John Rogers MA LPCC
Licensed in Minnesota and Colorado

Welcome! I'm glad you’re here. I’ve been a therapist since 2010 and started my private practice in 2015. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals from all walks of life navigate and heal from challenges such as addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and more. My professional journey began in the mid-1990s with a business degree, which led to a decade in the corporate world. While this experience was valuable, I eventually sought new challenges and chose a different path. After my dad's death in 2005, I resigned from my job, sold my house, and moved to Alaska, where I spent a summer working at a remote lodge in the Tongass Rainforest. This enriching and eye-opening experience made me realize that the tourism industry wasn’t a long-term fit for me. In 2006, I moved to Ireland, where I worked with teens and families affected by cancer and HIV. This profoundly transformative work ignited my passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges. I supported families from 27 European countries, often collaborating with interpreters to ensure clear communication. These experiences taught me much about resilience, connection, and the human spirit. I returned to Minnesota in 2008 to pursue a master’s degree in psychology, completing an internship at the Center for Grief, Loss, and Transition in Saint Paul. In 2010, I moved to California to become the Program Director at The Painted Turtle. There, I closely worked with teens and families managing serious chronic illnesses. One of the highlights of my time was overseeing a high ropes course, where we adapted activities to ensure full inclusivity for individuals with mobility challenges, including wheelchair users. This experience strengthened my commitment to creating spaces where everyone could thrive. In 2013, I returned to Minnesota to work at The Emily Program, where I gained experience in individual, group, and family therapy, as well as intensive outpatient and day treatment programs. This role provided me with a strong foundation in clinical care and expanded my expertise. In 2015, I transitioned to private practice by opening Rogers Counseling in Minneapolis. There, I continue to help individuals on their paths to growth and healing. Each step of my journey has shaped me both personally and professionally. Supporting others as they build resilience and find hope in life’s challenges is a privilege.

Services | Fees

Individual Counseling
I offer a supportive and reflective approach to psychotherapy, using your values, insights, and goals to guide treatment. My role is to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore and confront struggles, symptoms, and emotions at a pace that is challenging but not overwhelming.
​
My approach combines techniques from various traditions, such as Jungian Analysis, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. Blending traditional therapy with body-mind practices is emerging as a methodology that can help people where other methodologies have fallen short.
​
For those interested, therapy may include dream work. Utilizing dreams in a therapeutic context can be a powerful way to grow and heal. They often offer insight into the various energies and motivations that subtly influence how you act, feel, and experience life. Similar to dreamwork, I have experience helping facilitators and participants of Psychedelic Rituals integrate their experiences.
I am a certified NARM™ Master Therapist. The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) focuses on addressing attachment and trauma by examining patterns that contribute to enduring emotional and physical symptoms and relationship challenges. These patterns can profoundly impact our sense of self, emotions, body, behavior, and relationships.
​
Couples and Family Counseling
In my work with couples and families, I focus on observing and addressing relationship dynamics as they occur. This helps identify recurring patterns in real time, creating opportunities for meaningful change. In couples or family therapy, the relationship itself is treated as the client. The main goal is to break negative cycles and unhelpful patterns that cause conflict or disconnection.
​
While individual perspectives are important, the bigger focus is on the growth and development of the relationship. We explore how each person’s experiences and behaviors affect the dynamic, working toward better understanding, stronger connections, and mutual growth.
​
Therapy sessions typically involve couples or family members working collaboratively. While most sessions are collaborative, individual sessions may occasionally be held to address personal history or concerns, which are then brought back into the relationship work. Unlike individual therapy, couples therapy focuses on the relationship as a whole—healing, strengthening, and building connection.
​
Counseling for Therapists
Throughout my career, I’ve received excellent training, mentorship, and supervision from skilled professionals who have greatly influenced my growth. These experiences have demonstrated to me just how valuable consultation and therapy for the therapist can be for fostering professional development and building confidence. Whether you’re a new clinician navigating the challenges of building your practice or a seasoned psychotherapist looking to refine your skills and expand your expertise, I have had the privilege of supporting many therapists on their journey of growth and transformation in this field.
My approach is always tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw on Jungian, psychodynamic, and phenomenological frameworks to provide a comprehensive and thoughtful perspective. Our work together will focus on strengthening your expertise, enhancing your therapeutic practice, and helping you connect more deeply with your clients. With the right support, you can expand your impact, build on your strengths, and continue evolving both personally and professionally.
