Dr. Kira Rogers

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from The New School and completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at Barnard College. My clinical training included work at several major New York City hospitals and psychiatric facilities, including Coney Island Hospital, Harlem Hospital, South Beach Psychiatric Center, and Beth Israel Center for Clinical Training and Research, where I worked with individuals facing a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns.

In addition to my clinical work, I am the founder and Clinical Director of a private practice, where I supervise and mentor a diverse team of psychotherapists. My background also includes years of experience in education, community programming, and psychological research, which has shaped my sensitivity to the ways culture, family systems, identity, achievement, and environment impact emotional wellbeing.

Over the years, I have developed an integrative and collaborative approach to therapy that is tailored to the unique needs of each person I work with. I draw from evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT-informed treatment, and systems-oriented approaches. While my work is grounded in clinical training and research, I believe therapy is most effective when it feels authentic, thoughtful, and emotionally safe. My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood without feeling judged, and supported while also being challenged toward meaningful growth.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who may appear highly functional on the outside while internally struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-doubt, relationship conflict, burnout, grief, or questions about identity and fulfillment. During an initial session, I typically explore both the immediate concerns bringing someone in as well as the broader emotional, relational, and life context surrounding those concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies and relationships, and create lasting changes that feel meaningful and sustainable in their daily lives.
