Jake Furey-Rosan, MSW

Jake is a rostered psychotherapist, having earned his Master’s of Social Work from Boston College. Jake knows that life is a long story, and we can decide how we retell it to ourselves. In therapy, he mixes elements of CBT, Narrative Therapy, and WHO approaches such as Problem Management Plus and Self Help Plus.

Jake has moved and resettled and readjusted to new places countless times in his life, living in twelve towns and cities in five countries on four continents. He focused on global practice and social work with refugees in his MSW studies, and interned in Kampala, Uganda with the Jesuit Refugee Service. While there, he worked with clients carrying trauma from war, flight, poverty, discrimination, and gender-based violence.

Jake has years of experience with intercultural communication and adaptation through his studies, his therapy work, his time as an English as a Second Language Teacher, and his own personal experiences as a stranger in strange lands. Jake seeks to continue serving refugees and immigrants as they build a new life in green Vermont, and he wants to put his skills and experience to use for anyone who is grappling with transition, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, no matter how near or far they are from home.
