Integrative telehealth psychotherapy · Adults 18–65 · New York & New Jersey
You've been holding it together for everyone else. Here, you don't have to.
You may be carrying more than the people around you realize. Anxiety, grief, adult ADHD, or old family patterns can settle in quietly and shape how you see yourself. Therapy helps you understand where they came from — and begin to set them down.
I'm Rose Saint Elien, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist. I help adults 18–65 in New York and New Jersey navigate anxiety, depression, childhood and family-of-origin trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, emotional regulation, and personal growth and self-esteem. A graduate of NYU Silver School of Social Work, I bring more than twenty-five years of mental health experience to this work.
My work also includes behavioral health consultation, training, and mental wellness support for individuals, families, schools, and organizations. I also provide immigration psychological evaluations in New York and New Jersey.

“I’m glad you’re here.”
I work with adults ages 18 to 65 through individual psychotherapy. I have experience working with adults who struggle with anxiety, the lasting effects of childhood and family-of-origin trauma, grief, ADHD, emotional regulation, and personal growth and self-esteem.

How I work
Integrative, collaborative, and practical.
My approach is integrative: rather than fitting every client into one model, I draw from several evidence-informed approaches and tailor them to your history, pace, and goals. Therapy is not a promise of instant results—it is a collaborative process in which we regularly reflect on what is helping and which tools fit your life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills
Psychodynamic exploration
Mindfulness
Strengths-based therapy and psychoeducation
Christian faith-based integration, when you want it
Your first session
Whether it’s your first time seeking therapy, or your 50th.
Either way, you will meet a therapist who greets you with a genuine smile and means it when she says, “I’m glad you’re here.” We start slowly. There is nothing you have to perform or get right. We will talk about what brought you here, what you hope feels different, and how we might work together—at your pace, in a space that is safe and free of judgment.

Explore therapy optionsA genuine relationship
The person you meet online is the therapist you meet in session.
I provide a warm, peaceful, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I am not here to hand you a miracle or tell you who to be—I am here as steady support while you work through what is hard and find your own way forward.
I genuinely love the work I do and believe therapy can create meaningful change. Together, we can understand the thoughts and emotional patterns causing distress, challenge negative thinking, and develop practical tools that support you beyond the therapy hour.
About Rose
Experience grounded in empathy and respect.
With extensive experience in mental health, I bring strong clinical knowledge and a deeply human approach to therapy. My work is centered on helping adults recognize patterns that keep them feeling stuck, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.
When I am not working, you will find me with my family, taking long walks, and singing—music and gospel ministry have always been part of who I am. I value honesty, respect, and treating people the way I would want my own family to be treated.
