Greetings. I'm Marsh Rose, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (LMFT #29870) with over 30 years of experience in private practice and clinical settings. I HAVE ONE OPENING IN MY SCHEDULE, AT 9 A.M. ON SATURDAYS. I offer voice sessions, live chat in real time, and messaging. I do not offer video at this time.

I believe in a casual but focused therapeutic environment where there’s room for humor as well as serious introspection. My clinical specialties include stress and coping, compassion fatigue, anxiety, grief and loss, and issues regarding aging.

My passion lies in helping my clients develop the necessary tools and skills to effectively problem solve and navigate their day-to-day lives, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience. Throughout my extensive career, I have garnered a deep understanding and expertise in treating a wide range of mental health conditions.

I have had the honor of working in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit, providing crucial support to families during the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Additionally, I have experience in custody mediation within the family court system, helping families navigate emotionally charged situations with compassion and understanding. One of the most transformative phases of my career was my 14-year tenure at the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center. Initially joining as a therapist, I later became the assistant director of the Psychosocial and Behavioral Science program. In this role, I worked directly with patients and their families, supervising an ad hoc team of psychosocial professionals who provided therapeutic and support services. This experience solidified my commitment to holistic care, addressing bio-psychosocial needs of individuals facing significant health challenges. During my time at the cancer center, I also established a part-time private practice. Here, I worked with adults, couples, and families dealing with a variety of life and mental health issues. In 1995, I transitioned to full-time private practice, where I have dedicated myself to helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals and improve their quality of life. I firmly believe that therapy should be a safe and nurturing space where individuals feel heard, validated, and supported. My approach is client-centered, focusing on creating a collaborative and empathetic environment that fosters personal growth and healing.
