LMFT, 14 years of experience
My name is Roger Grossman I literally wrote to book on how to have a successful marriage: "Making Marriage Work: A User’s Guide To A Successful Marriage" by Roger Grossman, LMFT I AM NOT THE SMILE AND NOD THERAPIST. I roll up my sleeves and get in there with you. I have a great BS detector. I’ll call you on your stuff. We’ll laugh (a lot). I’m not afraid to talk about anything you need to talk about. Sex? Money? Feeling Entitled? After so many years in this field I’m unshockable. Let’s get it all out; there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I specialize in couples therapy, addiction counseling and working with victims of trauma, emergency services and veterans.
The purpose of the first session is to see if you feel I am a good fit for you and if I feel I can help you.
Choosing to become a therapist was inspired by my own journey and life experiences. It represents the culmination of all I have learned. This is the work that I feel I was meant to do. I find great joy and meaning in helping my clients gain insight and awareness, access their innate strengths and resources, and develop the skills and confidence to create a more fulfilling and balanced life. I am enthusiastic and passionate about my work. I see how these techniques can change people’s lives. I’ve learned the best way to make the world a better place is to work with one person at a time
I have extensive experience working with trauma survivors. Addiction Alcoholism Emergency Service Workers Veterans Trauma and Abuse Survivors
CBT teaches you coping skills for dealing with different problems. It focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and actions.
Brainspotting is a psychotherapy technique that uses eye movements to help people process psychological trauma and other problems. It's based on the idea that trauma feelings can become connected to a part of the body, which can lead to mental or physical problems. Brainspotting aims to help the brain and body let go of the traumatic incident so the person can move on.
