Estrella Rogers (Coach Star)

 

Hi! I'm Estrella Rogers, but you can call me Coach Star.

 

I am a Certified Gottman Therapist, and  have been in practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over ten years. Through my years in working with couples I began to realize that a lot of our issues are simply because we were never taught. For most couples they didn't have a positive example or someone to teach them the right way. I experienced situations in the early stages of my own marriage which made me realize it’s not that couples don’t want to try, but how do you build a healthy marriage if you don’t know how? 

 

So I began my journey working with couples to: 

 

Build: in order to have a healthy successful marriage it is important to build a firm foundation. 

Grow: in order to grow your marriage you have to learn to nurture it to ensure longevity. 

Love: love requires compromise, sacrifice and passion for making each other better. 

 

I received my graduate degree from East Carolina University. I am currently level three Gottman level trained. I utilize this approach which includes a thorough assessment of your relationship and integrates research based on the Sound Relationship House Theory. 

 

The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

 

 Along with my Gottman Certification, I am also a Prepare and Enrich Certified Facilitator and Certified in Christian Counseling. Each of these allows me to provide services to a diverse group of couples ensuring that I can tailor my services to the needs of my couples.
