As a licensed psychologist and the founder of Kaleidoscope Psychological Services, it is a privilege and honor to get to work with and be trusted by my clients (who, in my opinion, are some of the most incredible, cool, and inspiring humans I've ever met).

I am passionate about helping people build deeply connected, fulfilling relationships. I love guiding partners past painful cycle loops so they can reconnect, feel truly understood, and cultivate genuine emotional and/or sexual intimacy.

Treatment Ideology: I believe therapy should be a safe, compassionate space where you are seen and celebrated for who you are. Specializing in LGBTQ+ care and advocating for historically underserved communities, I combine attachment science with a feminist, multicultural approach (FMT) to offer evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique experiences, identities, and circumstances.

My approach to affirming therapy as a queer clinician is through lived experience, curiosity, respect, and cultural humility. In the therapy space, I use curiosity, authenticity, and humor to build genuine relationships with my clients. I welcome feedback from my clients and believe that true therapeutic growth is only reached by establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, which requires understanding, trust, and safety. It is important to me that my clients know I care about them as people and that this isn't "just a job."

Education and Training: I am a licensed psychologist in both Missouri and Utah and provide virtual sessions across both states. My training and professional experience working with LGBTQ+ clients is extensive and has been a central focus of my education, research, and clinical practice.

While completing my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), my primary advisor was an LGBTQ+ specialist counseling psychologist. My master's thesis examined LGBTQ+ couples, minority stress, and relationship satisfaction, and my doctoral dissertation explored the lived experiences of queer, fat women.

I completed my APA accredited psychology internship at the University of Utah University Counseling Center (UCC) in Salt Lake City, UT. Following graduate school, I completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Encircle Therapy, an LGBTQ+ therapy nonprofit. There I co-created and facilitated a transgender-affirming therapy group. Throughout my post-doc I was supervised by a licensed psychologist and eating disorder/body image specialist, Susan Chamberlain, Ph.D.

Kink, Ace, & ENM Affirming

Community Action

We acknowledge that bodies exist naturally in all sizes and shapes, and that what a body looks like does not determine health. We acknowledge and work to oppose weight stigma in healthcare.

KPS strives to be involved in community action through organizing, attending protests/rallies, donating money, and creating community based programming and supports.

Therapeutic Orientation

Dr. Rogers utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy, taking evidence-based approaches from a variety of modalities and curating specialized, individualistic treatment plans designed to meet your specific needs. Most commonly used modalities are discussed in-depth below.

Polyvagal & DBT-informed therapy blends physiological regulation with skill-building to manage intense emotional reactions and improve conflict. By learning to recognize when a partner's nervous system enters a "fight, flight, or freeze" state, partners will gain tools for emotional regulation and clear communication, allowing them to co-regulate and build safety.

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify underlying, unexpressed emotions that drive painful, repetitive conflict cycles. By learning to express these core vulnerable feelings instead of reacting with anger or withdrawal, partners can safely rebuild trust, transform negative patterns, and cultivate a deeper, more secure emotional bond.

The Gottman Method helps identify specific communication patterns and strengthen the practical, daily foundation of your relationship. By focusing on actionable skills like managing conflict constructively, increasing gratitude, and building shared meaning, couples learn to avoid defensive reactions and increase affection and trust.

Attachment-Based Therapy involves recognizing how early bonding experiences shape adult relationship patterns, security, and triggers. By understanding attachment styles, partners learn to navigate fear and distance, increase empathy, and transform conflict into opportunity for emotional safety and closeness.
