Rose Rittinger, LMSW, CLS
Nice to “meet” you! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years combined experience working with children and families in clinical & non clinical settings. My bachelor's degree is in child development from Michigan State University, and my master's degree in social work is from Boston University. I have experience, training, and a passion for working with perinatal mental health for birthing and non-birthing parents, which includes everything from infertility to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders to traumatic births and losses and NICU stays.
I also am passionate about working with anxiety. In our world right now, having anxiety can feel like fighting a battle on two fronts. You're fighting against the chaos of the world we live in and the chaos of your own brain. But you don't have to fight that fight alone and you don't have to fight it on two fronts!
It seems like everyday we're learning something new about the brain and neurodivergence (or as some people like to call it being neurospicy). I love helping people find confidence in themselves and their brains. We can work together to learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, and what it means to be your true authentic self, your best self.
My other great passion is supporting people with a chronic illness or chronic pain. As someone with my own chronic health diagnoses, I understand on a very personal level how exhausting, lonely, and painful (pun intended) it can be to live life fighting against your own body. I know how big of a difference it can make to have someone to talk to and support you in your health journey. Even when you have a strong support network of family and friends it makes a difference to have someone who you never have to worry about. With me there’s no such thing as talking about it too much, you won’t have to minimize your experiences to avoid making me worry, and there is no such thing as a victory that is too small.
Whether you’ve experienced loss, infertility, anxiety, ADHD, chronic health challenges — or none of these — whether you’re a parent or not, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your mental health journey!
