Deborah P. Rogers
Having experienced a wide
variety of professional and personal interests throughout
the years allows for a broader range of tools that we can
use in our therapeutic work together. During sessions,
we might find that you benefit from drawing or
writing, in addition to the talking we do. Or we might
incorporate family photographs or music. There are
many paths that can lead you to where you would like to
go!
I enjoy working with people of various
ages and from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
And as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have
obtained the years of education and experience
necessary to provide these quality services to those in
our community.

Whether we are working with
adults or children in our sessions, we concentrate
on developing your existing strengths as we search for
clues to the things that are blocking your way. We
pace with your needs and provide a relaxed
atmosphere, which allows you the opportunity to
explore new solutions. The mind-body connection is
also considered, so several stress-reduction techniques
might be provided to compliment the insights and solutions
we develop.
Having intense emotional experiences are
something we all go through. Some are intensely happy,
while others are intensely difficult. As far as
your brain is concerned, its job is to pay special attention
to your intensely painful experiences. It's one
of those important survival functions that it needs
to perform in order to protect us. But this
default survival mode can really get in the way sometimes.
With the persistence of a child that keeps saying "I
need a drink of water, I need a drink of water, I need a
drink of water... our brains continue to repeat the message
of what we need until the message is actually received and
acknowledged. So at times we might
incorporate the technique of providing solutions,
reassurance and guidance to the "protector" parts of our
brain. Then the message-loop can begin to relax at
last.
If either you or your child has had therapy in
the past, we talk about the ways in which you felt the
experience was helpful, or not so helpful, so we can fine
tune our approach to your current
work.
