Congratulations for taking the initiative to research therapists for yourself or someone you care about.

Talking or meeting with a therapist is a constructive way to work out coping strategies, improve relationships and feel more confident in your decisions. Exploring your thoughts and feelings with a professional and compassionate listener will help guide you in identifying areas of your life or behavior that are not serving you well, and in collaboration, we will find ways to manage and work through these obstacles.

A key ingredient of therapy is having a safe and welcoming environment to either share or express your hopes, dreams and disappointments. A place to better understand what stands between you and your realization of your aspirations.

Meet Deb Rosen

For 30 years, Deb has counseled a diverse clientele in NYC, and most recently in Connecticut. She earned her MA, EdM in counseling psychology from Columbia University and her bachelor’s degree from Boston University.

She started her career as an in-patient psychiatric rehabilitation counselor at Metropolitan Hospital in NYC. During this time she established and managed the first hospital-wide HIV support group, and was actively involved throughout the city in public awareness and education about AIDS.

In 1993, she began counseling adolescents, young adults and their parents through NYC’s Alternative High Schools. During this time, Deb worked with individuals and groups on a range of social and emotional issues. As a trained mediator and crisis intervention counselor, she was often called upon to assist in high risk situations. Deb's contributions during her tenure were rewarded by the United Federations of Teachers and Department of Education with a Counselor of the Year Award. In 2018, Deb relocated to Connecticut where she started her private practice. Currently, she works with graduate students and employees of the Yale community and other clients throughout CT.

Her practice reflects an eclectic approach guided by her clients’ individual goals and intentions. Deb’s training in cognitive behavioral therapy through the Beck Institute, interpersonal psychotherapy and multicultural counseling, along with her decades of experience allow her to successfully tailor her approach to her clients’ specific needs. She is dedicated to working collaboratively and creatively with her clients towards their therapy goals.

Deb also has a passion for pottery. She has been hand-building for over twenty years, which has helped to cultivate the mindfulness and focus she applies to her psychotherapy practice.
