Niamh Rock

Psychotherapist

Niamh (pronounced Nieve!”) is a psychotherapist who brings a warm, collaborative, and grounded approach to helping clients better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Working with Niamh will feel like a real conversation rather than a clinical session due to her humor and ease. She creates space for clients to talk about what's hardest, without pressure or judgment, understanding that vulnerability takes time and that meaningful change rarely happens on a deadline.

Niamh started her career in public relations, and while that experience helped her recognize her strengths, it also led her to question how she could use them in a way that felt more purposeful. That realization led her to becoming a therapist.

Niamh has years of experience in medical and clinical settings, including three years at the Department of Veterans Affairs providing individual and group therapy to Veterans experiencing substance use disorders and serious mental illness.

Her approach is flexible and collaborative, meeting clients where they are while helping them understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to build emotional awareness and develop practical tools for sustainable change.

Niamh also brings a holistic mind-body perspective informed by her background in medical social work and yoga instruction. Her goal is to help clients feel more grounded, clear, and connected in their lives.

She works with individuals and couples navigating relationships, life transitions, periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use.

Whether you’re dealing with career stress, relationship challenges, symptoms that feel overwhelming, or a desire for more clarity and meaning, Niamh will be right by your side.
