Rather than turn people in need of help away, Rosanne decided in 2008 to surround herself with other like-minded and passionate therapists who are committed to putting the patient's needs first. Since then, the Calm and Sense team has grown to over 40 dedicated employees, 33 of those therapists, and in four locations that serve those in need of support.
