Welcome! My name is Dr. Rose Sneed. I'm honored to have the opportunity to work with you! I am located in the state of Washington, and I am a licensed psychologist in Washington, California, and Illinois. I was drawn to psychology, because I had a deep curiosity about human behavior and how we navigate the complexity of living full lives. After many years of working with clients, leading teams of behavioral health professionals, and developing community behavioral health programs, my curiosity is still very present. I have witnessed the power of helping others become curious about themselves. I discovered that we may become more flexible in our thinking, increase self-compassionate, and feel more confident in our relationships when we seek to answer important questions through formal evaluations or engage in a process of therapeutic self-exploration.
