Specialties

As a physician doing Medical Counseling, I help people and families who live with illness, pain, or medical conditions to find The New Normal, a new way to achieve a sense of balance, inner strength, and wholeness as we move forward with our lives.

In counseling, we can spend the time we need to focus on the concerns that you have about your health and healing, body, mind, emotion, and spirit. We explore together how you can discover your own inner resources which support your potential to heal. Using the mind-​body connection, our tools, such as guided imagery and meditation, can help medical treatments work better and decrease stress.

As an experienced family physician, I examine your situation and review the diagnosis and treatment recommendations by your other health care providers. We can work on medical decision-​making. Then we can evaluate other medical care that may be of benefit to you, standard and complementary/​alternative care, preventive care and stress reduction.

History

Established in 2004.

I have always been fascinated by the interplay of body, mind, emotion, and spirit in medicine, and always wanted to be a doctor and help people. At UC Berkeley I studied anthropology to learn more about people from many cultures, and graduated from medical school at UC Davis. After working at public health clinics, I helped start East Bay Family Practice, where I loved caring for people and their families of all ages. I have had back pain since a car accident in 1990, and by January 2003 I just couldn’t physically do family practice, though it was very hard to leave. I created my Medical Counseling practice to use all my training and experience, continue to help people, and have so much more time to focus on integrating body, mind, emotion, and spirit for health and healing. I’ve practiced medicine in this area for so long that I know the community, can make more specific recommendations, and be the part of the health care team who advocates for you as a whole. person.

Business Owner

Hi, I’m Dr. Danielle Rosenman, and I practiced family medicine more than 25 years, counseling people through the medical issues of life. My training and experience includes guided imagery, counseling, intuition work, meditation, spiritual direction, and other aspects of mind-​body medicine. Music has always been a love of mine, and though I played violin and guitar in the past, for many years I have been a singer. I sang in the Oakland Jazz Choir for five years but left the choir when my children were young. I also love being out in nature (especially walking with my dog) and gardening. I retired from my family medicine practice because of chronic back pain, and I know how it feels to live with limitations and to work hard finding The New Normal for myself and my family. It is my privilege to be able to use both my professional and personal experience to help others in counseling. I am married and have two children, diverse pets, and an assortment of variously elderly parents.
