Alyssa Rosen

Hi! Thanks so much for visiting. I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in practice since 2012, and before that I practiced internal medicine. I treat individuals age 10 and up in an adult setting. I went to Duke University for premed (BS psychology) and then Emory University School of Medicine. I did my internal medicine residency at Emory also, was on staff at Emory and was also in private practice before I went back to my psychiatry residency (State University at Stony Brook, Chief Resident, 2012). I treat individuals with all diagnoses ages 10 and up (if younger, we can discuss if this is appropriate). I operate in an adult office setting, and most session will be virtual after at least one in-person session. If the individual wants sessions to be in person, that is great! I bring the dual training and years of experience treating the breadth and depth of psychiatry. I enjoy helping those who have had treatment-resistant conditions, and have a friendly, kind, and collaborative approach. I know many who come to me are scared, nervous, or being dragged there (teens, I see you. and I will hear you). I believe in a least amount of medicine approach, but of course, we have outstanding old, and new medications and alternative treatments today which can often be the answer. I assess and treat using a bio-psycho-social perspective (I'll explain when we are together, but suffice to say, it's not all about a pill). I incorporate therapeutic approaches as appropriate, needed, and desired (like CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and interpersonal therapies). I consider the client and I a TEAM; we work together in a fully informed fashion to get the individual to their goals. The path is discussed and decided upon TOGETHER. Weren't you Mike Rosen, MD? Yes. I am trans. I came out to everyone on Jan 1, 2025. I'm living authentically, and frankly, it's awesome. If that's something you are figuring out or trying to navigate, I got you. I know what it is like to be scared/freaked/feeling shame/feeling guilt. I've SO been there. Let me help you. It will be my honor and privilege. To be clear, I have put in for a legal name change, and it is pending with the court. Soon, I will be Alyssa Rosen legally. However, right now (meaning if this is still here, this is the current situation) I am LEGALLY Michael Joseph Rosen, MD. You will not find the name Alyssa Rosen in any state license or DEA registry, as it has not gone through yet. But, for anything but legal issues, I'm Alyssa, and she/her are my pronouns. Thanks for respecting them and my authentic identity!
