Supporting children, adolescents and adults, Rosewood Integrative Counseling clinicians serve clients with a commitment to providing trauma informed psychotherapy that is inclusive, neurodiversity affirming and grounded in evidence based practice.

Welcome to Rosewood

As a natural resource, rosewood is known for its unique beauty and inherent strength. It is revered by craftsmen and musicians when building instruments, with a reputation for providing superior depth, warmth and clarity. Rosewood possesses an ability to respond across a wide range of frequencies, capturing more of the sound spectrum than nearly any other wood. It is strong enough to hold the tension of an instrument and soft enough to remain flexible and adaptive.

Rosewood Integrative Counseling takes its name from this natural wonder.

We believe that humans have an incredible capacity to hold the tension of life’s darkest moments and to adapt in ways that foster healing and change. Rosewood stands as a reminder of the remarkable strength, power and resilience of the clients that we are honored to know.

Our Story

Founded in 2022, Rosewood Integrative Counseling began as a solo practice focused on providing care through an integrative lens. Having been deeply impacted by pioneers in the field of trauma treatment, Rosewood’s founder, Cara Joyner, sought to look beyond symptoms, seeking to understand the depth of a client’s experience while equipping them with practical tools to move from surviving to thriving.

Since then, Rosewood has grown into a collective of therapists who share these values for clinical practice. While we operate within different specialities and support different populations, we share a deep respect for our clients’ stories and a commitment to providing therapy that is fueled by curiosity and compassion.
