Mucella Rose

I support adults ages 18–55 navigating anxiety, stress, overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, depression, emotional regulation, self-worth, relationship challenges, career or academic concerns, and major life transitions. I also work with clients exploring identity, culture, values, spirituality, family dynamics, and belonging.

I earned an M.A. in Psychological Counseling and an M.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University and bring over five years of clinical experience across private practice, school-based, and university settings. My bilingual, bicultural background informs my culturally responsive approach and appreciation for how our experiences, relationships, and identities shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.

I take a warm, relational, and integrative approach tailored to you. Grounded in Person-Centered therapy, I draw from ACT, CBT, IFS, psychodynamic, mindfulness, somatic, and strengths-based approaches to balance deeper exploration with practical tools.

I listen deeply and create space for you to feel heard and understood, while also offering honest feedback, thoughtful questions, new perspectives, and gentle direction when helpful. Together, we’ll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences, strengthen mind-body awareness, and build practical coping skills. My goal is to help you deepen self-awareness, strengthen self-trust, recognize your strengths, and create meaningful change aligned with your values and goals.

Our first session is a structured intake focused on getting to know you as a whole person. I’ll take time to understand your background, identity, culture, mental health history, current concerns, relationships, strengths, and goals, while also reviewing confidentiality and any important risk or safety concerns. You don’t need to have everything figured out—we’ll begin together, at a pace that feels comfortable.

We’ll start identifying meaningful, bigger-picture goals for therapy and what you hope to gain from our work. As therapy progresses, sessions become more flexible and guided by what feels most important to you each week. I’ll help you recognize patterns and strengths, explore new perspectives, develop practical skills, and connect our conversations to your larger goals as your needs and priorities evolve.

The intake also gives us an opportunity to make sure working together feels like a good fit for your needs.
