Dr. Rosenberg has extensive training working with clients across a wide range of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, borderline personality, and related concerns.

Welcome! Thank you for considering me as your psychologist. My training and professional experience have guided me toward a philosophical outlook towards therapy. I believe that a therapeutic relationship must be mutually engaging, and, as such, involves active participation by both the patient and the clinician. My desire is to help you reach your goals in life, particularly in the context of your values and beliefs, facilitating growth and reaching for a fulfilling life worth living.

At some point in our lives we all experience psychological pain and suffering. While there is no blueprint to life, if you have a history of adverse life experiences, or come from an unstable home, you may find yourself struggling to build the life you want. Unresolved childhood trauma can result in a wide range of mental health, physical pain and relationship issues. You may feel broken and unsure if you can recover. Yet, my personal and professional experiences have taught me, it is through experiencing brokenness we emerge our most resilient.

I am a therapist specializing in cognitive-based therapies where we take an active stance at changing the way you talk to yourself and act in your life. While we cannot erase traumas from the past or inevitable pain we may encounter today or in the future, I can equip you with tools to face these obstacles and feel confident in your ability to tackle problems as they arise.

Have you lost someone you love? Maybe they passed away, or maybe they are still around, but the situation has changed. You might feel lost and confused, as though you are a stranger in your own life. Standing in the sun, you feel chilled and alone. Or you may feel relatively well, but deep down you know there is "a lot to process". You can stuff your feelings, but it won't be so simple to move on. You want to feel healthy, comfortable, to UNDERSTAND, and know that you can not only survive this experience but also transform it, transcend it, and make peace with your demons.

What brings you here is something important. It could be a problem, pattern, question, or thought; or it could stand for something more difficult to represent with words. Our work may be long or short-term depending on the nature of this dilemma. We might focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, relationships, or something else. Whatever the cause, the techniques I utilize for listening and hearing prompt you to speak on a register that leads to change. Psychotherapy becomes a creative space for opportunity and growth, as well as a time for you to focus and reflect inward, in order to bring forward something new or renewed.

Have you found yourself not knowing how to navigate a situation and suffering because of that? Have you tried "everything," but are still feeling trapped and immersed in psych suffering, which can manifest itself as isolation, self-criticism, hopelessness, worry, fear, dissatisfaction, interpersonal conflicts, mood changes, dissociation from reality, a sense of being persecuted, and so on? Have you wondered whether some of the issues you have dealt with - for instance, being incapable of doing things or repeatedly making bad choices - might tell something about your subjective dilemmas? This is the moment to make analysis.

I am a clinical psychologist working in private practice for over two decades. My practice welcomes adolescents and adults seeking help for a variety of issues. While I work with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship, and adjustment issues, I maintain a specialty in eating disorders and personality disorders.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of experience in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and understand your struggles and to help you obtain the tools to be more effective in achieving the life you want. In addition to private practice, I have worked as the Team Lead on the women’s unit of a mental health residential rehabilitation treatment program and currently work in a medical center’s outpatient mental health clinic, where I provide psychotherapy and supervise trainees.

With over fifty years of experience I've grown to utilize that experience and awareness to connect with you in such a way that you might expand your understanding of yourself in the world and expand the quality of your self and your relationships. Empathy, insight, education, positive regard, mindfulness, and gentle confrontation are all tools for each of us to utilize.

My primary goals are to help clients utilize their strengths, effectively cope with challenges and harness the best versions of themselves. I strive to provide a space in which clients can feel safe and heard. I will listen and use my knowledge to help address the parts of your life that feel challenging. In this healing environment, you will have the opportunity to gain greater self understanding, self-acceptance and self-compassion. When this happens, positive change can occur. Together we will seek to unlock creative blocks, move past trauma, let go of self-criticism, comprehend challenging relationships and celebrate strengths.
