As a Board-Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD), Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Chef with four decades of experience, I offer a distinctive integrative approach to sports performance counseling that combines sports nutrition, performance psychology, and mental health counseling. Licensed in Florida and Utah, I help professional, collegiate, military, tactical, and "life" athletes optimize mental and physical performance while navigating the unique demands of training, competition, recovery, and everyday life.

My expertise includes sports performance counseling, sports nutrition, mental performance, performance anxiety, injury rehabilitation, return-to-play, burnout, overtraining syndrome, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), body composition optimization, fueling for performance, hydration strategies, safe weight management for competition, and athlete transitions—including preparing for collegiate athletics, competing at elite levels, recovering from injury or illness, and transitioning into or out of professional sport.

I am a licensed mental health counselor providing individual therapy in-person and virtually. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Florida and completed my master’s degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida.

After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked at a domestic and sexual violence center for three years, providing crisis and individual support to survivors and their children. During graduate school, I gained experience providing counseling in medical clinics and worked alongside adolescent and pediatric physicians. I am passionate about working with teens (13+), young adults, college students, LGBTQ+, and survivors of intimate partner violence and childhood abuse.

Hi, I’m Rose Browne, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes meaningful healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, personality disorders, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic approach is primarily psychodynamic, which means we may explore how past experiences, relationships, emotions, and patterns influence the way you experience yourself and connect with others today. I also integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, based on your individual needs and goals. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, curious, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy is about more than managing symptoms—it can also be an opportunity to better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges. In addition to my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Counseling Psychology. My doctoral training continues to deepen my knowledge of psychological theory, assessment, research, multicultural perspectives, and evidence-based practice. Whether you're working through painful experiences, navigating a major transition, struggling in your relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

I am aware that committing to therapy can seem frightening and intensely overwhelming, and frequently, the absolute hardest phase is making the choice to begin. Despite that, you are here today, effectively launching your vital journey to heal and revitalize. I sincerely welcome the chance to interact with you and explore exactly how I can help you. My clinical method is deeply warm, compassionate, and interactive.

I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel truly seen and supported. Using a developmental framework, I help you explore your personal growth within your unique cultural background. Together, we will connect clinical research with your story, helping you navigate life's challenges and move forward with confidence.
