My name is Brittany Rogers and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor, a certified alcohol and drug counselor, a life coach, and author. I attended the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign for my bachelor’s degree in psychology and went on to complete my Master’s in counseling psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014 and I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, geriatric’s, and their families. I have provided individual, couples, and family counseling as well as group therapy and facilitated workshops. I have worked at psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and partial hospitalization and outpatient programs specializing in mental health, substance abuse, and eating disorders. I also have experience working with non-for-profit organizations in the Chicagoland area and speaking on panels focused on mental health and relationship dynamics. I operate from a client centered and solution focused therapeutic approach and specialize in working with millennials, teenagers, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship/familial dynamics. My therapeutic perspective is rooted in the idea that we all have the ability and potential to navigate life as our highest selves, we don’t need people to just give us the answers. Most times we just we need help drawing connections, making sense of things that happen, and trusted guidance that keeps us on the track to greatness.
I currently work at Answers Lie Within Inc., a Black owned private practice providing therapy. Although I enjoy and have a passion for what I do in my role as a therapist, I couldn’t help but notice a deficit that exists when it comes to access of psychoeducation and therapeutic services in the African American community.
