Rocio Mercado, LMFT

Rocio Mercado, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
CA
My personal background, culture, and values play a large role in my inspiration to be a therapist. I recognize how everyone has their own history, which shapes who they are and how they react to positive and negative situations. My cultural and educational background, including my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne, is a constant reminder of the importance of empathy when hearing someone's individual story. I'm passionate about helping others who need support with current childhood challenges, processing childhood trauma, creating healthy communication habits to form strong relationships, and addressing the impact of anxiety and depression.

Getting to know Rocio Mercado

My personal background, culture, and values play a large role in my inspiration to be a therapist. I recognize how everyone has their own history, which shapes who they are and how they react to positive and negative situations. My cultural and educational background, including my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne, is a constant reminder of the importance of empathy when hearing someone's individual story. I'm passionate about helping others who need support with current childhood challenges, processing childhood trauma, creating healthy communication habits to form strong relationships, and addressing the impact of anxiety and depression.

What should a new client know about working with you?

We will be working as a team to help you get closer to the goals you want to meet. With strength based approaches, I hope to empower you to reflect on your emotions and utilize the learned skills to start implementing them into your life, outside of our sessions. My priority is to include your own background, experiences, and values to set goals for treatment. Communication is key in all relationships and is necessary to feel safe and understood in your treatment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Building rapport is a vital part of beginning the trust between a client and a therapist. During my first session with adults, I like to review your goals and expectations of treatment, as well as any previous experiences in therapy, as those can shape our view of treatment. I want to make sure I take your most important values into account in order to create a safe therapeutic environment. From my experiences, children and teens have a harder time building that trust. Therefore, my first session with them includes a whole session dedicated to getting to know one another with an ice breaker activity. I find this helps form the foundation to that safe space to begin opening up.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $125 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $125 for 60 minutes
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
