Allison Rogers

With a compassionate approach rooted in vulnerability and courage, Allison Rogers, LCSW, provides a safe haven for individuals seeking to navigate life's challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Allison specializes in treating a diverse range of clients, from children and adolescents to adults and families. Her therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that all individuals possess the inherent ability to improve their lives within a trusting, warm, and empathetic therapeutic environment.

Allison's expertise spans a variety of evidence-based treatments, making her particularly well-suited to address complex issues. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), both highly effective approaches for trauma treatment. For adult clients, Allison employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe thought patterns and behaviors. When working with children, she skillfully utilizes both directive and non-directive play therapy, allowing young clients to express emotions and resolve conflicts through their natural language of play.

Allison's educational background includes a bachelor's degree in Anthropology and Sociology from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, and a master's degree in Social Work (MSW) from The University of Memphis. Her academic journey was enriched by two impactful internships: one at LeBonheur Children's Hospital, where she worked with children and families facing serious medical conditions and civil legal problems, and another at an intensive outpatient program (IOP) focused on treating adults with depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

In her practice, Allison emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. She develops close and effective working relationships with her clients, attuning herself to each person's lived experiences, values, strengths, and goals. This personalized approach allows her to provide truly client-centered therapy, tailoring her methods to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Currently, Allison offers her services exclusively through TeleHealth appointments, making her expertise accessible to clients regardless of location. When she's not helping others, Allison enjoys a rich personal life that includes listening to music, cooking, knitting, running, and spending time with her two playful cats. These pursuits not only contribute to her work-life balance but also inform her holistic approach to mental health and well-being.
