Theresa Rose Bajt, PhD is a seasoned psychologist with nearly four decades of experience. Originally focused on child and adolescent psychology, she shifted her practice over 25 years ago to work with adults, recognizing that parents—particularly mothers—are often the most influential figures in shaping their children’s lives. Today, Theresa Rose addresses a wide range of issues, including bipolar disorder, ADHD, postpartum depression, and family dynamics.

Theresa Rose’s approach is academically grounded, focusing initially on stabilizing clients’ immediate concerns, such as bipolar mania or depression. Once these issues are under control, she explores deeper, underlying patterns in her clients’ lives, viewing life as a spiritual and learning journey. She believes that even those without overt trauma are shaped by a “primal imprint” from their family of origin, and she works with clients to heal these underlying influences.

A strong advocate for accessible therapy, Theresa Rose supports telehealth expansion and holds PSYPACT certification, enabling her to provide services across 39 states. Her published work on ethics, including contributions to the New York Times, underscores her commitment to guiding clients in finding the right therapist while maintaining high ethical standards.
