Hopeful Core Therapy: Rose Bleiweis, LCSW-C, LCSW, LICSW
Trauma-informed therapy for infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum, and anxiety in the DMV and telehealth
Welcome! I’m so glad you are here.
Providing in-person and virtual therapy to individual adults and couples in Maryland, DC, and Virginia
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals and families during some of life’s most vulnerable and complex seasons. As a therapist, I take a compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approach to care. Whether we are navigating infertility, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, loss, anxiety, ADHD, or relationship stress, my goal is to help you better understand your experience and create meaningful, sustainable change.
I value authenticity, warmth, and creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, collaborative, and easy to talk to. At the same time, I believe therapy is not just about feeling supported; it’s about helping you move forward. Together, we will develop a thoughtful, individualized approach that integrates insight with practical tools, so you can feel more grounded, empowered, and connected in your daily life.
‍ ‍Clinical Specialties
Although I work with folks managing a range of issues, I have advanced training and clinical specialization in certain areas of focus. Feel free to click on the dropdown below to learn more about these speciality areas. If you are wondering if I work with an issue not mentioned below, please feel free to reach out to discuss if I may be a good fit for you.
-
Trying to grow your family can become an all-consuming experience - filled with hope, uncertainty, grief, and decisions that feel impossibly heavy. Whether you’re navigating infertility, in the midst of IVF, exploring donor options, or coping with pregnancy loss, the emotional toll can be profound. These experiences are deeply connected, often bringing waves of anxiety, loss of control, and isolation. In therapy, we make space for all of it- helping you process what you’ve been through, navigate complex choices, and find steadiness in a process that can feel unpredictable and overwhelming.
-
Even when deeply wanted, pregnancy and early parenthood can bring unexpected emotional challenges. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unlike yourself. These transitions often involve identity shifts, changes in relationships, and a nervous system that feels constantly “on.” Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel supported, and make sense of what you’re experiencing - so you can move through this chapter with more grounding, clarity, and self-compassion.
-
When your mind feels constantly busy or your emotions feel intense and hard to manage, it can impact every part of your life. You might notice racing thoughts, irritability, shutdown, or feeling easily triggered. Together, we work to understand what’s underneath these patterns - not just manage symptoms - and build practical, sustainable tools to help you feel more regulated, steady, and in control of your responses.
-
Past experiences, especially those involving relationships, safety, or early attachment, can shape how you relate to yourself and others. You may notice patterns like difficulty trusting, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in the same relational dynamics. In therapy, we explore these patterns with curiosity and care, helping you process what you’ve been through while building a stronger sense of safety, connection, and self-trust.
-
Life transitions, even meaningful or positive ones, can bring uncertainty, loss, and questions about who you are now. Whether you’re becoming a parent, navigating career changes, or adjusting to a new phase of life, it’s common to feel ungrounded or disconnected from yourself. Therapy provides space to reflect, reconnect with your values, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
-
I provide clinical supervision and training for therapists and interns seeking a supportive, thoughtful, and growth-oriented space. My approach integrates clinical skill-building with attention to your development as a clinician, helping you deepen your confidence, navigate complex cases, and reflect on the impact of the work. Supervision is collaborative, grounded in ethics, and tailored to your individual learning style and goals.
