Focus of Therapy
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, Dr. Rogers is able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events.
Combat trauma is a specific type of trauma experienced by men and women who have served in military and law enforcement roles. While not all who experience combat develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, some do. Symptoms vary but often fall into three categories: Intrusive, avoidant, and hyper-arousal. Substance use/abuse may also be present.
Complex trauma refers to a series of traumatic events that take place over a long period of time. Complex trauma has a lot in common with with classic symptoms of PTSD (e.g., anxiety, flashbacks, avoidance, etc.); however, complex trauma can distort sense of self, make it difficult to control emotions, and cause a myriad of other symptoms, including somatic and interpersonal, spiritual problems, etc. [For an excellent read: Understanding Complex Trauma, Complex Reactions, and Treatment Approaches - Curtois]

Focus of Assessment
Psychological Assessment
General psychological assessments are undertaken for a variety of reasons. There are four major components of a psychological assessment: norm-referenced tests, interviews, observations, and informal assessments. General, or broad range, psychological assessments often assist with diagnostic clarity, assessing the nature and severity of symptoms, from which a hypothesis about a person and their behavior, personality and capabilities is made.
Brief Cognitive Assessment
Brief Cognitive Assessments are designed to help measure mental functions, such as memory, language, and the ability to recognize objects. They can be used to identify intellectual disabilities, identify and diagnose learning disabilities and disorders, evaluate cognitive processing strengths and weaknesses, assess giftedness, and/or to assess the impact of brain injuries.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Assessment
While there is no single test for ADHD, psychologists can use observations, school records, and collateral information to determine the extent to which symptoms may impact mood, behavior, productivity, and lifestyle habits. The ADHD assessment provides an opinion about symptom impact, as well as recommendations for impact reduction.
Special Accommodation Assessment
Special accommodation assessments and recommendations can be used to assist individuals with requesting certain rights (e.g., equipment, environment, or format). A special accommodation may be obtained for educational or vocational purposes.
Social Security Disability Assessment
The social security mental health disability report is a brief review of medical records, observations, and a structured interview. This report is typically provided to Social Security to support an application for disability related to a mental health condition, for which the applicant is claiming impairment in job functioning.
