Phil Rogers, LMFT Associate

(He/They)  |  

Counselor: 

Adults, Couples

Phil fosters genuine connection and support by believing his clients are the experts in their own lives. Humor, openness, and curiosity are at the forefront of his exploration of what his clients need to live their lives in the ways that feel right to them. His goal is to see you, and to help you see yourself, as clearly as possible in the web of relationships, joys, and responsibilities that make up your life. Phil uses colorful language, metaphor, and somatic approaches to explore the deeper root causes of issues in order to provide long term benefit to his clients by helping them identify their core values and sources of struggle in their lives.

In his work with couples, Phil focuses on issues surrounding sex, communication, and fostering sustainable connection. He has particular experience working from a sex-positive, nonjudgmental position with clients who are practitioners of or curious about kink and BDSM. Phil is also passionate about working with ADHD clients who are trying to figure out what role this diagnosis plays in their lives. 

As a member of the queer community, Phil is committed to providing affirming care for individuals regardless of how they identify, who they want to love if anyone, or whether they are not sure what the answers to those questions might be. Phil also has experience with members of the Asian American community, and is committed to providing a space where cultural and spiritual backgrounds of all kinds can be treated with reverence and respect that matches what his clients feel.

Why Therapy?

I felt that in order to be a part of the world, I needed my efforts on a daily basis to benefit others. I believe the less pain and grief there is in the world, the more understanding and cooperation is possible. In my own small way it is my goal to contribute to that equation.

Professional Motivation

Knowing someone is hurting and being able to help them feel any amount of relief. Helping people love themselves and find pleasure in their lives. The moment when something a client once found unacceptable about themselves becomes something they treasure.

Education

I studied music and French at Goucher College, with graduate studies in vocal performance at Morgan State University in Baltimore. I got my master’s degree in counseling at Texas State University.

Hobbies

I love to cook, play music, walk in the greenbelt, and spend time with my wife and my friends. Sometimes I spend a lot of time drawing, reading, or deep diving into the history of Tarot Cards (don’t get me started).

Previous Occupations

I am a former opera singer, actor, sea kayak guide, photographer, rock-band-member, and once briefly worked for a tech startup.
