Due to administrative responsibilities, the associate director is rarely able to meet
with students on a ongoing basis for counseling.
Michael Rogers, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Languages in which I conduct therapy: English
My approach to therapy: I believe that as human beings we are naturally oriented toward growth and only stop short when barriers get in the way. As a helper, I work with people to improve their ability to overcome internal and external barriers to well-being by increasing persistence, compassion, and self-acceptance. I have professional interests in emotional health issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity/expression, cross-cultural counseling, group therapy, and training & supervision.
My approach to supervision: I approach supervision from an integrated development model, blended with elements from feminist and client-centered theory. I value creating a supervision relationship based on mutual respect, collaboratively developed goals, and that acknowledges our shared humanity. I like to mix humor, compassion, and honesty to help explore key issues in promoting growth.
Professional Affiliations: ACCTA Member & Bylaws Committe Chair (Association of Counseling Center Training Agencies), Site Visitor for the American Psychological Association's Commission on Accreditation.
A Fun Fact: I love stories that feature the power of growth and connection (novels, theater, spoken word, films, TV, art, etc.), especially in the science fiction and fantasy genres, and from storytellers who share about the experiences of queer people.
