Therapist

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.

Becca Ward

Becca Ward

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Johnson City, TN


Hi, I’m Becca.

Reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step. Once you’re here, it shouldn’t have to feel hard. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can figure that out together.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate in nursing, and I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, neurodivergence, and the complicated stuff that doesn’t always fit neatly into a diagnostic box.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. More than anything, I believe good mental health care starts with actually listening to you. I want to know what’s working, what isn’t, what you’ve already tried, and what you want your life to feel like.

You are more than a diagnosis, and your care should feel that way.

I work primarily with women navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, guilt and shame, career stress, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are capable and successful on the outside but may feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.

I have advanced training in EMDR, an evidence-based approach that can help you process difficult or traumatic experiences that may still be affecting you today. I also use a variety of approaches based on your individual needs, goals, and comfort level.

Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing, how past experiences and current stressors may be affecting you, and what you need to move forward. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and create meaningful change in your life.
