Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers, LMFT

Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), centers her work on the therapeutic relationship, viewing it as the foundation for meaningful change. She treats vulnerability as a careful, courageous choice and cultivates a nonjudgmental space where people can bring honest feelings and begin to build trust. Drawing on clients' self-identified strengths, needs, and goals, she collaborates to design a compassionate, motivating path toward insight and practical progress at a pace that fits each person.

With 18 years of experience, Dr. Rodgers has worked extensively with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, anger and self-esteem challenges, career matters, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also maintains a focused practice area that includes adoption and foster care, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace-related difficulties.

Her clinical approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, allowing her to tailor interventions to the needs and goals of each client. The result is a collaborative, strengths-based process aimed at clarifying priorities, building coping skills, and restoring balance across important areas of life.
