About

Hi there, I'm Rosa! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, youth, adults, and families. I am passionate about supporting my clients and helping them better understand the issues they are dealing with. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am also experienced in working with issues related to acculturation. My approach I provide a strength-based approach to therapy. With the understanding that everyone has strengths, they bring to the table. If you struggle to identify your own strengths, we will work together to help you identify and recognize your strengths. My focus I have worked with a variety of clients to address a variety of client needs. I have worked with clients needing low to high levels of care. I have supported clients with issues related to anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, relationship issues, and paranoia. I am comfortable supporting clients with a variety of issues as described. My communication style My hope is always to create a welcoming and trusting environment with clients. I am straightforward and transparent. Working with me comes with support, psychoeducation, and the development of treatment goals, we will set together. I take a non-judgmental approach to our work together. My journey to mental healthcare I love helping people and have enjoyed this since a young age. I am empathetic and realistic and respond well when others are in need of mental and emotional support. I really enjoy helping others feel empowered teaching them coping strategies and tools they can utilize and carry with them for support lifelong. My goals for you I approach goal setting with clients by exploring with clients what they are hoping to get out of or accomplish in therapy. I ask clients to take an active role in identifying these treatment goals for themselves and I assist and support clients to not only set long-term but also short-term goals in our work together.
