Hi, I'm Dale Rose, and I've been a licensed, practicing Marriage and Family Therapist in the Sherman Oaks-Studio City neighborhood for over 20 years.

You may be feeling stuck, discouraged, angry or depressed about your life or relationships. Maybe there's a medical condition with emotional effects on you or others. Your family life or parenting situation may be difficult. Maybe you're having trouble with co-workers or siblings. Or you may have just lost your way and don't know where you are going or how to get there ... wherever "there" might be. Whether you believe we choose our own circumstances, that there is a "master plan," or that sometimes SHTUFF happens, you still have reactions, feelings, and decisions to make about "what next?" I can help.

Growing up, few were taught how to get out of their head, cope with anxiety, depression, or anger. There was no class on this. We learned from the people around us and TV to avoid things, drink, yell, lie, shut down, isolate, spend money, and worry. So for most people, the method of dealing with their problems don't quite cut it. That's why it's vital to learn skills to have control over emotions so that emotions don't have control over you. My goal is to provide you these skills, insight, hope and a chance to change in meaningful ways.

Please note: as of 9/9/23 my Cigna contract will expire. I will no longer be paneled with any insurance- I specialize in helping families strengthen their bonds with one another, alleviating parental stress and improving children’s emotional dysregulation symptoms. Common behaviors I can help with: emotional outbursts, rigidity/inflexibility, non-compliance, aggression, tantrums, whining, fighting with siblings, low frustration tolerance, low self-esteem, anxiety, family conflict, difficulties controlling anger, and more! While I often work with parent-child dynamics, I can also provide individual support for kids and adults alike.

As a Licensed therapist I have found my work with all ages to be extremely rewarding. In psychotherapy some main goals are to learn skills to better navigate through life, cope with challenging life stressors and communicate feelings, thoughts and needs effectively. ( In my work with children, adolescents and teens I work collaboratively with your child and you (caregiver.) In my work with adults we will work as a team to meet your goals.

It takes courage to go to therapy and I applaud all those who seek treatment for themselves, whether it be to work on self growth and discovery or those tackling specific issues in their lives. I work collaboratively with all my clients almost as a detective to get to the bottom of why and what is derailing or challenging you in your life. Through the work we will unpack and unearth the root cause of these struggles and my hope is to allow you to feel you can cope, manage and grasp the struggles of life in an easier more manageable way.

My approach to therapy is one of active, yet gentle collaboration between therapist and client. My practice as a psychotherapist is to help cut through outdated narratives that often prevent us from creating the changes to live a satisfying and enriching life. I draw from my experiences working with individuals, couples, families and kids at a community mental health center, as well as at an elementary school. Additionally, I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and am a Prepare/Enright Premarital and Marriage Assessment Facilitator.

I have been working in the field of psychology for 25 years. My personal nature combined with superior training allows me to help people manage the complicated array of emotions that naturally occur among all of us. My post-doctoral training strengthened my ability to work effectively with children and their families, in addition to helping couples and parents. I will help you understand yourself, your relationships, so that you will be able to manage your feelings as opposed to experiencing that your feelings hold you hostage. It is then that you will feel more alive and more connected to yourself and your surroundings.

Early relationships shape the way the mind and brain develop from our young years into our adult lives. Our connections with caregivers induce neural circuit firings that persist throughout our lives, shaping how we think, feel, remember, and behave. When we are lucky enough to have secure attachment experiences in which we feel seen, safe, soothed, and secure—the “four S’s of attachment” that serve as the foundation for a healthy mind—these relational experiences stimulate the neuronal activation and growth of the integrative fibers of the brain.

It is a challenging and exhilarating task to undertake the journey to know oneself fully and to experience all parts of yourself. We each have a unique story and it is my privilege and honor to bear witness to yours. I provide individual, couples, adolescent/teen psychotherapy & art therapy services as well as Mindfulness and Neurofeedback to those who are trying to work through life's challenges.

Do you want to turn your life around? Do you hope to find a way out and end the pain you may be feeling now ? Are you going thru life now and thinking "I have to turn my life around". In my twenty years of experience, I have come to understand that sticking to the process of therapy is a courageous first step. When you are in pain, it is very hard to find the hope and motivation to stay the course. I know participating in therapy can help. I can help you reap these benefits. It requires committing to this process. Commitment is the key and I believe that helping you gain insight will give you the power to find your way out.

If you are looking to start therapy you have begun to take the first step in your healing journey. As someone who has always had a passion for helping others, becoming a therapist has allowed me to help the communities that matter most to me.

I am a bilingual clinical neuropsychologist with extensive experience evaluating infants, children, adults, and elderly. I also offer therapeutic support for anxiety, depression, as well as issues related to parenting and high conflict divorce/reunification. In treatment, I do not generally espouse one particular theoretical orientation, but instead I evaluate my patients from the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model. I believe that a person is a product of their environment, thus making it important to address a presenting issue on multiple levels in order to facilitate healthy adjustment and function within the existing milieu.
