About
Rising to meet life's challenges with confidence – this is the core philosophy that drives Roger Laird's approach to therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Roger brings a unique combination of lived experience and professional training to his practice, Laird Family Therapy, in Visalia, California.
With six years of experience treating individuals and families, Roger has developed a deep understanding of the varied mental health needs that arise throughout life's journey. His personal background as both a child and later a parent in a blended family has profoundly shaped his therapeutic approach. This firsthand experience allows him to connect with clients on a personal level, understanding the feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and inadequacy that often accompany family challenges.

He has over four years of experience providing stabilization services for teens and their families following psychiatric hospitalization. Additionally, he has spent four years working with children and teens classified as having Severe Mental Illness. This specialized experience equips him to handle complex cases with sensitivity and skill.

He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at California State University, Fresno in 2013, followed by a Master of Science in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling from the same institution in 2016.
At Laird Family Therapy, Roger offers a wide range of services including individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and children, as well as family therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy.
