Hello! I am Dr. Rose. I am a psychologist with 15 years of experience providing therapy services. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Cincinnati VA Medical Hospital and obtained my graduate education from Indiana State University. I am dually licensed in Wisconsin and Indiana. While residing in Indiana, I worked in a very rural and low income area. I am currently based in Wisconsin, where I have the opportunity to work with individuals from both the more populated areas, as well as the rural areas. Additionally, I am based along the I94 corridor, so I have an interest in providing treatment to individuals who are victims of sex trafficking. Other populations I have a strong interest in working with are the LGBTQ+ population, specifically transgender individuals. I also work with individuals with depression, Bipolar, anxiety, ADHD, anger, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship problems. In my work with individuals, I find that it can often be helpful to explore the impact that the childhood upbringing and nuclear family has on present problems and relationships. I typically use an eclectic approach in sessions, adopting a variety of techniques. Some techniques I typically use are Psychodynamic, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-centered Therapy. However, I most often use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
My therapeutic approach is first, and foremost, to be real. You can always expect that I will give you honest and direct answers. I am a caring provider and I want you to succeed in being the best person you can be. I will work closely with you as a team to help you accomplish your treatment goals.

Prior to seeking help, I had been having long-term issues with my gender identity, coming out, and feeling like my experiences and feelings weren't valid. She was incredibly helpful in respectfully but efficiently analyzing my history and feelings, providing a (hugely reaffirming) diagnosis, and building my confidence while getting me on the right track to begin my transition.
Finding help for LGBTQIA+ issues can be incredibly scary because there are a lot of mental help professionals out there who can be actively harmful to people in such a vulnerable state. This was a big fear of mine when seeking help, but Dr. Fernandez very quickly established herself as an invaluable ally and source of stability to help me find my feet amidst all my confusion and self-doubt.

Dr Fernandez has helped me grow as a person so much over the past 7 months. I have been going through some stuff lately (similar to what I was going through last year when I started therapy) and I am able to see how much stronger I am mentally over just a few months. She understands that sometimes I need to just talk about everyday challenges but also get deeper when needed, and she always provides helpful and useful prompts to deal with my issues. I can't recommend Dr Fernandez enough.

Dr Fernandez is a great listener. Definitely could give more feedback into concerns and issues. She typically doesn’t give feedback unless it’s asked for. Otherwise she’s a calming peaceful person. Sessions with her could be more structured though.

Dr. Fernandez has always respected every topic I’ve wanted to discuss and brought a logical and different approach to the problem to help me realize where my issues really were coming from.

Dr. Fernandez is a counselor that is easy to talk to. She helps you question where you might be acting biased and challenges your thinking. She listens and understand your concerns and tries to steer you in a positive direction. I have benefitted greatly from having her as a counselor. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, family & relationship problems.

Working with Dr. Fernandez has really helped me. I was hesitant to start counseling, and afraid that it would be overwhelming or that I couldn't do it. Dr Fernandez has made it approachable and I feel like I'm really making progress. It's not a magic bullet; these things take time. But I'm 3 months in and I'm feeling like I finally have a healthy way to talk about things, and I have someone who understands me and really listens/provides great perspective. I am learning more about myself and am committed to improving myself, and I feel really motivated to tackle things that have bothered me for years that I was previously afraid to confront alone. Dr. Fernandez has really made a difference.
