Therapy for Individuals and Couples in Columbia, MD and virtually across Maryland
Finally, a Space Where Your Pain Makes Sense
Meet Reuven Rosen, LCSW-C — helping individuals and couples find steadiness in the chaos of parenting, pressure, and emotional disconnection
You’re not broken—and you don’t need to be fixed.
You’re struggling because there’s real pain underneath—and that pain makes sense. Maybe it’s the ache of feeling unappreciated or emotionally alone in your relationship. Maybe it’s the weight of always having to hold it together for everyone else—or the quiet fear that you’re somehow too much or not enough. Whether you feel like you're constantly giving more than your partner can handle, or like you're too distant and unsure of how to reconnect, we’ll slow down to uncover those deeper emotions.
You can expect…
A space that feels like a soft landing
Therapy with me is grounding and collaborative. It’s a place where we’re not blaming anyone—just getting curious together.
Understanding, not judgment
Whether you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed in your relationship, stuck in old patterns, or overwhelmed as a parent, we’ll explore the emotions underneath, not just the behavior on the surface.
Depth over quick fixes
This isn’t about tips and tricks. It’s about connecting with the parts of you that are trying to protect—and helping them share what’s really within you.
Support for both individuals and couples
I help clients tune into their needs, communicate more clearly, and reconnect—with themselves and with the people they love.
And sometimes, in the process, tears are shed—beautiful tears, as people finally connect and understand one another.
What starts as feeling completely alone and disconnected can transform into an experience of shared healing and intimacy.
When You’ve Been Carrying So Much, You Deserve More Than a Listener
Maybe you’ve tried handling it all on your own—but something still feels heavy and unresolved. You’re tired of surface-level solutions. You need someone who understands that real change requires going deeper.
I don’t just listen. I feel with you.
In therapy with me, we dive deep. I won’t just nod along—I’ll feel your pain with you. I know what it’s like to carry invisible wounds or feel like you’ve lost yourself in the swirl of life. That’s why I show up fully present—walking beside you, without judgment and without rush.
Specialized training that gets to the heart of things.
I’ve spent years immersing myself in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—approaches designed to go beneath the surface. These methods help us tune into what’s really going on inside, even the parts you may struggle to put into words.
Clients often tell me they feel “seen” for the first time.
Not just heard—but understood in the places they’ve felt most alone. I show up with steadiness and care, especially when things feel messy or raw. And in those moments, healing begins—not through pressure, but through presence.
Ways we can work together
Couples Therapy
You love your partner—but something’s not working.
Whether you’re feeling like roommates, stuck in conflict, or carrying resentment, therapy can help you rekindle emotional safety and closeness.
Parenting Support
Parenting feels like too much—and not enough—all at once.
We’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your relationship with your child.
Anxiety & Burnout
You’re getting through the day—but not really living it.
Therapy can help you move from emotional flatness and overwhelm toward steadiness, clarity, and a sense of aliveness again.
How we work together matters.
I use two research-backed methods—Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—because they go deeper than surface-level strategies. Click below to learn more:
-
Most couples don’t fight because of the topic—they get stuck in emotional patterns.
With EFT, we’ll map those patterns and help you reach for each other in new ways—less blame, more connection. It’s not about who’s right; it’s about how you both feel inside.
-
We all have different parts inside—some carry pain, others step in to protect.
In IFS, we’ll listen to these parts with compassion, helping them soften so you can connect with what’s true and alive underneath. This is how real healing starts—from the inside out.
