I believe that the heart of therapy lies in the connection we build together. When you work with me, I take the time to understand your history, cultural background, and the key moments that have shaped you. Together, we’ll create sessions filled with support, laughter, and reflection, empowering you to create a life that reflects your truest self. I've always had an innate interest in deeply understanding people. My diverse experience spans private practices, suicide hotlines, inpatient hospitals, and schools, which has allowed me to work with a wide range of populations.

Rosaline Stevenson is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am passionate about caring for patients with mental disorders, and I pride myself on providing compassionate and timely care to my patients. What I love about my job is getting to know the patients that I care for. Knowing that I can make an impact on their lives inspires me to come to work every day.

Are you struggling with a pattern of over-extending yourself? Do you find yourself taking care of others, sometimes at your own expense? Have you noticed a not-so-secret desire for perfectionism lurking behind some of your choices? Would others describe you as "ultra-independent"? Do you often struggle with saying "no" and with stopping the worrying and planning? Have you noticed often feeling tired, irritable, burned out, and possibly resentful? How about frequent headaches, stomach issues, and body aches? Would you say all of this places a strain on your mood, relationships, work, and health?

Everyone suffers from mental health issues at some point in their life—whether minor or major—and it’s important to have help from someone you can trust. I aim to establish trust by creating a safe and comfortable environment for you to share your story with me. Regardless of your background, history, appearance, diagnosis, identity, or beliefs, I regard you unconditionally and genuinely care about your well-being. In our sessions, I utilize a therapeutic approach that focuses on the improvement of mental health through 1) a healthy lifestyle, 2) mental calm and clarity, and 3) self-awareness: of both your problematic views and life-directing values. Together we can carefully identify your barriers to mental health, develop clear recovery goals, and help you find ways to implement action plans that align with your values. My role is to accompany and guide you in your path of healing. As a mental health professional, it’s essential to have my own practice of well-being in order to better help others heal. I have over 15 years of experience practicing mindful living, meditation, and instructing others in mindfulness-based practices, before as a Buddhist monk, and now as a mental health counselor. I specialize in helping people manage their anxiety, depression, cravings, and anger, as well as minimize problematic judgment and rumination.

I’m bilingual, speaking Mandarin Chinese as well as English, and I have years of counseling experience working with Chinese-American people suffering from chronic & severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis.

When you’re ready to move out of the confusion of your story and find clarity in it, while gaining the tools to help cope with anxiety, depression, or other areas affecting your life, I am here for you. I am a person-centered Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who utilizes various theories to help you on your counseling journey in order to create and achieve your goals. My mission is to be an objective, receptive, and open-minded counselor who acts in your best interest at all times. My specialties include helping college-aged students navigate adulthood and new responsibilities, with goals of managing time and stress better; individuals going through relationship problems, boundary issues, and finding their authentic selves; adults who have experienced loss or trauma, whether that be as part of their past or an ongoing situation in their life; patients who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders, with goals of not being controlled by their disorders; and patients with goals of gaining more confidence and self-esteem. I look forward to assisting you in realizing your mental health goals as we work together. Grab a cup of coffee or tea – any drink really. Get comfortable, and expect to be heard and seen, able to talk openly and honestly without judgement, when you’re in my care. I offer a person-centered approach that revolves around you and your unique needs, and is based around core values of acceptance, autonomy, and being genuine. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy, I guide you toward discovering who you are and what you want most out of life, as I am passionate about healing through the changing of thought processes. I knew I wanted to be a counselor at a young age, as friends opened up to me easily. This interest started me along a journey of self-discovery, where I learned more about myself as a person and how to heal all parts of me, which helps me assist others in their own healing journeys. More experiences along the way led to my schooling and commitment to providing person-centered care with an intuitive and open-minded perspective. In my free time, I love honing my green thumb skills by being around and taking care of my many, many plants! More hobbies include immersing myself in nature, learning new things, caring for animals, and crocheting.

I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and the complexities of major life transitions. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what’s holding you back and create a path forward that feels manageable and authentic. Trauma often leaves us feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed. I understand how hard it can be to face these feelings, especially when the past feels like it has a hold on the present. My approach is open, empathetic, and judgment-free, providing a space to process experiences and emotions at your own pace. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, a sudden life-altering event, or years of stress and struggle, we’ll approach it with curiosity and care. In addition to trauma, I have experience with body image concerns, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and navigating life as a young adult. I know these issues can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. Together, we’ll focus on practical steps to improve your day-to-day life while exploring the deeper patterns influencing your thoughts and actions. I use evidence-based approaches like DBT and CBT while tailoring our work to your specific needs. Therapy should empower you to become your own expert, offering insights and skills you can carry with you long after our sessions end. My goal is to help you uncover your full potential and take meaningful action toward the life you want. Outside of work, I balance my love of psychology with a passion for learning about the world through books, historical documentaries, and creative pursuits. I know the importance of finding joy and intellectual engagement outside of life’s challenges, a value I bring to my work with clients. If you’re ready to start your journey or just want to explore what therapy could look like for you, let’s take the first step together.

I have experience practicing in many settings, including inpatient and outpatient hospital and agency settings, high school settings, private practice, and both for-profit and non-profit agencies focusing on mental health and substance abuse disorders, and university counseling centers.

I utilize therapeutic techniques and exercises to help my clients learn and grow in life, between our sessions. I believe that no one needs to walk this life journey alone. My goal is to help my clients be who they desire and who they are designed to be in this world, to work through issues in a way that enhances their strengths and experiences, and to explore thinking, feeling, and behavioral patterns.
