring, your knowledge and for just being you.”
-Alicia D., homemaker
