Services
My practice supports and welcomes queer, lgbtq+, trans, nonbinary, poly, non-monogamous, kinky, and questioning clients.
I also welcome musicians, artists, helping professionals, and those who feel misunderstood, on the outside, or in the margins.
I make space for discussion of power and privilege and how it impacts our experiences and mental health.
Adult Therapy
I work most often with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, identity, self-esteem, decision-making, healthy habits, and relationships. My approach is somatic, narrative, relational, and depth-oriented, and draws tools from CBT and DBT. I offer somatic/body-based interventions alongside talk therapy, and sessions that are entirely somatically focused. Our sessions may include somatic work, talking, skill-building, looking at the impact of past events, mindfulness, movement, and plenty of space for sharing and listening. I warmly welcome those who feel unique or different from others.
Adolescent, Parent, and Family Therapy
I work with adolescents ages 12+, parents, and families. I support youth around social skills, anxiety, emotion regulation, self-esteem, building coping tools, adjusting to change, fostering a positive school experience, and identity exploration. I also see teens working to maintain growth after completing an IOP, PHP, or residential treatment. In addition to the modalities I use with adults, I use social-emotional learning tools, DBT for teens, and art. I support parents and families with building positive relationships, communication, attunement, school-based issues, and supporting their child's therapy goals and growth.
About Me
Rosalie Stillford, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #156294
she/they
Welcome to my practice. My name is Rosalie. My approach is somatic, relational, and depth-oriented, and draws from CBT and DBT tools. I truly feel honored to do this work and to get to know and support clients. ​​​I find the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful place to foster 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 their experience is singular, isolating, or not well-understood by others.
​​
I received a BA in English from UC Berkeley in 2003, Multiple Subject Teaching Credential in 2005 and MA in Education in 2006 from Cal State East Bay, 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 agencies.
​​​
I'm an East Bay native, proud to call Oakland home. I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and cats Archie and Cosmo, as well as playing violin, hiking, dance, camping, yoga, and reading. These activities inform and enrich my therapy practice.
