Phil Rogers, LMFT Associate

Phil fosters genuine connection and support by believing his clients are the experts in their own lives. His goal is to see you, and to help you see yourself, as clearly as possible in the web of relationships and responsibilities that make up your life. Phil uses humor, metaphor, and somatic approaches to comfortably explore the roots of problems and provide long term benefit to his clients, helping them identify their core values and sources of struggle in their lives.

In his work with couples, Phil specializes in issues surrounding sex, communication, queer issues, and ethical non-monogamy. He has particular experience working from a sex-positive, informed approach with clients who are practitioners of or curious about kink and BDSM. Phil also works with adults processing childhood abuse, including the ways it can surface years later in  relationships, romantic and otherwise.

Phil works with men on the parts of their lives they were taught to handle quietly, including anger, loneliness, and the pressure to perform at work and at home. He also works with ADHD clients who are trying to figure out what role this diagnosis plays in their lives beyond what they might have learned or been told, which is often not much!

Phil also has experience working with members of the Asian American community, and with clients carrying racial or religious trauma. As a member of the queer community who has also spent plenty of time around people of all political and spiritual affiliations, he is committed to providing a space where all backgrounds are treated with reverence. Phil strives to show respect that matches what his clients feel, whether they are building a spiritual life or stepping away from one. He is committed to providing affirming care for individuals regardless of their identity, who they choose to love if anyone, or if they are still learning what the answers to those questions might be.

Phil is supervised by Sarah Dunlap, PhD, LMFT-S.
