Ginger Rogers

I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), meeting the highest standards of professional counseling through the National Board for Certified Counselors. I’ve also completed a certification in complex trauma, earning the designation of Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I am a Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA (EMDR-C) and a Certified Linehan-Trained Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), practicing DBT to fidelity. I offer weekly DBT skills groups and classes to support skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. In addition, I’ve completed Levels I and II of Clinical Hypnosis training, as well as Level I in Deep Brain Reorienting. My clinical work integrates approaches rooted in grief and loss, self-esteem, attachment, mindfulness, psychoeducation, polyvagal theory, and physical well-being. My focus is grounded in a broad understanding of trauma and its impact on the body, brain, behaviors, emotions, and relationships. I have a deep passion for helping others and a firm belief that my clients are the experts on their own lives. My role is to walk alongside them—to create a safe space, help make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and support their journey toward healing. I hold hope even when it feels distant, and I believe that healing is always possible. My own life experiences, including navigating trauma, depression, and emotional dysregulation, led me to this field. I’m also a mother to an autistic son who has taught me so much about relationships, growth, and humanity. This perspective allows me to offer a soft place to land not only for parents of neurodivergent children but also for autistic and neurodivergent individuals themselves. I bring compassion, understanding, and a commitment to honoring each person’s unique story.
