I am a psychotherapist and somatic practitioner.
I see adults, children, and families in person and online. 

I am passionate about supporting people through therapy.

I offer somatic/body-based interventions in addition to talk therapy,

and sessions that are entirely somatically-focused.

Services

I invite discussion around power and privilege. I am allied to and frequently work with people who identify as queer, gender-nonconforming, BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, kink, and are in or seek poly/non-traditional relationships.

I welcome creatives and those in service fields, and all who feel misunderstood, on the outside, or in the margins.

Please note, I currently have openings on M & Tu, late afternoon to evening. I am able to schedule single somatic sessions at other times.

Adult Therapy

Child and Parent Therapy

Solely Somatic Sessions

I have a special interest in working with adults on: anxiety, trauma, emotion regulation, relationships, self-esteem, decision-making, grief, and life transitions. Our sessions may include talking, somatic/body-based work, and skill-building. We may explore your mental, emotional, physical, and social strengths and needs, somatic experiences, patterns and held beliefs, the impact of past events, and your inner wisdom. I tend to draw from somatic, narrative, DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy, and trauma research. I encourage you to identify goals and let me know how best to help you.

I have extensive experience working with families and schools, and welcome children ages 5-13, parents, and families. I utilize play, art, and somatic therapy, and social-emotional learning tools. I provide parent and family sessions focused on parenting skills, increasing positive parent-child interactions and attunement, increasing and decreasing behaviors, and fostering a positive school experience. Some areas I treat: anger, traumatic events, adjusting to change, friendship skills, general/social/separation anxiety, frequent arguing, self-esteem, withdrawnness, school-based issues, OCD, and PANS/PANDAS.

I offer single or recurring somatic therapy sessions, informed by somatic and movement practices. I am currently training in Somatic Experiencing at the intermediate level. Somatic therapy aims to help the body heal from trauma, regulate the nervous system, and generally feel more connected, through exploring the body's senses, movement, thoughts, and nervous system states. While psychotherapy can include somatic work, a dedicated somatic processing session differs from traditional talk therapy. Please feel free to schedule a consultation to learn more or inquire about booking.

New Moon Somatic Workshop

I am excited to soon offer a new workshop for 2025 centered around intention setting, somatic practices, coping skill review, and movement inspired by dance, qigong, yoga, sound baths, special guests, and more. Offerings will change monthly. Held at Shawl Anderson Dance Center, close to each new moon. Please stay tuned, exact dates coming soon! *Please note, this is not a therapy group. While a portion of the content will be informed by my background in therapy, this is a multimodal group that is not intended to be a therapy group.

About Me

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #119120

Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #8087

Supervised by Amanda Morrison, MFT #113245 & LPCC #7562

Hello! My name is Rosalie Stillford. I am an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, supervised by Amanda Morrison, LMFT LPCC.  I believe each person can experience increased peace, acceptance, healing, and growth. I find the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful place to foster this.  I am a CODA - a child of DeafBlind and DeafDisabled parents. Because of this, I feel I am able to relate well to those in & close to the disability community, those with unique experiences, and those who feel misunderstood, on the outside, or in the margins. I received my BA in English Literature from UC Berkeley in 2003, Multiple Subject Teaching Credential in 2006, MA in Education in 2007, and MA in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute in 2015. I am currently in training towards designation as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. My therapy training included working with children through young adults in schools and agencies in West Contra Costa and SF. I have worked as an elementary school teacher since 2005, and champion using trauma-informed social and emotional learning practices in schools and therapy.​ I'm an East Bay native, and am proud to call Oakland home. I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and my cat Waldo, playing violin, yoga, dancing, camping, and reading.

Fees & Initial Consultation
