Mucella Rose, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Mucella!

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected? I’m a therapist and Columbia University graduate helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, self-worth, relationships, career or academic pressures, and life transitions. Together, we’ll build self-understanding, draw on your inner strengths, and create meaningful change aligned with your values and goals.

My focus

I support adults navigating emotional, relational, and life challenges, including anxiety, stress, relationships, self-worth, career or academic concerns, and major transitions. I also help clients explore identity, culture, values, family dynamics, and personal growth while building greater clarity, confidence, balance, and resilience.

My approach

I take a compassionate, integrative approach that balances deeper exploration with practical tools. I draw from ACT, CBT, IFS, mindfulness, somatic, and strengths-based approaches to help you understand patterns, connect mind and body, develop new perspectives and coping skills, and make changes aligned with your needs, values, and goals.

My communication style

I’m warm, genuine, curious, and engaged. I listen deeply and create space for you to feel heard and understood, while also offering honest feedback, new perspectives, and gentle direction when helpful. I bring encouragement and appropriate humor into our work, helping you gain insight, recognize your strengths, and feel empowered to move forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in psychology began in adolescence, shaped by my bilingual, bicultural upbringing and curiosity about how people grow and connect. After earning two master’s degrees from Columbia University, I moved from school counseling into clinical work to help people understand themselves, heal, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

My goals for you

We collaboratively set meaningful long-term goals and break them into manageable steps. Each session, you decide what feels most important to explore, while I help connect our work to the bigger picture. We’ll reflect on progress, revisit between-session practice, and adjust our focus as your needs and priorities evolve.

Our first session

Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, so our first session is a structured intake focused on understanding you as a whole person. We’ll review confidentiality and explore your background, identity, culture, mental health history, current concerns, and any risk or safety concerns. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out—we’ll begin together.
