Partnership for Culturally-Specific, Short-Term Telehealth Services via Beautiful Rose Counseling

The FLC Counseling Center has partnered with Cheyenne Bellarosa, LCSW, of Beautiful Rose Counseling, to offer limited, free telehealth sessions to better address the unique, culturally-specific needs some Indigenous students have, and to support you in identifying your needs and strengths moving forward. The goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and empowering environment. This partnership is supported by grant funding from the SAMSHA Garret Lee Smith Campus Prevention Grant. Students are eligible for up to 5 free telehealth sessions under this partnership.

About Cheyenne:

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, graduated from the DU Graduate School of Social Work, Four Corners Program, Summa Cum Laude in June of 2020. I care deeply about merging my passions for social justice and psychosomatic healing; understanding that oppressive systems can affect our mental health over time and through generations in ways that can become a major barrier in our wellness. Integrating our adversities and strengths can lead to the empowerment of ourselves to find fulfillment in confidence, decision-making, and relationship.

Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan from children experiencing grief and loss, college students struggling with depression, anxiety, and more, to caregiving for the aging population with neurological developmental disorders. My tailored client-centered approach has lent to creating meaningful therapeutic relationships that instill hope and healing.

As a multicultural woman, holding both Yup'ik, Aleut, and Ashkenazi identities, I not only have personal experience with historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and women's issues, I also specialize in grief and loss, sexual assault/violence, suicidality, relationship issues, transitional difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more.

After my experience as a student at Fort Lewis College studying Psychology, and my two-year clinical training during grad school with the Fort Lewis College Counseling Center, I have held my connections with FLC's staff and students dear to my heart. These experiences and relationships have become formative markers of who I am as a multiracial clinician seeking to bridge Indigenous-specific healing to emerging adults feeling disconnected and displaced in who they are, and where they come from.

Outside my clinical work, I love reading, writing poetry, cooking, walking, swimming, dancing, watching movies, board and card games, and spending time with family. My partner and I reside in Denver, CO with our dog, Nala, as we expect our first baby to arrive in September of 2025.
