Meet Rose Bleiweis, LCSW-C

Starting therapy can feel intimidating — especially when you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, parenting stress, or major life transitions.

I’m Rose Bleiweis, LCSW-C, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing perinatal mental health therapy in North Bethesda, MD, and telehealth counseling throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. I specialize in infertility counseling, pregnancy loss support, maternal mental health, parenting support (including for parents of neurodivergent children), and women’s issues.

With over 10 years of clinical experience, I help adults navigate:

  • Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)

  • Postpartum adjustment and identity shifts

  • Pregnancy after loss or infertility

  • Anxiety, depression, and life transitions

  • Parenting challenges, including raising neurodivergent children

In addition to my private practice, I serve as an embedded mental health clinician at OB/GYN Associates in Silver Spring, MD, providing reproductive, perinatal, and general psychotherapy.

As a mom to two IVF-conceived children and a loss survivor, I bring both personal understanding and professional expertise to my work. My therapy is individualized and trauma-informed, drawing from narrative therapy, CBT, ACT, interpersonal therapy, and other evidence-based approaches.
