Kristen Rose,

Hello and welcome! I am Kristen Rose, Licensed Social Worker, LSW, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who counsels teens (16+), young adults (18+), and adults in PA.  

A Warm Collaborative Approach

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. I believe feeling comfortable and connected is an important part of the healing process. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves while also feeling supported to grow.

My style is compassionate and approachable, but I’m not afraid to gently challenge clients when it helps foster insight and meaningful change. I have found humor to be a powerful therapeutic tool, helping to find lightness and perspective even during difficult seasons.

My Therapy Specialties

I frequently work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, caregiver stress, and relationship conflict. Other areas I can help include life transitions, divorce/separation, postpartum depression, infertility, and parenting challenges.

Whether you’re navigating a significant life change, feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors, or hoping to better understand long-standing patterns, I will meet you where you are and work collaboratively with you to identify your strengths, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

Therapy Techniques & Training

My approach to therapy is individualized because no two people—or their stories—are the same. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), person-centered therapy, and strengths-based interventions.

Together, we will create a treatment approach that aligns with your goals, values, and unique circumstances.

My Background

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and graduated with my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Temple University. Since earning my graduate degree and licensure, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals across the age spectrum. I began my career working in various mental health settings, most recently working in an emergency room as a medical social worker and at a hospice facility as an inpatient clinician.

A Little about Me

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, our three children, and our dog, Baxter. I love vacationing at the Outer Banks, NC, or anywhere warm and tropical. I’m passionate about my faith, as well as fitness, health, and overall wellness. These interests reflect my belief that caring for our mental health is just one part of living a balanced, fulfilling life.

Whether you’re seeking support during a difficult season or working toward personal growth and wellness goals, I would be honored to partner with you on your journey.
