Rose Bissonnette, LICSW (she/her) is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island with over 30 years of experience supporting teens, college students, adults, families, and seniors. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Rhode Island and her Master of Social Work from Rhode Island College. She also holds certifications in Body Code, Emotion Code, and Belief Code.

Rose works with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress and burnout, and women’s issues. She also offers faith-based counseling for those who wish to incorporate spirituality into their healing process. Her approach includes EMDR, along with solution-focused and psychodynamic therapy, helping clients build awareness of both their emotional experiences and personal history.

Her style is insight-oriented, compassionate, and direct. Rose creates a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, better understand themselves, and begin to shift how they view their life experiences. She works best with individuals who are ready to grow, reflect, and make meaningful changes in how they see themselves and their journey.

Clients can expect therapy to feel like a process of self-discovery — gaining clarity, building confidence, and developing a deeper sense of understanding and direction. Rose believes that readiness for change is a key part of the therapeutic process and works collaboratively with clients to help them move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

She finds it especially rewarding to witness clients grow in self-awareness and begin to feel better about themselves and their lives.

Outside of her clinical work, Rose enjoys spending time outdoors and traveling.
