“Working with my therapist has been one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences in my life. From the very beginning, he created a safe and supportive space where I felt truly heard, understood, and never judged. His empathy is genuine, and it shows in the way he listens and responds with care and insight. He supported me through some of the darkest and most complicated moments in my life, helping me find light when everything felt overwhelming. Instead of offering quick fixes, he guided me toward clarity, self-reflection, and growth at my own pace. Through our work together, I’ve grown as a person and developed a deeper sense of emotional intelligence. I now understand my thoughts and emotions more clearly and feel more equipped to navigate challenges. I’m truly grateful for his support, compassion, and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking meaningful growth and healing.”

First of all, please call me Wally as it's my preferred and forever nickname. I'm a native New Yorker and licensed clinical psychotherapist in the state of New York, and I specialize in helping youth and adults cope with a variety of problems. My ultimate goal is to help you thrive in a fuller sense of the expression using evidence-based practices alongside a blend of traditional and nontraditional therapeutic approaches. The fact of the matter is navigating life can be extremely difficult and exhausting, but if you're willing to do the work, I will do everything in my power as a psychotherapist to help you achieve your goals!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to psychotherapy is open-minded, goal-oriented, collaborative, and client-centered. Everything is connected and inadvertently affecting each other, and I will do my best to help you identify patterns and make connections relative to your overall and inevitable success. Above all, my approach to therapy is meeting you where you're at by tailoring therapy to your unique needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session with me looks like being listened to within a positive and safe space all while being gently challenged to help guide you in whichever direction will suite you best.

    I’ve been with Wally on and off as a patient for years now for different eras of my life that felt extra difficulty with. This practical and caring approach to mental health has helped me tremendously. The best mental health councilor in NYC
    My therapist is great ,he gives such great advice he’s down to earth and very understanding ,he doesn’t make me feel like I’m just one of his clients…I couldn’t ask for anyone better…I love the fact that everything he suggests he backs it up with actual research that provides the best solution for whatever situation
    I would highly recommend him as a therapist, he is always very welcoming and is flexible. He's willing to accommodate any scheduling conflict. When it comes to the therapy it’s self he motivates you to want to do better for yourself, he gives you tasks that help better your skills for yourself and with people around you. He is very realistic with the goals as well and keeps you on track with them! I truly Highly recommend!
    Gualberto and I have been working together for a couple of years. He’s been down to earth and understanding. I always look forward to my sessions with him on a weekly basis. There is no question that he is here to help his patients with the upmost professionalism. I look forward to continue to work with him.
    Gualberto Rosario is very down to earth, easy to talk to, and professional. I felt a safe and non judgmental environment ever since the first session. Makes me feel heard and understood. Working with him has helped me in more ways than one, truly has helped me grow. Thank you for helping my healing process.
    I absolutely love our sessions. Gualberto provides amazing insights, resources, most importantly support to whatever issue I am dealing with. I also love that he gives me homework that allows me to better myself and we can further discuss things together. Most importantly I think what Gualberto does best is help me consistently tackle goals I find important. Things that will help me feel most confident about myself.
    From the start, I felt comfortable being with Wally. Super chill and professional person. Wait time is not too long maybe less than 5 minutes, I can trust him as a friend/therapist about my life and how I’m doing.
    I’ve had a really positive experience working with Gualberto. From the beginning he’s been someone who genuinely listens without judgement which has helped me open up about my issues. He’s helped me see things from a different perspective and has helped me tremendously. Were able to talk things through in a way that feels productive, The tools that I have learned helps me navigate each day. So I highly recommend and hope everyone is able to find the help they need.
    He is amazing. He has helped me so much. He listens and gives you both sides of the situation and helps you see what you didn't see before. And slowly helps to build you up and doesn't judge you when there is a setback in fact talks you through it and helps you realize what happened and what things would help you overcome it. At the end of the session I always feel like I was talking to my very blunt best friend the one that always hold you accountable and points out the good and and bad and is a fixture through both.
    I’ve been seeing Wally for a few years now and I still leave every session learning something new whether it be about myself or the world around me. He has created a safe space for me to share my thoughts and emotions or anything else that’s on my mind. He has helped me through the ups and downs of my adult life and whenever I need guidance he is a text away.
    When it took the time to find my therapist at the age of 16 I had trouble finding someone, I took me awhile but I found this therapist and it was online(zoom), he created a safe space being able to consider what was going on with me all along with giving me techniques and skills to overcome challenges. These past 2 years with my therapist has shown me so much growth then I could have imagined and to him I’m grateful. We have all overcome many challenges and when your able to speak and find a safe space is worth it, being able to understand yourself is the truest thing you as a person can ever do.
    I've been seeing Wally for a little over year now. His sessions are really helpful, guiding me to observe myself in a different point of view, giving me different perspectives on all the subject matters and helping me better myself.
    I have been with him for over three years and since then he’s always been understanding and helped me grow. Additionally, he always tries to be flexible with times where if I’m unable to attend regularly, he can adjust his time that works best for me. I’d highly recommend him, especially if this your first time looking for a therapist.
