About Me
Rick Rodgers MSW, LCSW
Warriors Respite is a haven for healing, founded by me, Rick Rodgers—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), RYT-500 yoga teacher, and Afghanistan combat veteran who served in the infantry. Having faced the crucible of war and navigated my own path to healing, I’m dedicated to guiding others through their battles—whether it’s trauma, addiction, or the lasting wounds of narcissistic abuse.
What makes Warriors Respite unique is our integrative approach, blending rigorous clinical expertise with the transformative practices of yoga and mindfulness meditation. We focus on healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Through online therapy, personalized coaching, and holistic practices, we create a safe, compassionate space for you to process pain, build resilience, and reclaim your strength.
With a commitment to culturally sensitive and inclusive care, Warriors Respite welcomes individuals from all walks of life. If you’re ready to confront your challenges and forge a path to a more fulfilling future, I’m here to walk beside you.

PICTURE THIS
Warriors Respite is a sanctuary where you can work through life’s challenges with someone who’s faced combat firsthand, whether through therapy, yoga, or meditation coaching—each a distinct path to healing. I’m Rick Rodgers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), RYT-500 yoga teacher, and Afghanistan infantry veteran. We provide a safe, no-judgment space for people carrying heavy loads—whether from war, toxic relationships, addiction, or everyday struggles—with personalized plans to help you reclaim your life.
You can choose one-on-one therapy to unpack your experiences and build resilience, restorative yoga sessions to release tension and reconnect with your body, or meditation coaching to cultivate calm and clarity. These services stand alone or can complement each other, tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking one or all, we meet you where you are.
My story? I fought in Afghanistan, leading troops through chaos, and came home driven to understand trauma and recovery. Years of training—clinical therapy credentials, a 500-hour yoga certification, and mindfulness expertise—paired with real-world work supporting survivors of all kinds, shaped Warriors Respite. Everyone’s welcome, no matter what burden you carry.
