About me
Hello and Welcome
I am Rose Patterson, LPC and EMDR-certified therapist.
I obtained my Master's Degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling in 2018 from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems). My work has taught me the impact of stress and trauma on individuals' mental health, as well as the factors that contribute to resilience.
I've since worked with clients at every stage of life. I have witnessed the unique and meaningful ways that people adapt to loss and stress, the patterns that can cause disconnection, and the courage individuals show in their commitment to growth and healing.
Approach
I bring warmth, curiosity and insight to therapy.
I bring practical frameworks to help understand and shift the patterns that leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or out of alignment. My work is collaborative and attentive to identity, nervous-system needs, and the lived complexity each person brings into the room.
Having experienced therapy as both a client and a therapist, it is deeply important to me that my clients feel held in a space that is both spacious and structured.
I am actively engaged in the therapeutic process as both a witness and a guide.
Modalities
Ways we work together.
Internal Family Systems
Understanding your internal ecosystem.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Updating painful blueprints held in core memories.
Breathwork, meditation, visualization and skillful communication.
Theory
We find clarity, vitality and purpose through connection.
I believe that humans have the capacity to experience clarity, vitality and purpose by staying in connection with themselves, with others, and with their greater environment. We maintain this connection by learning to sit with our emotions and to honor our authentic needs and values in skillful ways.

The process
Awareness, acceptance and kindness
Life’s stressors and losses can leave wounds without the care they need to heal.
To protect ourselves, we develop blueprints—patterns of thought, emotion and behavior—that can eventually disconnect us from life.
Healing involves updating these blueprints and meeting our wounded and protective parts with care and collaboration.
With awareness, acceptance and kindness, therapy offers a space to feel seen, understood and guided toward greater alignment.
