Michele Rose

Michele Rose is a seasoned therapist with 29 years of experience using CBT to manage anxiety, depression, and insomnia. She has worked with adults and teens for many years and uses the most established treatments for BFRBs, including the ComB model, Habit Reversal, and Acceptance and Mindfulness practice. Michele has started to treat children under age 12 as well, and has found that the work coaching parents and treatment with their children is fun, effective and gratifying. She understands the complex interaction between a BFRB and other common struggles such as Social Anxiety, Tic Disorders, ADHD and Depression, or a general feeling of “being held back” by the BFRB. She has seen that as the BFRB improves, these other difficulties tend to improve too. Michele helps clients with Trichotillomania or Skin Picking as an active, candid and relatable partner through the scary and exciting process of a less painful, more satisfying life.
