Rose Cadden (She/her)

I am a certified in Addiction Counseling and work with individuals at every stage of recovery — from those first questioning their relationship with substances, to people years into sobriety who want deeper trauma work. My approach focuses on understanding the root of the behavior, not just managing symptoms. Together, we will explore what the substance was helping you avoid or soothe — and build healthier ways to regulate, reconnect, and find relief without self-destruction.

In am certified in Traumatic Stress and Somatic Trauma Therapy — which means I understand that trauma isn't just a story in your mind. It lives in your body. My approach includes gentle somatic awareness, emotional processing, and practical tools to help your nervous system begin to settle. If you've tried therapy before and felt like you were just talking in circles, this integrative, body-based approach may feel genuinely different.

Sessions with me are grounded in warmth, compassion, and authenticity. I believe healing happens in moments of genuine connection — when you feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. You can expect a calm, steady presence, space to move at your own pace, and gentle exploration of your anxiety. This is not about pushing through. It's about building safety first — safety in your body, in your relationships, and in your day-to-day life. From that foundation, deepens.

Somatic trauma therapy recognizes that trauma is stored in the body — not just the mind. Where traditional talk therapy focuses primarily on thoughts and narrative, somatic approaches incorporate body awareness, nervous system regulation, and physical sensation as part of the healing process. For many people who have felt stuck in talk therapy, this body-based approach creates a path forward that cognitive work alone couldn't reach.

Traditional addiction treatment often focuses on behavior change and sobriety as the primary goal. Trauma-informed addiction therapy goes deeper — exploring the emotional pain, unresolved experiences, and nervous system patterns that drove the substance use in the first place. When trauma is treated alongside addiction, the results tend to be more durable, because you're addressing the root rather than just the symptom.

Unresolved trauma doesn't always look like trauma. It can show up as feeling perpetually on edge, difficulty trusting people, shame that won't lift, emotional numbness, or relationship patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to break them. I believe that Healing isn't about willpower. It's about restoring your nervous system, rebuilding trust with yourself, and learning how to respond differently to pain. You don’t have to do this alone and I am here to help.
