My name is Rose Thomas, and I bring over a decade of comprehensive experience in nursing, with a strong background in family practice and chronic disease management. I began my career as a registered nurse, providing bedside care on a cardiac floor, before earning my Master of Science in Nursing from Downstate University.

During my years of service, particularly in underserved communities, I became acutely aware of the critical shortage of psychiatric services available to patients. This realization motivated me to pursue further specialization, and I subsequently obtained a post-master's certificate in psychiatry from Maryville University.

My practice philosophy is rooted in patient-centered, compassionate, and evidence-based care. I am committed to creating a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel valued and empowered in their mental health journey. My dual expertise in physical and psychological health enables me to take a holistic, integrative approach to each individual's needs. My goal is to support clients in achieving meaningful and lasting well-being, as well as a higher quality of life.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with over 22 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of mental health challenges. I take a client-centered approach that emphasizes trust, connection, and positive reinforcement. I have extensive experience addressing behavioral concerns rooted in childhood experiences and helping clients understand how early patterns continue to impact their lives today.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in Sociology, bridging clinical practice and research. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, life transitions, racial/ethnic identity and relational challenges, and burnout, with a focus on college students, young adults, Black women, and other people of color. Using a relational approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to embrace your authentic self. My goal is to help you move through your experiences with clarity and a deeper connection to who you truly are.

You deserve a life that isn’t defined by guilt, anxiety, or the pressure to be everything for everyone.

Many of my clients are exhausted from being the responsible one. They're the problem-solver, the caretaker, the one who keeps it together. Everyone seems to need something from them, and somehow they're expected to handle it all without dropping a ball.

Meanwhile, they're battling anxiety, self-doubt, guilt, overthinking, relationship stress, or the feeling that they've lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.

As a bilingual English and Spanish therapist, I work with people who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start understanding what's actually keeping them stuck. Therapy with me isn't about pretending everything is fine or endlessly talking in circles. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, learning new ways of responding to life's challenges, and creating meaningful change.
