Therapists in Monongalia County, WV

I have always felt honored to be given the opportunity to assist others in addressing what be their most difficult time in life. My primary focus is meeting clients where they are in dealing with the reasons for seeking therapy. Building comfort and rapport is of the upmost importance and will be a theme of each session. As a clinician, I utilize a strengths baed perspective to engage the barriers that keep us from feeling our best.

Seeking help and counseling takes courage. Therapy can provide a safe place to identify struggles and find new ways to navigate challenging situations. I work with individuals who experience Veteran and/or military-related concerns; boundary setting, imposter syndrome, family of origin issues, family-related trauma, or attachment ruptures, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also prior service military and have some insight regarding this culture.

Congratulations on taking this step to work on improving your life/situation. That is a huge step and one that will be honored if you choose to work with me. I see therapy as helping people to change, not changing people. I am a client-centered therapist with over 25 years working in mental health. I have seen such a wide brush-stroke of peoples' experiences, nothing is any longer unbelievable, nor open to my judgment. These experiences include: inpatient care, high school and university educational counseling, and community-based care. My clients experiences define the concept of diversity.

If you are coping with life's challenges and want to make meaningful, impactful change, there are many options available to you. Individual, marital, and family therapy are a few of the options that I specialize in. I have been a practicing clinician for twenty years and currently possess a Master's Degree in Social Work and am a West Virginia Licensed Certified Social Worker. I have an array of professional and life experiences that work synergistically to help me in assisting clients cope with various life situations and stressors.

Do you feel like an emotional sponge? Do you experience deep emotional sensitivity? Issues around anxiety, depression, and/or expressing anger? Do you feel like you don't belong, self-esteem and self-worth issues, and experience challenging relationships? Maybe you have gone the self-help route, past therapy, yet you find yourself in the same struggles, the same relationship issues, again and again? Try something different, integrative holistic sessions to address these issues through a holistic lens and learn how to manage energy and emotions, heal relationships and your self-worth, and move forward free in your life to be you.

It is my goal to help individuals understand and resolve the challenges and effects of trauma, grief, and adversity, to restore balance in daily life.

I strive to assist individuals in achieving long-term success through various approaches, based on mutually determined therapeutic goals.

My name is Sandy Rogers. I have been working 30 yrs with individuals and their mental health and physical health. My specialities include Depression, Anxiety, Work-related stress, Addictions, LGBT topics, Emotional Transitioning Gender Identity, and Relationship Issues. I look forward to have this opportunity to go on this journey with you.

My clients frequently say they have worked with other therapists before but didn't really "get anywhere". They want to go deeper into the work of personal transformation to achieve lasting results. Beyond easing anxiety or depression they want more confidence, better relationships, better sex life, healthier work/life balance, to achieve new goals. And my clients don't want to spend the rest of their lives in therapy trying to "get there" because they want to ENGAGE in their lives and fully live! Together we create goals, interventions and measure progress along the way. If there is no progress we re-evaluate what we're doing!

As if life didn't seem tough enough already at times, we're now almost 3 years into a worldwide pandemic, so let's just say, I get it. Sometimes it may feel impossible to balance life and emotions when the world is unpredictable. There has been so much loss throughout the pandemic in many ways. Therapy is especially helpful when you're experiencing big life changes that you're unsure how to cope with or if you're caught in a cycle of unhealthy coping skills. So with that being said, I am already proud of you for taking the first step toward seeking emotional balance and escaping unhealthy behaviors, even if we never work together!
