Warm. Direct.
On your side.

I’m Rosemarie Patrizio, owner and therapist at Aquarius Rising. I help adults and couples navigate depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges through compassionate, collaborative telehealth therapy.

My style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, recognize patterns, and develop practical ways to improve communication, manage difficult emotions, and create meaningful change.

I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-aware care and welcome people in consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. Your identity and relationship structure will be approached with respect and curiosity.

In sessions, I make room for you to be heard while helping us stay connected to what you want to change. We might slow down a difficult moment, notice a familiar pattern, or practice a different way to express what you need. We’ll decide together what feels useful, and you can tell me when something isn’t working for you.

I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and Gottman Method interventions, tailoring our work to your needs and goals. I’m also pursuing my Doctor of Social Work at Simmons University.

Alongside my clinical practice, I teach university social work courses and bring more than two decades of psychiatric hospital experience, including court coordination and interdisciplinary collaboration. My experience also includes reviewing educational assessments for clarity, relevance, and equity.
