About Me
Hi, I’m Rose Bleiweis, LCSW-C, LICSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, licensed in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia (LCSW).
I primarily work with women navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and reproductive trauma, as well as adults experiencing anxiety and life transitions.
I’ve been in practice for over a decade and value the depth of connection, trust, and safety that develops in therapy over time.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Family Studies from Towson University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. Since then, I have worked in private practice, taught at the college level, facilitated workshops and trainings for clinicians, and supported both early-career therapists and graduate-level interns. I am a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor and provide supervision to Licensed Master Social Workers and graduate interns. I also serve as a field instructor through the University of Maryland School of Social Work, supporting MSW interns as they develop their clinical skills and professional identity.
My clinical work is primarily focused on reproductive and perinatal mental health, including infertility, IVF, pregnancy loss, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, and reproductive trauma. I also support clients navigating anxiety, identity shifts, and other significant life transitions. I have specialized training in reproductive mental health through Postpartum Support International (PSI), which informs and deepens this work.
My own experience with infertility/IVF, loss, perinatal/postpartum adjustments, and adjustment to parenthood after loss, informs how I show up in the therapy room - with clinical grounding and an understanding of how isolating and emotionally complex these experiences can feel.
I also have extensive experience supporting survivors of trauma, including intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, and complex relational trauma.
Outside of my work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, playing Mahjong, and finding my next corny joke.
I think of therapy as a space to slow things down.
Many of the people I work with are used to holding a lot internally—pushing through, managing, or trying to make sense of things on their own. Therapy becomes a space to slow that down and understand what’s happening underneath.
My approach is relational, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate elements of CBT, ACT, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic work, but always tailor the work to what feels most helpful and accessible for you.
Therapy with me isn’t about forcing change. It’s about building awareness, increasing emotional flexibility, and helping you feel more grounded and connected to yourself over time.
What Therapy With Me Is Like
Clinical Supervision and Training
In addition to my clinical work, I provide supervision to master’s-level social workers working toward independent clinical licensure. Supervision includes regular oversight, consultation, and guidance to ensure all clinical work is ethical, thoughtful, and grounded in best practice. Please feel free to reach out via email if you are interested in learning more about supervision services.
I also serve as a field instructor to graduate-level social work interns. In this role, I provide clinical supervision and structured learning opportunities to support interns in developing clinical skills and preparing for post-graduate practice.
Interns work directly with clients under my supervision, and I remain clinically responsible for all care provided.
This work reflects my commitment to supporting the development of skilled, ethical, and trauma-informed clinicians entering the field.
Meet Our 2026 Clinical Intern
Grace Lill, MSW Student
Grace is a graduate-level social work intern completing a Master of Social Work with a clinical concentration at the University of Maryland, with an expected graduation of May 2027.
She is interested in working with adults and children, with a clinical focus on trauma, grief, and anxiety.
Grace’s approach to therapy is compassionate, attentive, and supportive. She aims to create sessions that feel relaxed and collaborative, while maintaining a trauma-informed and strengths-based framework. She values meeting clients where they are and helping them feel safe, understood, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.
Her experience includes working with adolescents from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating trauma histories, grief, anxiety, and significant life transitions such as immigration, family loss, and school-related stressors.
Grace’s interest in social work is rooted in her own lived experience with mental health challenges, trauma, and grief. She describes the clinicians who supported her as meaningful sources of guidance and stability, and she is motivated to offer that same kind of support to others while helping clients build on their strengths.
Outside of clinical work, Grace enjoys hiking, skiing, swimming in the ocean, playing soccer, and antiquing. She also has a strong interest in dinosaurs and shares her home with three pets: a black cat named Herbie, a Maine Coon cat named Scout, and a pit bull named Ivy.