    I highly recommend Gualberto as a therapist. He has been incredibly attentive these past years and he takes his time to listen and understand what I’m going through. Ever since our first session together I have felt comfortable and supportive which gave me the opportunity to open up and grow as a person. Something that stands out the most is his depth of knowledge and the way he applies it in a thoughtful and practical way. He doesn’t just listen he provides meaningful insights and tools that have genuinely helped be navigated obstacles in my life. My visits have always been positive and I am very grateful for the support he has provided.
    Wally does a great job of letting you lead the conversation while also stepping in with a clear plan when you’re not sure what to focus on. He encourages small, practical activities between sessions that genuinely support your growth and help you make progress on what matters most. I highly recommend working with him.
    I’ve had Gualberto as a therapist for years, He is very open-minded and provides an especially safe environment for being open and honest in sessions, on top of being very flexible and understanding he is consistent and very patient,10/10 would recommend him for anyone in need of a long term therapist
    Wally is an amazing therapist! I initially started seeing him after my cousin referred me to him and it was an instant hit. I have heard it takes seeing a few different therapists to find one that you can connect with. This was entirely untrue in my case. Sessions with Wally feel like a hangout rather than therapy. The way he is attentive to details is incredible. He remembers things that I forgot I even mentioned to him. The instant anyone mentions potentially starting therapy, I jump to telling them about Wally. I will always recommend him!
    I have been receiving Psychotherapy services from this provider for the past 4 years. I have a really busy and ever changing schedule as a freelance artist and performer. Mr. Rosario’s flexibility and kindness has allowed for me to continue working on my mental wellness without interruption. He always finds a way to make it work! Every week I look forward to our sessions, I have grown tremendously through our work together and I’m very proud of the commitment I made to my own well being. As a person of color it was important for me to find a psychotherapy provider who would understand that experience. Wally is constantly reading and sharing his research with me, he is eager to find creative ways to support my process. Through the challenges and triumphs of my life in the past few years I am so grateful to have Wally as a therapist.
    He’s one of the best therapists I’ve ever had - I feel like I can really connect with him easily! He’s helped me through plenty of issues and is the fastest person to get me to open up about some of my deeper issues.
    I’ve had a really positive experience working with my therapist, Gualberto Rosario. Working with them has truly made a difference in my life. They’ve helped me manage my anxiety and stress, and supported me through tough times. Through our sessions, I’ve been able to understand the root of my emotions and feel that my feelings truly matter. I’ve learned healthy ways to handle difficult situations, and I’ve grown more confident in managing my emotions and facing uncomfortable moments. They are kind, patient, accommodating, and very supportive. I always feel comfortable opening up and never feel judged—there’s always a safe space. I’ve seen real progress in how I approach and respond to challenging situations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for support or considering starting therapy.
    Wally is amazing. I started seeing him after a recommendation and it was an instant connection. I’ve heard people need to go to several therapists before they find one they truly connect with. But from day one Wally made me feel very comfortable and the sessions feel more like a hangouts versus therapy. He is truly one of a kind and pays attention to details and remembers things that even I forgot I mentioned to him. He is very thorough and I would highly recommend him to everyone.
    Been working with Gualberto for more then 3 years now and can't imagine working with anyone else. Has been a great provider and helped me greatly on my mental health. Highly recommended!
    I always feel listened to and validated and I also appreciate the insights of when I am incorrect. Will call me out and make me really elaborate and reflect on my own behavior before any opinions. Very respectful and attentive. Couldn’t recommend or ask for a better therapist.
    It was an incredibly pleasant experience. The therapists I had before Wally weren’t very straightforward about certain things, but I believe Wally has a great pace and will be completely honest with you. He tailors his approach to your specific needs, and our work has been highly productive. I’ve made significant improvements, and I think he’s one of the therapists who genuinely cares. He’s highly professional, and I would highly recommend him. I’ve never had a single bad session with him.
    THE BEST! When I had my first consult with Wally, it was my first time going to therapy and I couldn't have asked for a better experience and journey moving forward. From the very beginning, it was comfortable, I felt heard, and never judged, which made it so much easier to open up and delve into all my obstacles. Wally is incredibly patient, understanding and genuinely cares about his clients. Every session is a safe space where the patient is prioritized and he is focused on helping through the challenges. He provides with me great takeaways after each session and with some coping exercises targeted for improvement such as journaling, goal-making and engaging in hobbies or self care. If you're someone who's nervous about starting therapy for the first time, I would most definitely recommend him. He is truly made a difficult first step feel comfortable and worth it.
    My therapist Wally aka Gualberto Rosario has helped me a lot throughout our time. Me and him have been together for almost 4 years and throughout this time he's helped me handle and make sense of personal things in my life. I have always felt comfortable going to him with my problems and just speaking whatever is on my mind. I remember when I first started therapy I was in a very low place in life but now I am doing much better and everything has improved. Thanks to Wally I know how to better handle my emotions and whatever situations arise in life.
    I’ve been seeing Gualberto for a little over two years now and I can honestly say he has helped me through the hardest times in my life. Talking with him has really helped me grow and move forward. He’s patient, understanding, and always knows exactly what to say. Since I am a mom I appreciate how flexible he is with rescheduling. His support not only helped me move forward, but also motivated me to get back on track, even applying to school and has kept me grounded! I’m truly grateful for all the support he’s given me and would highly recommend him to anyone going through a difficult time.
