Chaazé P. Roberts, LMFT, is a licensed therapist with over 16 years of experience at The Family Institute at Northwestern University, where he continues to serve as a clinical lecturer and supervisor. He recently launched his private practice, CPR Counseling, Ltd., and works with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and groups. Chaazé is especially passionate about adolescent and men’s issues, life transitions, and culturally responsive therapy. His global travels and experience with cross-cultural and international clients deeply inform his work, with a particular commitment to serving the African American community.
In this episode, Chaaze takes us through his journey from corporate America to a life of service and healing, sharing how global travel became a spiritual sanctuary and a path to self-discovery. He opens up about receiving his West African name, Kofi Mensa, and how that moment marked a shift in his understanding of himself and his purpose. We talk about what it means to do culturally responsive therapy beyond the buzzwords, the importance of reclaiming personal agency, and how his therapeutic framework—Conscious Power Reclamation—guides both his clients and his own life. This conversation is rich with stories, wisdom, and moments of reflection on how we come to know ourselves, how we heal, and how we show up for others while staying grounded in our own truth.
