Services
I invite discussion around power and privilege. I welcome those who identify as queer, gender-expansive, BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, kink, and are in or seek poly/ENM and other non-traditional relationships, as well as musicians, artists, writers, helping professionals, and those who feel alone in their experience, on the outside, or in the margins.
Adult Therapy
I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, relationships, complex trauma, emotion regulation, self-esteem, identity exploration, decision-making, and life transitions. I offer a holistic approach, meaning that we may explore your cognitive, emotional, physical, and social well-being and needs, as well as movement, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, thought and behavioral patterns, the impact of past events, held beliefs, and inner wisdom. Modalities I frequently use include somatic, narrative, and depth-oriented therapy, and DBT/CBT tools. I encourage you to identify goals and let me know how best to support you.
Teen, Preteen, & Parent Therapy
I work with youth ages 11 and up, and parents with children of all ages. I work with youth on: friendship skills, emotion regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, adjusting to change, fostering a positive school experience, OCD, PANS, and identity formation. I welcome teens working to maintain growth after completing IOP or residential programs, and neurodivergent youth. With teens I use social-emotional learning (SEL) skills, DBT skills, coping tools, and art therapy, along with many of the modes I use with adults. With parents, I address skill-building, increasing positive parent-child interactions and attunement, and school-based issues.
About Me & Fees
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT # 156294
Welcome to my practice. My name is Rosalie Stillford. I am a somatic, narrative, and depth-oriented psychotherapist. I feel honored that I'm able to be a therapist, and get to know and support clients through therapy.
I find the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful place to foster increased healing, acceptance, connection, and growth.
I am a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult) with DeafBlind and DeafDisabled parents, and primarily lived with extended family as a child. Due to my upbringing, I feel that I'm well-positioned to support clients with unique lived experiences, and those who often feel alone in their experience, on the outside, or in the margins.
I received a BA in English Literature from UC Berkeley in 2003, Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and MA in Education from Cal State East Bay in 2006, and MA in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute in 2015. I bring over 20 years of experience as an elementary school teacher. My early therapy training included working with children through young adults in West Contra Costa and SF.
I'm an East Bay native, proud to call Oakland home. I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and cats Archie and Colby, as well as playing violin, yoga, camping, biking, hiking, and reading. These activities inform and enrich my therapy practice.
