Rosemary Maltese

Rosemary Maltese recognizes the courage it takes to reach out for support, and she aims to help people move toward hope, healing, and practical change. She brings 11 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families across a range of settings to address concerns such as low self-esteem, abuse and trauma, codependency and adult-child-of-an-alcoholic issues, shame, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, career and life-stage transitions, high sensitivity traits, parenting challenges, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger management, relationship difficulties, and other common stressors.

As a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee, she holds the credential that authorizes independent mental health practice (TN LPC 5084). Her approach combines a compassionate, person-focused stance with solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients set goals and work through obstacles toward the future they want. She also integrates strengths-based work and coaching elements to build practical skills and resilience.

With an emphasis in marriage and family therapy, Rosemary understands how family-of-origin patterns and systems influence present concerns. She brings a systems perspective to couples and family work, applying family systems methods when appropriate while offering individual support that centers a person’s strengths. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore new directions, receive encouragement, and practice strategies that foster greater peace and fulfillment.

Individuals who want a therapist who accepts them as they are while also challenging the patterns that limit them may find Rosemary’s combination of warmth, practical tools, and systems-minded insight a good fit. She looks forward to supporting clients as they pursue meaningful change.
