Rosanna Worthington, LCSW

(She/Her/Hers)

“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver” (Mr. Rogers)

Rosanna (Rosie) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of experience helping diverse children and families find healing, balance, and joy. Rosie is a TraumaPlay™ Certified Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist™ in-progress. 

Before joining the Mindful Connections team, Rosanna served as a school social worker for 11 years, supporting the mental health and social-emotional wellbeing of children and adolescents and advocating for their educational needs. She earned her Master’s of Social Work from the University of Southern California.

For children to explore their feelings and integrate new skills, they must first feel safe, connected, and competent. In other words, therapy must be fun! Rosanna taps into the natural language of children: play, expressive arts, nature, and rhythm & movement. Drawing upon neuroscience, she creates developmentally-appropriate treatment plans that interweave mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Theraplay techniques, Child-Centered Play Therapy, eco-therapy, sandtray therapy, and somatic techniques.

Rosanna honors that (1) parents know their children best, (2) parents are trying their hardest, and (3) progress requires reinforcement and practice outside of the therapy room. Rosanna approaches parents with curiosity and empathy, providing them with practical tools and resources to support their child’s growth.

During her free time, Rosanna enjoys gardening, qi gong, crossword puzzles, and spoiling her cat and dog.
