Dr. Rose is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and the founder of Mindful Path Behavioral Health & Wellness, Inc., which was founded in 2009. Dr. Rose specializes in working with adults who are in emotional pain and feel alone in that pain. Mostly, her clients have been deeply impacted by: childhood trauma, relational trauma (childhood and adult), challenging relationships of all kinds, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, chronic-illness, loss-of-self, perfectionism, deep-seeded shame, fertility journeys; loss and associated grief and pain, disenfranchised grief and grief of all forms, and those navigating through major transitions in life (i.e., pregnancy, parenting, marriage, divorce, retirement, career-change/stress, sandwich generation stress, caregiver-stress and burnout, loss of roles or identity, being childless by circumstance, perimenopause/menopause, and other defining isolating events in life).
Dr. Rose feels very passionate about offering a reparative relational experience through the therapeutic process, where her clients can feel safe to explore all of the layers of their lived experiences and learn effective healing strategies and coping tools, that can help them live in alignment with their values and free them up from narratives that no longer fit. She believes that through the therapeutic relationship, with a safe and witnessing other, even the most difficult and painful material can be accessed, held and processed, contextualized, and as a result, lightened. She works from a collaborative and holistic framework, validating her clients' experiences and encouraging them to recognize the avoidance patterns that, paradoxically, exacerbate rather than reduce their suffering. Dr. Rose is deeply committed to her work with clients, guiding them towards healing and freeing people up to coexist with what has happened to them while learning to live in the light of who they are now.
Dr. Rose's style of therapy is deeply relational and trauma-informed/focused. She is guided by theories such as Yoga-Informed Psychotherapy and Philosophy, Internal-Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Gottman Method (Level 1), and other Mindfulness-Informed and Evidence-Based Approaches.
Dr. Rose received her Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology in 2007 from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. In addition to her clinical training and many additonal theoretical trainings, Dr. Rose has been trained in various forms of yoga, somatic forms of healing, yoga-informed psychotherapy, mindfulness, reiki, and meditation.
In her spare time, Dr. Rose is an avid sea-glass collector, amateur photographer of nature (specifically sunrises and sunsets), adoring dog mama, fiercely loving Auntie, and spends most of her time outdoors all over the country (in all seasons) adventuring with her loyal sidekick, Stassi. Dr. Rose also takes advantage of any chance to dance and seeks opportunities for joy, laughter, dance, and slowmaxxing as ways to support nervous-system flexibility and care.
She is also proudly the sole content creater for Mindful Path's social media accounts.
