I believe that the success of therapy is largely dependent on the relationship I have with my clients. CS Lewis once said, "To love at all is to be vulnerable." I think that vulnerability is a precious gift that is not to be taken lightly. It's very important that my clients feel safe to express that vulnerability in a non-judgmental environment that inspires trust. I work with clients according to their self-identified, strengths, needs and goals. Together we craft a path toward insight with compassion and motivation at your pace.
I have over 20 years of experience working in the field of child welfare including foster and adoptive care. I also worked in private practice and helped clients with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, secondary trauma, parenting challenges, and workplace pressure. I have a MA in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Organizational Psychology. I use a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies, Psychodynamic Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am a certified trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach (for parenting intense children and youth) and am also a certified life coach.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Shano Palovich Rodgers. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My quality of life has been demonstrably improved ever since I began therapy with Dr. Palovich. She is kind, insightful, a great listener, asks probing questions that help me understand myself and get at the root of what's keeping me down, anxious and pessimistic. Even better, I'm armed with tools to manage stress in my life.

Dr. Palovich Rodgers is a very caring therapist that goes way beyond her way to help. She validates you, let’s you be open, and makes you feel safe. I never had a therapist like her before she’s amazing and puts your needs first. I wish I had her as a therapist a long time ago.
