Sandy Rogers

Sandy Rogers is a licensed independent clinical social worker in West Virginia with 31 years of experience providing therapeutic services in a variety of clinical settings. Her background includes work as a medical social worker in both hospital and nursing home environments, roles in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and a crisis residential unit, positions at community mental health centers, and work in an outpatient medication-assisted drug treatment program. She has provided both individual and group counseling across these settings.

She earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from West Virginia University and holds national social work certifications that reflect advanced professional standing. Sandy draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, solution-focused methods, and dialectical therapy. She collaborates with each person to choose the approaches that best fit their needs and helps develop a treatment plan with clear goals and objectives.

Sandy emphasizes a client-centered stance in which the individual is viewed as the expert on their own life; she aims to provide a compassionate, respectful, and nonjudgmental space for exploration and change. Her practice addresses a wide array of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting and caregiver stress, self-esteem and anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She offers flexible scheduling, including weekend appointments when possible, to accommodate individual needs.

Outside of her clinical work, Sandy spends time with her husband, adult children, and her pets (one dog and two cats), and she is an advocate for animal rescue. Her volunteer history includes serving as a Boy Scout leader and a Girl Scout leader, and before the pandemic she was actively involved in local community events.
