Hi there, I'm Rocio!

Hello, I'm a licensed therapist with 18 years of experience working with children, families, and adults from diverse backgrounds. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem issues, single parenting, grief/loss, or trauma, I'm here to help you find your strengths and achieve a positive transformation in your well-being, happiness, outlook, and self-esteem.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic but grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe there is no "one size fits all" type of therapy. Together, we will develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs, with an approach you can relate to. I provide therapy in a culturally sensitive, strength-based, and safe environment.

My focus

I work with individuals and families, including first-generation immigrants experiencing emotional stress and the challenges of navigating two worlds. I am committed to helping clients of all ages and from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

My communication style

In our sessions, you can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment. I aim to help you develop coping skills, strategies, and resources to meet life's challenges with confidence and competence. My goal is to empower you to take control of your life, maximize your potential, and create a more satisfying future.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with my experience as a first-generation Latinx immigrant. I understand firsthand the emotional stress and pressure of navigating two worlds. This motivated me to pursue a career in therapy, where I could help others facing similar challenges. I started as a case manager before becoming a therapist, earning my Master's degree in Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles.

My goals for you

My primary goal is to support you in your healing journey and personal growth. I want to help you develop the tools and self-awareness to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and lead a fulfilling life. Together, we will work towards improving your mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. I will listen attentively to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and aspirations. We will begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and collaborate on creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. You can expect a non-judgmental, empathetic, and confidential space to share your thoughts and feelings.
