Rosalie Piedra, LPC-S, RPT

Welcome! I’m so happy that you have found your way here, and really value your time in learning about our practice and who I am as a therapist. Many clients who come to work with me are searching for support at a time when they feel stuck, tired, or like they have already tried many ways to find relief from stressors, maybe even traumas. I see mental health as a continuous journey, and really aim to help my clients feel a renewed sense of hope that they can heal from their struggles, find new ways to cope, and experience motivation in their future. I see my clients as the experts in their lives, while I am there to provide new insights, offer skills and tools, and most importantly offer a safe connection to allow for exploration and processing.

I have a passion for working with children, teens, and adults in therapy, along with my animal partner, Teddy. Teddy is a mini goldendoodle and absolutely loves meeting with clients of all ages. To learn more about Teddy, check out his page here. Our work with clients and niche areas include play therapy, sandtray therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR), somatic experiencing and animal-assisted counseling. While these are all such powerful and healing approaches, allow me to share more about who I am as a therapist.

As a therapist, I always aim to be transparent in my therapeutic relationships and make an effort to demystify our journey together. I begin every therapeutic relationship by getting to know you, and learning more about your goals to begin identifying how best to approach our work together. I know therapy is not a one size fits all approach. Thus, I find it important to focus on the connection, relationship, and history of each individual client or family I work with to show up with intentionality. I am gentle in my approach and find it important to be authentic.
