Sub Rosa Therapy

Our Therapists are Skilled Practitioners of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Anxiety. We offer evidence-based anxiety counseling rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—a model shown to be highly effective for a wide range of anxiety-related mental health challenges. When anxiety constricts your life, our approach to managing anxiety can help you find greater freedom and reclaim your choices.

With Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) and Spravato, clients can safely process unconscious material in a supportive environment, easing symptoms and enhancing self-awareness. Combined with Somatic Experiencing (SE), this fosters long-lasting benefits. Somatic Experiencing is a second wave somatic trauma therapy that works with the body’s natural survival responses — like fight, flight, or freeze — to help resolve trauma at the nervous system level.

We work with adults of all ages—parents, college students, professionals, and elders—and offer therapy that explores not only symptom relief, but also deeper healing through embodiment, connection, and meaning-making. If you’ve tried multiple antidepressants without success, Spravato treatment may be an option. At Sub Rosa, we combine Spravato with supportive therapy to help clients process insights and develop more durable emotional resilience.

Unlike traditional models that focus on changing thoughts or controlling symptoms, ACT helps you: Acknowledge and accept difficult emotions and thoughts without letting them dictate your behavior. Clarify your values—what matters most to you—and use them as a compass for action. Develop mindfulness and present-moment awareness, so you can respond to anxiety with intention, not reactivity. Build tolerance for discomfort in service of a life that feels more alive and meaningful.

Internal Family systems is a highly accessible and effective second wave Jungian psychoanalysis therapy. IFS sees the mind as a family of distinct "parts," each serving important roles. When these parts are out of balance or in conflict, you may experience anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, relationship struggles, or emotional overwhelm. IFS counseling guides you to understand, respect, and heal these internal parts, fostering greater internal harmony and improving overall mental health.

Many trauma symptoms don’t come from the event itself, but from how the nervous system stays stuck in survival mode long afterward. SE helps unwind those patterns by guiding you to notice, release, and reorganize physical tension and emotional overwhelm. SE helps you to: Notice sensations linked to fear, shutdown, or grief Build awareness of grounding, safety, and capacity Develop tools to regulate your nervous system in real time Reconnect with emotions without being flooded or dissociated

Unlike approaches that aim to eliminate fear, ACT helps you build a better relationship with anxiety so it doesn’t have to run your life. You’ll learn how to stop avoiding discomfort, reconnect with what matters most, and take meaningful action—even when fear is present. A skilled therapist will support you in applying ACT tools at your pace and capacity. ACT is well suited to support Spravato, ketamine-assisted therapy and psychedelic integration, which are part of our services at Sub Rosa.
