I have a passion for working with adolescents and young adults, helping them navigate life and helping them to identify and develope lasting skills that will follow them into adulthood. Life can be difficult and sometimes simply having someone to listen, really listen can be instrumental in navigating through those trying times.

Have you experienced trauma, stress or loss in your life? The answer is yes, we all have a different tolerance for the things life throws at us. Everyday we experience adversities that can add up over our lifetime. Unfortunately, we live in a society that too often has a "forget about it and move on" attitude. I want to help you slow down and really look at how your life journey has impacted your overall mental health. My goal is to create a safe place for you or your child to begin understanding how these stressors are impacting your life. I want to normalize the importance of self awareness, communication and self love.

Stress is a fixture in all of our lives. Many people are living with trauma. Dealing with stress and trauma alone is hard and I want you to feel good.

In life, there are many obsticles that we have to face. Sometimes we just need to find different coping strategies to help us change the things that aren't working in our life. My belief is that everyone has the innate capacity for personal growth. Fostering individuals to obtain a healthier understanding of themselves and their emotional world is part of my job. Counseling offers us the opportunity to identify the factors that contribute to difficulties and to deal effectively with the psychological, behavioral, interpersonal and situational causes of those difficulties.

Are you struggling with depression? Do you have traumas or other difficult experiences that you haven’t been able to move forward from? Are you in a relationship and struggling to make it work? I am here to help. If you are wanting to move past difficult things in your life and want to start making progress toward things that matter to you, you’re in the right place.

Are you struggling with your relationships, depression, anxiety, and past trauma? Perhaps you have experienced sexual abuse in your past and you are having trouble with current relationships. Are you a juvenile who has committed a sexual offense? Counseling can help. I use EMDR, it is a type of therapy that can be done to address those memories and clear a path to a happier, healthier you. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a therapy that can help people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Here is a link to a video to introduce you to EMDR: https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY

As a psychologist, I partner with clients to help them heal from raw emotional pain, recognize their inner strengths, and build resiliency in the face of life’s biggest challenges. My style is one that is warm and nurturing while also direct and honest. If you’re feeling stuck, not good enough, lonely, overwhelmed, devastated, or ashamed, you are not alone. I have dedicated my career to learning gold standard treatments to ensure that when clients have the courage to reach out for help, I am able to offer treatment interventions that they can trust will make a difference.

I offer individual, family and couples psychotherapy in a supportive environment. Regardless of why you're seeking therapy, I'm here to help you. Do you ever wonder why you repeat the same patterns in your relationships? Do you find yourself thinking the same negative thoughts? If so, you're not alone. To be heard and understood is a basic human need. It's hard to find someone to talk to and someone who will listen. Together we'll explore the connection between your behaviors, thoughts and feelings and how you can learn to control them.

“I feel lost and alone” “I feel uncomfortable in my own skin” “I worry about things out of my control” “I feel like I let my loved ones down” “I feel so disconnected from my partner”. These thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Together we will work to find solutions that work best for YOU. You are the expert in your own story. Life is full of challenges and I believe seeking support can be one of the toughest challenges we face. By looking at my profile, you’ve taken the first step to reach out for help which requires a lot of bravery - you should be so proud of yourself.

My role as a therapist is not independent, but a partnership. I am a collaborator and facilitate exploration as a means of helping to determine what best serves you and helping you to empower yourself to make desired changes. I understand that it can be awkward or stressful to make the call or take the step to talk to someone. I will do my best to help you feel safe and comfortable with me. Confidentiality is sacred. If you should find that I am not the therapist for you I will help you find someone who would be a better fit for your needs.

Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.

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.

So many things in life happen to us that are beyond our control. I believe there are emotional tools out there to help us navigate what has happened in our past, how to respond to the present and how to be successful, happy and achieve our goals in the future. I offer trauma-informed care and have experience working with couples, families, individuals, sexual assault victims, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, crisis management, PTSD and suicidal and homicidal ideation. When working wit couples I use EFT: Emotionally focused therapy helps people understand their attachments to others to improve their relationships.

I love working with teens, couples and individuals who are ready to dive deep! With 8 years of experience in the therapy field and a featured appearance on VICE News, I specialize in aiding individuals dealing with a range of challenges, including narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, complex grief, OCD, anxiety, depression, and various personality disorders. My expertise extends to existential and spiritual crises, women’s issues, toxic relationships, racial oppression, men’s issues, couples therapy, and paranormal activity. In the realm of forensics, I have work with both perpetrators of sexual offenses and victims of crime.
