Hollis Theon Rogers

My communication style

I am upfront and will challenge clients in an empathetic manner. I connect naturally with clients and may say a truth that may be uncomfortable, and we will process the discomfort together. I will always respect your decisions, even if I believe that they may not be the best for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

A mentor once told me I'd be good at this work, and they were right. I started as a substance abuse counselor and grew into addressing the full range of issues people face. I've heard the stories of those who've been hurt, abandoned, and shaped by life, and I believe we all deserve support.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative, with the client setting their own goals. I may give feedback; however, the decision will always be the client's.

Our first session

Introduction and a brief description of my experience, and going over the plan developed during the assessment. I give homework assignments and believe writing is a very therapeutic tool. The client has the right to decline any suggestions I give.

I identify as...

• Male
• Black or African American
