Dr. Rogers’s Approach To Therapy

Dr. Rogers combines empathetic, attuned listening with evidence-based treatment methods, ensuring that she is sensitive to each client’s unique context and differences.  She works from a client-centered foundation, rooted in the adaptive information processing model (AIP) which undergirds EMDR. When appropriate, Dr. Rogers also integrates CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) with intentionality.  In each session, she works with clients to identify areas of resilience, develop self-compassion, and establish practical steps to reach therapy goals.  Dr. Rogers values forming authentic and collaborative relationships with clients as they move towards growth and healing.
