"We are not here to fit in, to be well-adjusted, or to be approved of by the world;
we are here to be who we are, in all our complexity, mystery, and quirkiness."
-James Hollis
John Rogers, MA, LPC, LPCC
I'm John Rogers, a trauma-informed therapist integrating somatic, relational, and psychodynamic approaches. It's a common human experience to feel overwhelmed, lost, or like you aren't enough. Often this is a sign that life is calling for change. You don't have to navigate this alone. Whether it's grief, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or past trauma, I'm here to walk the path with you.
My Approach
You may have tried to understand your patterns. You may have managed them, worked around them, or pushed through. But some things don't yield to willpower or insight alone — they ask to be met differently. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help you encounter what has been split off, tend to grief and attachment wounds, and find the thread back to a self that feels whole.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
— C.G. Jung
Individual Therapy
My focus is on helping you explore what's troubling you as a guide into the fuller landscape of who you are and what you're wanting for yourself. This often means making room for the parts that have been cut off or repressed: emotions we haven't named, dreams, symbols, the quieter layers of the psyche we don't usually get to visit.
“Learn to differentiate between the sound of your intuition guiding you and your traumas misleading you.”
― Laurence Heller
Trauma Informed Therapy
I'm a Master certified provider of the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a clinical approach used worldwide for working with the lasting impacts of complex and developmental trauma. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on the mind (cognitive) or the body (somatic), NARM takes an integral approach that helps you understand what's happening for you right now, holistically — how you experience your identity, your connections with others, and your own mind and body.
"In a world obsessed with attaining an illusory ideal, becoming fully human is the greatest threat."
― John Desteian
Couples and Families
My approach to couples and family therapy centers on the relationship as it is now and how it developed. I am not here to tell you how your relationship should be but to help you explore what's shaped where things are now. I help you recognize how the play of polarities—such as dependence and independence, thinking and feeling, structured and spontaneous—drives both relational tension and growth. By working through these tensions consciously, you can build a deeper and more authentic connection to yourselves and to each other.
