About Rose
I'm Rose Neugroschel, LCSW — the solo clinician behind R.A.N. Counseling. My specialties include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and eating & body image concerns. Additional areas I can support you in include: alcohol concerns, perfectionism, stress, relationship challenges, and other experiences that you're not sure how to cope with.
I work with adults (20+) in-person in Asheville, North Carolina (Western NC) and via telehealth to residents of North Carolina, Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Colorado. Telehealth clients must be physically located in one of those licensed states at the time of session. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and practical, grounded in evidence-based therapies that explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I believe meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship, in which we go at your own pace.
I have 10 years of clinical experience and have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health, liver transplants in the ICU and in an outpatient facility, employee assistance, management consultation, and group practice.
For a long time, I thought being unhappy with my body and subsequent habits was inevitable. Focusing on other people's journeys (i.e., social comparison) would result in feelings of insecurity. Unhappy with how I felt, but unsure of what to do different. With some help, insight, and a willingness to face the unknown, I learned skills to change habits I wasn't happy with, which resulted in improved confidence. I spent time in competitive fitness spaces developing my knowledge base, which lessened (and coincidentally, perpetuated) an unhealthy relationship with food. I understand the pressures around body image, eating, and self-worth.
Am I done learning and growing? No, as that journey doesn't stop, but I can be next to you, helping you figure out what you need to feel better.
As a feminist therapist, I welcome clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The best way to reach me is through the contact form on this site.

Therapeutic Philosophy
I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, non-judgmental, and at a pace that feels helpful to you. My style is supportive, upfront, and transparent — collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all, and honest about what therapy can and cannot do. I aim to offer a combination of listening plus feedback based on your preference, with the ideal goal of you not leaving the session feeling "bloody." As a feminist-informed therapist, I understand struggles in the context of societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural pressures. I'm weight-neutral and HAES-informed. Therapy here is not about forced positivity or being "fixed," but about building a life that feels more workable and aligned with your values.

Who I Work With
Some of my clients are looking to create a change in their life. Others seek longer-term, supportive therapy with less emphasis on skill-building, that prioritizes accountability. For example, maybe you feel isolated and you want a professional party to help you prevent stress from building up, or you’re looking for someone to help keep you accountable to healthy behaviors. Or maybe you're looking for a little bit of both. Regardless of what you’re looking for, I aim to check in regularly to see if you’re getting what you need from therapy.
I work with self-reflective adults (20+) who recognize that much of the work happens outside the therapy room. Many clients are navigating anxiety, eating or body image concerns, life transitions, ADHD-related challenges, or depressive symptoms. I especially enjoy working with women and adults who want healthier boundaries, more assertiveness and confidence, and a clearer sense of voice.
