Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers

Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers centers her work on the quality of the therapeutic relationship, believing that progress in therapy grows from an environment of trust and openness. She treats vulnerability as a careful and valuable choice and aims to provide a non-judgmental space where clients can express that vulnerability and explore change at their own pace.

Working collaboratively, she helps people identify their strengths, needs, and goals and designs a compassionate, motivating path toward greater insight and coping. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Dr. Rodgers brings extensive experience in child welfare, including work with foster and adoptive care, and has also practiced in private settings supporting clients with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, secondary trauma, parenting challenges, and workplace pressure.

She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Organizational Psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. Her therapeutic approach draws on multiple evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies, Psychodynamic Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and Motivational Interviewing. She is a certified trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach for parenting intense children and youth and also maintains credentials as a certified life coach.

Dr. Rodgers looks forward to partnering with clients on their journeys toward healing and growth.
