About Dr. Adriana Rosen

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Texas, a doctoral program I chose because it placed equal emphasis on clinical and research training. Although my focus from the start was on clinical work, I wanted to understand and critically interpret psychological research and to develop a broad range of skills. 

My training exposed me to different psychological theories, clinical settings, diverse populations and ways of working. Some of my earliest clinical experiences also taught me the importance of “meeting a client where they are” and learning how to work at the client's pace, an idea that has remained important to me throughout my career.

I completed my predoctoral internship at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital, where I worked with people across the full range of psychological functioning and continued to learn about psychoanalytic theory. I remained at UM/Jackson Memorial for my postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry. 

Later, as a Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Miami, I supervised doctoral students in psychotherapy and psychological assessment while continuing to see patients in private practice. My growing interest in psychoanalytic theory and technique led me to pursue formal psychoanalytic training.

I wanted this additional training to deepen my work with patients, increase my skill and theoretical knowledge, and allow me to continue learning within a community of colleagues. 

Those aims remain important to me as I continue to approach my work with respect for the complexity of each person and the particular history that he or she brings while committing to continuous learning and growth and the highest ethical standards.
