Dr. Rosecrans’ Approach to Therapy

Therapy can be scary, as we are knowingly going to talk about topics that are uncomfortable. It takes strength to recognize and admit we need help and then to open up about the discomfort we feel. Therapy is a safe space to explore these uncomfortable emotions, thoughts, behaviors, pasts, and relationships without judgement and feeling like you are being heard. Therapy is designed to help you learn new ways to approach difficult experiences and learn tools to aid in coping with the discomfort you feel.



It is important for me to make therapy a safe and collaborative process. You are your own expert in life, and I am here to help you in finding the right tools that will work for you. I use a supportive, directive, problem-solving style, applying empirically supported techniques. I approach treatment using the biopsychosocial model and existential therapies, which allows us to explore the interaction between varying aspects of our lives and how they affect our mental health. A better understanding of ourselves helps promote the change we strive for.

Dr. Fleming’s Approach to Therapy:

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, which can range from mild relationship difficulties to more severe problems that affect their ability to work, love, and enjoy life. Although I use empirically supported techniques, I do not believe in “cookie-cutter” approaches. In collaboration with my clients, I work to tailor interventions that are consistent with my clients’ goals and values. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but I draw most strongly on mindfulness-enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy. I teach people to see the connections between situations, thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. In therapy I try to get clients to become more focused on the present and help them to better cope with and experience unpleasant feelings that life inevitably brings. This helps them to both better deal with their problems in the present and bounce back better in the future if they have setbacks or relapses.

In therapy, individuals may want to address general feelings of anxiety and worries, panic attacks, specific fears, social anxiety, fear or discomfort speaking in front of others, or specific situational fears or excessive fears of animals, insects, or other things. Some people may wish to address specific intrusive thoughts and unwanted behaviors that they have to engage in despite the disruptions these behaviors cause in their lives.

Depression has been called “the common cold" of mental illness because so many people suffer from it at one point or another in life, but this does not make it any easier to experience. Depression can adversely affect health, work, school, relationships, and overall quality of life in those who experience it. With evidence-based approaches, I help people to reduce, manage, and cope with stress and anxiety and better manage those situations and circumstances that may trigger unpleasant feelings of anxiety, sadness, or excessive anger.



Anger, in itself, is not a bad thing. Anger only becomes a problem if it is excessive or leads to problematic behaviors, work difficulties, relationship issues, legal issues, or health-related problems. I teach clients skills to better manage the circumstances and thoughts that lead to problematic anger. Relaxation training, meditation, mindfulness exercises, assertive communication training, and other techniques are used to help clients successfully navigate situations that have historically been triggers for problematic anger. Many of these same skills can be used to address other emotions, including but not limited to fear, sadness, shame, and guilt.

Brianna’s Approach to Therapy

I believe that therapy is important, and therefore I believe client collaboration is essential. I approach therapy with the mindset that the client is in charge of their therapy and the direction that it goes in. From the initial session, creating a diagnosis and treatment plan, and later sessions, the clients will have a say in the discussions and their treatment. I believe the client-therapist alliance is essential in order to build trust and a collaborative environment. This is why I tend to take a person-centered therapy approach as one of my primary methods for therapy.

It is essential to me that my clients feel safe and comfortable in sessions and feel that way when leaving my office afterwards. I accept clients from any and all backgrounds and identities, as Rosecrans & Associates is a participant and practitioner of Open to All. Therapy is important to me, and I want to be able to help anyone in need who is willing to take the first step and dive into therapy with me.



Throughout my work with clients, I hope that they can start their journey of self-exploration and find compassion and acceptance in their lives. Therapy will be done using scientific and evidence-based therapy approaches and theories. My goal for every client is to feel better about the situation that brought them to therapy and to learn more about themselves along the way. I strive to give my clients an experience that does not make them feel as though they need to fit into a specific mold but can explore themselves and work towards their active goals while maintaining their values and beliefs. I cater my therapy around what you believe is helping and is effective at tackling any mental health concerns. Call the office or schedule an appointment to start your journey! I look forward to working with you.

Dr. Slavich’s Approach to Therapy:

I believe that the relationship I form with my clients and their families is the most important part of the therapeutic process. I take a client-centered approach to therapy and utilize other therapeutic techniques as needed, but in a more informal way than “traditional” therapy. I love “info dumps” and hearing about your passions. I am authentic and down-to-earth and want my clients to feel comfortable unmasking and being their authentic selves as well. I believe there is room for humor in therapy and that it is a central feature of my approach and personality. I am able to connect to anyone I meet and find value in every client I encounter. You will find that I am extremely non-judgmental and that there is not anything you can say that I will find weird or that will make me dislike you and stop caring about you. I am passionate about working with diverse populations. I do not give advice that I would not follow myself and am a believer in “practicing what I preach.” I am here to meet you where you are and to support you. I also run a support group for adults with Autism Level 1, and the group is always open to new members.



I have worked in a therapeutic day school in the past, so I am able to support clients and advocate for their needs when it comes to school accommodations through things like 504 plans and IEPs. It is important to me that I work collaboratively with other providers such as schools, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and hospital programs to best support your needs.

Lillian’s Approach to Therapy:

I believe that counseling empowers individuals, families, and groups to achieve mental health, wellness, education, and career goals so they can lead fulfilling lives. Guided by this foundational belief and my personal values, I am committed to helping adults from diverse backgrounds and cultures reach their aspirations. Through collaboration and an integrative approach, I will support clients in gaining self-awareness, developing effective strategies, and finding practical solutions to life’s challenges by utilizing appropriate diagnostic tools and developing treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs.
