Eben Rogers

Eben Rogers is a California-based psychotherapist with 10 years of private practice experience serving individuals, couples, and families in Santa Cruz County. He holds the credential CA LMFT 53690, a licensed marriage and family therapist registration in California.

In his work at Mountain Elementary School in Soquel, he provided individual psychotherapy for students, led group therapy with families, and facilitated social learning groups. He has also worked with the Listen Foundation, a local non-profit that provides residential care to adults with autism, Down Syndrome, and other developmental disabilities.

Before private practice, he was a social worker at a level-12 residential treatment facility for emotionally-disturbed children and adolescents. His clients came from diverse cultural, social, and economic backgrounds and required a range of interventions. Using techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy, he helped clients take practical steps toward greater control over their lives.

In addition to leading group and individual therapy, he acted as a liaison between clients and social services providers, medical providers, and teachers. That experience taught him to work collaboratively within therapeutic teams, and he draws on it now when clients need a therapist who can interface with schools, the courts, or other mental health clinicians.

Prior to becoming a licensed psychotherapist, Eben earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz and worked as a substitute teacher. He lives in Santa Cruz and spends time outdoors in the local ecosystems, from the forest and rivers of the Santa Cruz Mountains to the Monterey Bay. He enjoys traveling, hiking, surfing, and spending time with his wife and their two daughters, ages 9 and 16.
