Shoshanna Rome

You're overwhelmed, exhausted, and maybe even wondering if you're the only one who feels this way. You’re navigating racing thoughts, feeling more down than usual, or having relationship struggles—maybe all at once. You want to feel more connected, and more like yourself again. My clients are ready to heal, to feel seen, and to understand the “why” behind their pain. Whether you're adjusting to motherhood, managing family stress, or rebuilding after trauma, you don’t have to do it alone.

Shoshanna Rome was born and raised in Japan in a bilingual, multicultural home, experiences that shaped her curiosity about people and their inner worlds. She earned her Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2014, continued on as a fellow in the University’s Infant, Early Childhood, and Family Mental Health Capstone program, and completed extensive training in maternal mental health through Postpartum Support International and additional programs. Before becoming a therapist, Shoshanna supported families as a birth and postpartum doula—work that profoundly influenced her understanding of the emotional and relational terrain of early parenthood. She later spent more than eight years as a mental health counselor in a community clinic, providing care to clients from diverse backgrounds and receiving specialized training in DBT, trauma and complex trauma, and mood disorders. During this time, she found deep fulfillment supporting mothers and families, eventually coordinating the clinic’s DBT program and supervising both interns and fellow clinicians. Shoshanna also served as a mental health counselor and consultant for Tompkins County Family Court, collaborating with legal and social service professionals to understand how trauma moves through family systems and across generations. Drawn increasingly to maternal mental health—a field she saw as both underserved and deeply impactful—she opened her private practice in 2023 to offer compassionate, evidence-informed support to mothers and families navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Her commitment to this work has only strengthened through her own journey as a first-time parent during the COVID-19 pandemic and now as a mother of two. Outside of her practice, Shoshanna enjoys tending her vegetable garden, foraging wild plants and mushrooms, spending time with her children, and exploring ceramics.
