Rosemary & Rue MHW History
Rosemary & Rue Mental Health and Wellness was founded by Dr. Alexandria Miller, a dedicated mental health professional committed to creating a healing space for individuals from minoritized communities. Drawing from personal experiences navigating systems of oppression, Dr. Miller recognized the importance of a therapeutic approach that respects the unique journey of those with marginalized identities.
The practice’s name, inspired by the symbolic power of herbs, reflects its mission. Rosemary symbolizes memory and clarity, representing the practice’s focus on helping clients reconnect with inner wisdom and heal emotional wounds. Rue, associated with protection and cleansing, signifies the practice’s dedication to supporting clients in shedding the impacts of systemic oppression and trauma.
Rooted in a trauma-informed approach, Rosemary & Rue offers psychotherapy, life coaching, and consulting services to empower individuals and communities. Emphasizing healing, fortitude, and collective liberation, the practice guides clients through personal growth while advocating for broader social change, creating spaces of safety, care, and growth.
Through a commitment to social justice, trauma-informed care, and personalized interventions, Rosemary & Rue aims to empower clients to reclaim their narratives, increase well-being, and foster personal transformation within a supportive and inclusive environment.
