Meg Rogers, LMFT

Hello!

I’m Meg Rogers (she/hers pronouns). I am a recovering ‘gifted kid’ who is now thoroughly loving living life with mistakes, hang-ups, and do-overs included. I hold a Master of Fine Art from the University of Pennsylvania. I love checking items off my to-do list and will even add ‘eat lunch’ on there to earn a little check mark. I am a color coder, a planner, and a problem-solver. I am passionate about social justice, health at any size, and living in partnership with one’s body. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania and California.

The important stuff: I’m kind and I am not going to judge you. I have direction and ideas about our therapy and where we need to go. We will work together collaboratively. I am not a therapist who sits and lets you talk for an hour (well maybe, sometimes, if you really need that). I know a lot. You know a lot, and we are here to get things done.

I’m a therapist because it is a tremendously joyful profession. I’m passionate about working with people ready to make changes, and I really freaking like people. I understand on a personal level the strength it takes to live with anxiety and keep going. I am skilled at identifying the good in everyone I work with and listening without judgment.

And my professional credentials: I’ve been providing therapy to adults and children experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, and domestic violence since 2017. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist (EMDRIA) and a Clinical Fellow (AAMFT). I am a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). After conducting therapy with refugee families experiencing domestic violence through License to Freedom, I was a therapist at Mi Escuelita, one of the nation’s few preschools specially designed to support children and families leaving domestic violence. Additionally, I have provided services to adults, teens, and children through community-based health programs and in private practice. My writing on therapy with interpreters appears in the textbook Bilingualism, Culture and Social Justice in Family Therapy (edited by Marcela Polanco, Navid Zamani, and Christina Da Hee Kim). I am a 2018-2019 AAMFT Minority Fellowship Program fellow. I supervise graduate students in training to become therapists and I present professional training to other therapists interested in working with children.

Here are my stats: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in PA (MF001380) and CA (MFT 129870). I hold an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University where I was a Presidential Graduate Research Fellow. I am an EMDRIA-trained EMDR Certified Therapist. I received training in Play Therapy (University of California San Diego), Dialectical Behavior Therapy Training (RHIS), Solution Focused Therapy Training (RHIS), and Domestic Violence Counseling and Sexual Assault training (Center for Community Solutions).
