Find a therapist in Richmond, TX — covered by insurance

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with experience supporting teens, young adults, older adults, and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from UT Austin’s Steve Hicks School of Social Work, with a focus on clinical practice and healthcare.

For the past several years, I worked in a cancer hospital providing psychological support to patients and their families as they navigated serious illness, uncertainty, loss, and major life transitions. This experience shaped my particular interest in grief and loss, medical trauma, chronic illness, spirituality, and the emotional impact of health challenges.

I believe our experiences become part of our story, but they do not have to define what comes next. My goal is to create a warm, authentic space where you can better understand what you are experiencing, reconnect with your strengths, and find meaning and a path forward. I am also conversational in Spanish.

I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working in a variety of treatment center settings, helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and care. Throughout my career, I have specialized in treating abuse-related concerns and supporting clients in their healing journey. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, recovery, and resilience. My broad professional background has allowed me to serve diverse populations and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

My name is Nurse Rose, a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I specialize in culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care for children, adolescents, and adults. At The Rose Yarde Psych & IV Med Spa, I offer medication management, psychotherapy, IV wellness infusions, and hormone therapy. Passionate about suicide prevention and empowering others, I’m here to help clients achieve health, healing, and balance in their lives.

I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice for more than 10 years. Prior to private practice, my career began as an inpatient therapist on locked units at psychiatric facilities Cambridge Hospital (currently Sun Behavioral Hospital) and West Oaks Hospital. In addition to my inpatient work at West Oaks Hospital, I was a group facilitator with both adolescents and adults for the outpatient extension of the hospital: The Excel Center. My work at The Excel Center involved daily group therapy in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).

Because of my work with the acute psychiatric population in intensive treatment settings, I am able to work as a generalist practitioner. I work with most issue from depression, anxiety, and OCD to trauma, addiction and relationships struggles... just to name a few.

Sometimes life shifts in ways we do not expect. You may notice yourself reacting differently in certain situations, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, or getting stuck in thoughts you cannot quiet. You might find yourself wondering why you ruminate, why certain people or moments affect you so deeply, or why you act differently in relationships, even when you want things to be better.

These reactions are often linked to attachment experiences from childhood, unresolved past experiences, or even traumatic events later in life. The body and mind hold onto these experiences, and they can surface when we least expect them. Therapy is a space to slow down and understand what is happening, rather than feeling confused or frustrated by it.

I work with children, teens, and adults using an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach that helps clients understand the conflicts that happen inside themselves and within their relationships. Many people experience parts of themselves that want different things at the same time, such as closeness and distance, or feel strong emotions that do not seem to match the situation. Therapy helps make sense of these internal struggles with curiosity rather than judgment.

I have lived in and outside of Mexico, Houston, Seattle, and Maine, and have felt at home in a number of ecosystems. I’ve held many titles: marine biologist, research scientist, environmental educator, elementary school teacher, farmer, barista, mom...I come from a multi-national, multi-cultural family. When I’m not therapizing, I’m outside with my family and my pets, gardening, writing, moving my body, and goofing off.

I dedicated the first part of my career to connecting with nature through science, outdoor adventure education, and horticulture, while doing my own therapeutic work. Nature has always been part of my healing and how I care for others. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BS in Aquatic and Fisheries Science, and earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. I have 8 years of combined experience in eating disorder treatment at every level of care. My 5 years of private practice experience has centered on complex trauma presentations.
