I aim to support clients on their journey of greater understanding of themselves and their world. Together we will create a space for growth and find meaning in the trials and transitions that are inherent to life. I have a passion for working with women and couples as they prepare for pregnancy and parenthood. My training and experience includes areas of perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, preparation for parenthood, life transitions, teen mood & anxiety disorders, and attachment. I am available to work with adults and teens. I enjoy working with diverse cultures and the LGBTQ+ community.

I established my practice to provide sound therapy to those who are seeking to grow, heal, transition--to shift from established ways of coping that are no longer helpful and to heal from past pains that cause present distress. My approach is very engaging and practical and helps individuals and couples manage and experience their life and relationships in more stable and positive ways. I am able to help those with a myriad of life's stresses and complex emotions. For me, the client-therapist relationship is an honor and a privilege as we share this work together.

I specialize in helping individuals live their authentic lives with integrity, intention and purpose. I provide a judgment free, supportive therapeutic environment for adults and teens to identify and manifest their personal goals. Collaboratively we will identify the habits or patterns that are holding you back from living your preferred life. I focus on person-centered therapeutic approaches with an emphasis on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused brief therapy. I am honored to help my client’s not just survive but thrive in today’s uncertain world.

Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed? Are your relationships nurturing or has life circumstances left those connections feeling stagnant? I believe in helping individuals achieve their best selves through a strengths-based perspective, focusing on a collaborative process to create the therapeutic goals together. Our therapeutic plan will reflect you as a whole person taking into consideration your body, spirit, emotional, and mental awareness. Pain does not discriminate and seeking quality care is a fundamental component of starting the journey of healing.

Eastside Insight is the psychotherapy practice of Rose Gillis. Eastside's name, logo, and motto reflect the belief that the elements needed for overcoming an issue are already within. Pulling this intelligence into consciousness is a form of learning called insight. When insight becomes blocked then a relationship with a confidant, who doesn’t feel burdened by your troubles, can help in the process of bringing your truth forward into awareness. It is important then to find a therapist who you connect with, is objective, and supports your needs. The website eastsideinsight.com was created for you, with this pursuit in mind.

What are you looking for right now? Are you exhausted, hurting, anxious, or depressed? Perhaps you’re looking to grow as a person, to understand yourself more deeply, or explore issues from the past. Maybe you have concerns with your relationship, or you're fighting too much with your kids. It can be lonely and isolating. Whatever weighs on you, I'd love to be a resource and a support.

My goal is to provide a safe place for open processing about life’s many challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, LGBTQ+ issues, relational issues, and self-love. I am passionate about helping individuals, families and couples return to a place of balance in their lives.

The weight of depression and anxiety can be relentlessly discouraging. Many folks feel trapped, and exhausted. As a therapist, I will work to guide you to a place that feels hopeful again. My therapeutic approach emphasizes a caring and attentive experience that builds upon lasting progress. There will be rich opportunities to work deeply at the heart of what troubles you. Although change is not always a comfortable process, it can be much easier with support.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. With over eight years of experience, I currently serve as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. Among my areas of expertise are children and adolescents, behavioral disorders of childhood, family conflict, and couples issues.

I am a holistic, integrative, person-centered, culturally considerate therapist for adolescents, individuals, partners and families. I am curious, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I believe communication with yourself and others is at the heart of successful relationships. I also believe that you know what you need to heal and my job is to help you get more in touch with that part of yourself. As an empathetic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness and sense of agency through mindful observation, personal exploration, and collaborative experimentation.

If you’re struggling with depression or anxiety, I am a warm, empathetic counselor who loves working with people who are looking to change but don’t know how. I love helping my clients flourish in a safe environment that is accepting and nurturing, and that is what I try to create in my therapy sessions. I work well with people who want to find out who they are and dig deep into the process of therapy. Conversely, I also like to focus on practical approaches that will help you feel unstuck and get you back on track. I love working with the LGBTQ+ community and have experience and expertise working with teens and young adults.

I am currently starting online support groups for dealing with these turbulent times. The next one begins January 12th and runs for 8 Tuesday afternoons, 2-4pm. We will provide a place to share and some neuroscience based tools for coping with the stress. Total cost is $200. Contact me through this website to find out more. All of my sessions are currently online or by phone. I also work with individuals via telehealth.

I enjoy working with folks who can feel overwhelmed in life and need help maintaining focus and help finding their way to rest on a harsh planet. My focus is working with anxiety and traumas and helping clients navigate transitions in many areas in many forms and sizes. I use an approach that looks at how we exist in the world and examines suffering from a personal perspective, but also from a social justice, feminist and transformative justice perspective. I believe this is your time, space and story to tell.

I am passionate about providing holistic, strength based and person-centered therapeutic services. My practice is rooted in compassion. I honor all identities, complexities and experiences. I work well with clients living with anxiety and/or depression, clients looking to increase self-compassion, clients exploring identity issues, clients struggling to voice their feelings/needs, clients with difficult life changes and clients interested in creative expression. In our work together, we will not look at what is 'wrong with' you, rather what has happened in your life. My goal is to help you find meaningful ways to be in the present.

I believe when you invest time in yourself amazing insights and changes can occur. I work with women and adolescent girls with a range of challenges from depression and anxiety to substance use issues, bullying in school and grief/loss.

I have worked in social services since 2007. I have experience working with youth and families involved in foster care, adoption, behavioral and crisis services, and complex childhood trauma. I am passionate about working with marginalized populations and with those who feel they don’t fit within societal constructs. I am supportive of all gender expressions, sexual orientations, and family compilations.

I am a licensed mental health professional with over ten years of experience working with adults not much unlike you. My focus has been supporting people diagnosed with chronic and persistent mental health issues, people in recovery from substance use disorders and other addictions, those who have experienced childhood or other traumas, families or partners in conflict, and those struggling with acceptance. I consider my scope of expertise to be anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship/family conflict, relationships, challenges with boundaries, existential issues, career direction, and addictions.

I can help you come back to your core; to your true and divine self. The truth and the future are that connection with and expression of the imagination, consciousness, and authentic energy with which one is born are key to living in a positive and effective way, as well as with a state of wholeness, health, wealth, joy, and enlightenment.

Therapy is something you have probably contemplated for awhile. It takes a lot of courage to work on tough issues that are making your life less fulfilling than you have envisioned. People seek counseling for different reasons. It can be something from your past that you feel it is time to work on or help finding your direction and motivation to reach your goals. I work with you to overcome whatever blocks are in the way of living the life you want to live.The important thing is to bring more joy into your life.
