I specialize in grief counseling, end of life, life transitions and stressors, anxiety, trauma, spirituality and religion, relationship conflicts, and depression.
Each one of us has a unique and important story to tell. I am honored to give my clients a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment to share theirs. Although our personal narratives inevitably include difficulty, loss, and grief, it is my privilege to help clients discover the truth, resilience, and healing at the center of their story. It is my goal to help support clients on the path to healing.

Rose Wall is passionate about serving clients who are managing the aftermath of trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions. These experiences can leave clients struggling with mood swings, irritability, and moments of hopelessness. When trauma happens early in life, people can be left experiencing high anxiety and periods of emotional numbness. Rose will guide you through learning to calm the nervous system, and create a window where deeper therapy work can be approached with a sense of safety. Couples often have built up wounds and learning how to communicate and heal is a huge part in creating a secure attachment.

Relationships, career paths, sexuality, family issues, work issues, change on all fronts, trauma and loss are some of the things that clients bring to talk about in their work with me.

I have worked with individuals and couples contending with depression, anxiety, anger, mood instability, substance abuse, finding purpose and meaning, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and relationship dynamics with partners, friends, family and coworkers.
While experiencing pain is a part of the human experience, long term suffering does not have to be. Life brings with it a rich and vast set of experiences which can include complex and confusing family dynamics, navigating relationships, death of a loved one or an animal, an end of a relationship or friendship and existential questions around who we are, what our purpose(s) are in life and why we matter. For some people these existential questions and the emotions that accompany them have come closer to awareness in the face of climate change.

I have journeyed with those experiencing anxiety, addiction, grief & loss, depression, and various types of trauma.
Your healing journey is as unique as your fingerprint. Cultivating this path takes openness, intention, and nurture - all key elements in the therapeutic process. While the depths of ourselves can be excruciating to explore, it is only with deep discovery that true awareness and relief b lossom. This knowledge opens the path toward acceptance and change. As a therapist, my focus is creating an authentic space where genuine expression thrives. This environment allows for a strong therapeutic bond, which I believe is the catalyst for major transformation.

The pregnant and postpartum periods are life changing and can be beautiful. However, they are also incredibly complex, can extend well beyond the first year after birth, and can present challenges that are different from anything else. The symptoms and diagnoses that accompany this life stage are unique, but entirely curable with help from a specially trained therapist. My specialty is perinatal (“around birth,” or the pregnant and postpartum periods) mental health, which includes perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), perinatal grief and loss, and birth trauma.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
