Dr. Adi Rosenthal (she/her), is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in infant and early childhood mental health. She works with children and families experiencing a range of concerns, including parent-child relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment to new life circumstances. With specialized training in trauma-focused care, she integrates evidence-based behavioral therapies with attachment-based interventions, tailoring treatment to each child and family’s unique needs. Dr. Rosenthal is especially passionate about supporting parents in fostering relationships that are safe, loving, and full of delight.

She received her B.A. in psychology from Emory University, where her interest in early childhood began through research on infant spatial cognition. She then worked at UC Davis’ Department of Psychiatry, helping implement early psychosis screenings in the community. Dr. Rosenthal earned her Ph.D. at the University of Denver, obtaining advanced training in child and family therapy and assessment while conducting research focused on how families and systems respond to trauma. She completed her internship at The Children’s Center Utah, providing family therapy for children 0-5 exposed to trauma and conducting developmental assessments. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Thriving Families Colorado, treating trauma- and mood-related concerns during pregnancy and postpartum and developed a group program supporting families affected by cycles of abuse.

In her free time, she enjoys playing water polo, painting, and cuddles with her two cats.
