About Rosanne

My name is Rosanne Greenway (she/her). I am a white, cisgender woman, an LGBTQIA+ ally, align with body positivity/Health at Every Size, and work to interrogate my own unconscious biases around race, gender, sexuality and class. At various points in my life, I've also identified as a musician, athlete, nerd, or bookworm. 

I have two masters degrees: the first, in early childhood special education from the University of Texas-Austin (2005), and the second, in counseling psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology (2024). Before I went back to school for counseling, I was a certified special education teacher where I primarily worked with elementary-aged students with moderate to severe disabilities. 

After becoming a parent, I started to understand more about the importance of attachment and responsive parenting. I am excited to use both my understanding of child development and my training in psychotherapy to help people live more fully. We don't have to be perfect parents - we just have to be what the pedatrician and psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott called "good enough". When we mess up, we can acknowledge how we've fucked up, and try to understand how it has impacted our kids and those around us. This is probably my guiding truth as a human/parent/therapist: I will inevitably screw things up, and I try to own my actions, understand the impact, and make things right when possible. 

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy singing with my a cappella chorus and quartet, spending time with my family, and open water swimming. I like humor, liveliness, whimsy, and openness. 

I am a member of the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study, the Center for Object Relations, and the Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I am a candidate in psychoanalytic training at NPSI.
