Elise Mai Rose, Associate Therapist, MSW-I

I offer sessions that are client focused, non-judgemental and curious. In our sessions, we will co-create a space where you can explore your struggles as well as your successes with compassion, creativity and humor. You are the expert on your own experiences, and I will approach our sessions with humility, fostering an environment where you can feel both safe and challenged to grow. I believe in a relational approach that is trauma-informed and centers consent and individual autonomy in the healing process, allowing you to show up exactly as you are and feel seen and heard in our sessions together.

Modality and Approach

I approach my sessions from the viewpoint that our work should always be focused on you, your needs and how we can work together in a collaborative way. I integrate a range of modalities in treatment, focusing on a relational framework and drawing from elements of psychodynamic theory, CBT, and mindfulness. I ground my work in an anti-oppressive and queer-affirming approach that acknowledges the many experiences we bring on both an individual and social level. I use a strengths-based approach so we can work together to identify how to use your resources and resiliencies to process your emotions and create positive change in your life.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being?

After a busy day, I wind down by cuddling with my dog and spending quality time with my loved ones. I make sure I stay mindful and active, incorporating karate practice and weightlifting into my weekly schedule.
