Hi. My name is Marilyn Rose, LMFT. Having been a licensed therapist in Sacramento for over 20 years. I am excited about working with adults and their aging parents. A certified Grief Therapist and educated in Geriatric care, I have personal experience as a care giver / case manager for my elderly parents. I have expertise in helping clients with life transitions, and empowering them to develop coping strategies. Essentially, I aid my clients in creating their individualized life paths within a secure and sacred space. As a Licensed Marriage, Family Therapist it is out of my scope of practice to treat people with Personality Disorders. Due to the limitations of teletherapy, I choose not to work with couples. Due to lack of training, I am not seeing clients with illegal substances, gambling, and sex addictions. My preference is to work with women over the age of 35, may have ADHD /Autism issues, grief and loss issues, eating disorders, caregivers of family/friends.

Hi! First, I want to thank you for visiting my page and giving me an opportunity to see how my therapeutic style can assist you with reducing your distress and increasing your life satisfaction. I am so honored that you have decided to review my profile and see if I am a good fit for your journey. I have been working as a therapist with a variety of mental health disorders and systemic family dynamics since 2015. I initially pursued a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and decided that was an unfulfilling career direction for me. Upon deciding to pursue a master’s degree, I decided to pursue the MFT field. Becoming and MFT was the career goal I had as a teenager, so you could say that pursuing the field is a lifelong dream come true. My methods of therapy are person led. I like to provide space, and safety to assist you with addressing the reason or reasons that you made the brave choice to pursue therapy. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy also known as DBT. It is a gentle, an evidenced based method that uses mindfulness and increasing internal coping mechanisms to assist with achieving therapeutic goals. Additionally, I also can utilize a technique called Brainspotting to assist people with reducing trauma that is deep and difficult to resolve through traditional talk therapy. The pace at which we go and move through therapy is up to you. I am LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. I work with clients who are questioning, in their transition process, as well as those who are working on their mental health unrelated to their sexual and gender orientation. If necessary, I can consult with you if you need me to provide gender affirming letters when required for insurance and surgical and hormonal procedures. I really appreciate the time that you took to read through all this information, and I hope that it helps you make an informed decision.

I am of South Asian (Indian, Desi) descent and a first-generation college graduate. A little bit about my journey to becoming a therapist started with my own mental health journey and finding a therapist who understood the South Asian culture and how it contradicted the American culture. I was always described as a “helper” and always felt a sense of fulfillment when helping others. Becoming a therapist for me was a way to make a positive impact on individuals and communities as well as empower them to know it is OKAY to be NOT OKAY.
