Specializing in pre/post-marital counseling, pre/post-divorce guidance for both couples and individuals, infidelity issues, sex therapy, life transitions, and women's health, I advocate for proactive interventions to help clients surmount current challenges.
Navigating marriage and relationships can pose significant challenges. I assist clients across various facets of their lives, including conflict management, financial concerns, commitment issues, sex therapy, communication problems, and navigating divorce. Even if your marriage seems strained, seeking professional guidance can provide you with the necessary tools to cultivate joy within your relationship. The prospect of divorce can leave one feeling directionless, without closure or support. I offer assistance in transitioning towards a brighter future, as there's always more to life beyond this single experience.

Specialties include: relationships, anger management, communication, self esteem, divorce recovery, and issues of faith.
Moving through life is like writing a book. We are all composing our own stories. Sometimes we get stuck, due to choices, events or behaviors. It’s like a bookmark getting put in the pages of our story and when we try to move forward, the pages fall open to that bookmarked, painful memory. With the help of therapy, we can heal from that pain and take the bookmark out of the book of our life. The pages remain, but they serve to make us stronger & wiser as we fill in the empty page before us today. By learning new skills and gaining the ability to adapt, we can move forward with a sense of purpose and peace.

My aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and understanding environment where men can openly address and work through a range of issues, including trauma, sexual abuse, divorce, erectile dysfunction, anxiety, anger and relationships dynamics.
Welcome to a space where understanding and resilience meet. I am Stephen Rodgers, a therapist deeply committed to specializing in men's issues and trauma. In a world that frequently leans on men for strength, it's essential to acknowledge that everyone, at times, faces challenges that seem insurmountable. Whether it’s the weight of past experiences or the complexities of anxiety and depression impacting your relationships, habits, and emotional wellbeing, these struggles can be both bewildering and disheartening, especially when juxtaposed with societal expectations of unwavering self-sufficiency.

Divorce Therapists

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
