About Rose Tauke
Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides a warm, nonjudgmental, and empathetic space where clients can openly explore their concerns and feel supported as they move forward. Originally from the northern suburbs of Chicago, Rose continues to live and work in the area and values building meaningful connections with the community she serves.
Rose believes therapy works best when it is collaborative and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience. She views her clients as the experts of their own lives and partners with them to better understand both past and present experiences that may be contributing to feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

She also holds a Master’s degree in Women and Gender Studies from Roosevelt University and a Bachelor’s degree in Women and Gender Studies from Gustavus Adolphus College. This background informs her culturally responsive, inclusive approach to therapy.
