“In my experience Emilio has a really strong nack for breaking down what is shared about any given situation, feeling, trauma, etc, and really helping one get to the root of the topic in a very powerful way. He makes me feel seen, understood, and supported in a way I never thought possible through my struggles. His perspectives, his ability to center me in my most raw of moments have helped me to appreciate him and his skills. For that reason I would 1,000% recommend him to anyone I know in need of a great therapist and trust him with any and all of my colleagues interested in mental health support.”

Getting to know Emilio Rubalcava
Hi there, I'm Emilio!
My name is Emilio Rubalcava Jr, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a first-generation Mexican American who is bilingual in Spanish. I use a mix of Solution Focused Therapy and Bowenian Family Systems Therapy in my work with clients.
My approach
My style is authentic, collaborative, kind, and direct. Safety is a top priority. My goal is to help you gain insight and awareness, which can propel us forward into making the necessary changes. I will be here every step of the way, rooting for you and holding you accountable.
My focus
I provide nurturing, compassionate, and supportive therapy to individuals and families. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, issues of self-worth, grief, and loss. I wholeheartedly believe in our ability to transform, heal, and grow; sometimes we just need a helping hand to guide us along that transformative journey.
My communication style
I bring compassion and mindful attention to accompany my clients in navigating life's struggles, stressors, and transitions. I use a nonjudgmental approach in addressing my clients' experiences.
My journey to mental healthcare
I officially began my journey in mental health in 2013, working in a Mental Rehabilitation Center. Witnessing the benefits of psychotherapy inspired me to pursue a Master's degree in Counseling from Palo Alto University. I have been a clinician since 2018. My goal prior to obtaining my degree has always been to help people who are traditionally underserved and struggle to find therapeutic care. My unique experiences have taught me that I can make a difference-whether I am helping someone put on shoes, de-escalating an upsetting situation, or simply being present and listening.
My goals for you
I encourage my clients to use their own curiosity and commitment to work through issues, supporting their decisions on areas where they need support.
