Philip's approach to therapy for individuals is being a guide while recognizing the individual as the driver and creator of their success and change. I believe having an unconditional, trusting, supportive, and strength-focused relationship between you and I is the foundation of counseling and fosters the ability to recognize you can and will succeed with your personal goals. I tend to focus on how one’s emotions and thoughts affect how we make sense of the world around us. I use the present moment and mindful awareness as tools to help individuals understand their thoughts and feelings as they are, without judgment, in order to produce personalized strategies to overcome issues preventing you from living a full life. Overall, I strive to provide a nurturing and comfortable space to help all who visit me, so we can effectively process struggles, find acceptance, and develop an understanding that you are capable of making positive changes in your life.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma can show up in ways that feel overwhelming or hard to untangle—especially during periods of major life change. I’m Vivian, and I focus on providing a steady, reliable space for you to slow down and reflect. My approach centers on creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable being completely open about your experiences, helping you make sense of what you’ve been carrying while moving toward something more manageable. I’ve always believed that even in the middle of a difficult season, there is a path toward clarity if we are willing to look for it together. As a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) with a background in both clinical training and behavioral health, I bring a practical and observant approach to the healing process. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has taught me the value of focusing on progress over perfection—celebrating small wins while making plenty of room for the real-life challenges that come with growth. I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how we relate to one another and ourselves. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help you build the practical coping strategies and emotional insight you need to navigate life with more balance. I often think of my role as providing an objective mirror when things feel cloudy, helping you find your own internal compass.

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here and taking this important step in your therapy journey. My name is Ruqaiyah Rogers, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. I’m passionate about helping college students like you find clarity, confidence, and balance while navigating life’s challenges. 🌟 College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, big life changes, or just feeling stuck. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring what’s going on and figuring out ways to move forward. I see therapy as a partnership. We’ll work together to identify your goals and use approaches that fit your unique needs. For example: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): This is all about helping you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can feel more in control of your emotions and actions. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): Here, we focus on learning practical skills like managing overwhelming feelings, improving relationships, and staying grounded in the moment. Brainspotting: This is a technique that helps process deeper emotions and stress stored in your body. It’s great for understanding and healing from tough experiences. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This approach is especially helpful for working through difficult memories or trauma, so they don’t feel as overwhelming anymore. If this is your first time in therapy, you might feel a little nervous, and that’s completely normal. Therapy is a space just for you, a private, judgment-free zone, to talk about anything that’s on your mind, no matter how big or small. You’re already showing courage by taking this step, and I’m here to support you in finding your way toward growth, healing, and the life you want. Let’s work together to create meaningful change and help you feel more confident and connected to yourself. 💜💛
When one feels that they are more in control, they have more confidence in themselves. When one feels out of control and overwhelmed, they are lacking in confidence and often get frustrated. Thankfully there is a way to be a control freak without doing it to others. Control yourself by paying more attention to your emotions, thoughts, and actions. I want to help you do that so you can find more enjoyment out of the things you want to do and less stress doing the things you don't want to do. Let me help you create confidence in yourself to manage better and take control of your life. Some of the most common things I help you gain more control over is stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders / dysfunctions, emotional management, and relationships.
Reaching out for help can be overwhelming and scary. How do you know which counselor to talk to? How do you know if it’s a good fit? What do all the letters mean after everyone’s names? What are my friends and family going to think if they hear I’m in counseling? There is so much confusion and stigma around mental health, and I would love to help you make sense of the process. I have extensive experience working with individuals in crisis, helping them find reasons to stay alive and ways to cope with what can feel like all-consuming depression and sorrow. I also have experience working with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with overuse of alcohol and drugs and can help plot a course toward harm-reduction and a more rewarding life. I love working with teenagers and college age students. It’s during this time that people often are struggling to find their identity, who they love, and what they want out of their lives. It’s also during this time that difficult symptoms tend to start making an appearance. Learning how to cope now can lessen the effects later in life and lead to much healthier and holistic outcomes. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to see if I am the best fit for your needs. Let’s get connected today and start working towards a future you are excited about.
