About Rose

I'm Rose Neugroschel, LCSW — the solo clinician behind R.A.N. Counseling. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for anxiety, eating and body image concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Therapy with me is supportive, upfront and transparent, and rooted in your autonomy. We will go at your own pace. Sometimes people know what they want from therapy. Others don't, and that's okay. We can figure it out together.

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, while also developing insight into longstanding patterns that may be influencing your current experiences and relationships. When working with eating disorders and body image concerns, I take a weight-neutral approach.

Having spent time in competitive fitness spaces, I understand the pressures around body image, eating, and self-worth. As a feminist therapist, I welcome clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. With 10 years of clinical experience and additional certification in mental health and nutrition, sessions are collaborative. The best way to reach me is through the contact form on this site; this practice does not use text messaging.

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.

  • Safety & non-judgment
  • Autonomy and collaboration at your pace
  • Supportive, upfront, and transparent
  • Feminist-informed & weight-neutral / HAES-informed
  • Collaborative, not one-size-fits-all
  • Honest care — no inflated promises

Who I Work With

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, ADHD-related challenges, depression, self-doubt, or people-pleasing. I especially enjoy working with women and adults who want healthier boundaries, more assertiveness and confidence, and a clearer sense of voice — in Asheville in-person or via telehealth in North Carolina, D.C., Virginia, and Colorado.

  • Adults 20+
  • Self-reflective
  • Self-doubt or people-pleasing patterns
  • Women & adults seeking assertiveness, boundaries & confidence
