About Me
Rose Winkler (they, them), MA LPC
Hi there, I’m Rose (they / them). I’m a trauma & relationship therapist that works with adults.
My style as a therapist is relational, collaborative, warm, & direct.
I’m a creative human and am eclectic in my approach to therapy weaving somatic & mindfulness-based approaches, IFS-informed parts work, EMDR, & attachment-based therapies.
My work as a trauma therapist is focused on helping adults process experiences of childhood trauma and complex trauma. As a childhood trauma survivor myself, I am passionate about supporting others on their healing journey & know just how tender this work can be. Walking my own healing path gives me hope that things can feel better and the way you carry the past can shift.
As a queer human (genderqueer & pansexual) I love offering an affirming and supportive space to transgender, nonbinary, & other identities in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community who want to engage in deeper trauma processing or relational work with their partner(s). I also love working with partners & individuals in diverse relationship structures (polyamory / CNM / relationship anarchy / etc.) & welcome monogamous couples as well. I am committed to offering gender affirming, sexuality-affirming, and sex positive therapy.
I view counseling through a social justice lens and acknowledge our identities, and how society views these identities, impact our lived experience. I am committed to offering social justice-informed therapy.
I’m a neurodivergent human & offer neurodiversity affirming therapy. This means that I honor and celebrate neurodiversity as natural variety in the ways our brains & bodies think, feel, function, & experience the world (as opposed to viewing neurodiversity as mental illness or something to be changed or fixed). I also acknowledge that dominant society is not structured in supportive ways to many neurodivergent identities and there can be tremendous impacts and trauma due to this reality.
On a more personal note, some of my favorite things are trail running, walking with my partner & dog, & gardening. I’m often reading multiple books at the same time and being a life long learner is an important part of my identity. Small details in nature make me smile. I admire everything from textures of mosses, reflections in dew drops, and how ice crystallizes around plants – this is my jam.
If you are interested in working together, please feel free to reach out. ✨
