About Us

A little something about us.

Rose City Therapeutics, located in Tualatin, OR, was formed by Jim and Jen Markovics. We work in close consultation with Dr. Carol Markovics, who is Jim’s wife and Jen’s mom, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with Play 2 Grow group with whom we all share a common goal of coordinated care. In addition to Dr. Carol, two Licensed Occupational Therapists and a Licensed Language Therapist round out the complement of providers at Play 2 Grow Developmental Therapy. We currently share office space with our colleagues at Play 2 Grow.


Since Dr. Jim retired in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Jen has been training Linden Andrews to work with them as another neurofeedback practitioner. Both practitioners consult with each other as well as with others who are part of the EEGinfo network of practitioners who are all mentored under Sue Othmer, Clinical Director and co-founder with her husband Siegfried Othmer of EEGinfo and the Othmer Method that we use.
