Michael Rogers

I’m Michael J. Rogers, Ph.D., a licensed mental health counselor, counselor educator, author, and nonprofit clinical leader. For more than three decades, I have helped people confront addiction, emotional distress, relationship conflict, criminal thinking, and the hidden patterns that keep them stuck. I’m the author of Choose Your Response: Six Practices to Uncover and Break the Hidden Patterns That Hold You Back.

My perspective extends well beyond the counseling room. I lead a community behavioral-health organization, teach university students, develop practical change programs, advocate for people with disabilities, and lead a Christian men’s group. I’m also a general-aviation pilot, aircraft owner, and songwriter. Flying has taught me preparation, humility, risk management, and calm decision-making when circumstances change. Songwriting allows me to explore faith, emotion, relationships, and the stories through which we understand our lives.

I bring hosts an unusual combination of clinical expertise, real-world leadership, thoughtful storytelling, and practical ideas their listeners can use immediately.
