What should a new client know about working with you?
I love working with teens, adults, and elderly individuals who want to make meaningful changes in their lives but are unsure where to begin. Often my clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational closeness, and wanting a more purposeful life. I also work with couples who are struggling with communication problems, conflict, or feelings of disconnection and strive for a deeper and more meaningful relationship with each other.
Some of my favorite approaches include Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), The Gottman Method, and Inter-Analytic Couples Therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, steering away from the notion of a one-size-fits-all solution.
During Rooky’s clinical training, she provided psychotherapy to individual adults, teens, children, and couples at Southern California Counseling Center, a non-profit community clinic.
Before becoming a therapist, Rooky volunteered at Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Center for 2 years. She also worked in Public Relations and Interior Design.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Rooky views therapy as a collaborative process. She works with individual clients to help them identify their goals for therapy. Rooky is curious and emphasizes the client’s strengths and resources to empower her clients. She believes the client is the expert on their own lives and that given the right tools, they can create meaningful change in their life. Rooky emphasizes the importance of recognizing and dissecting the impact of cultural influences and other factors on one's self-perception and identity. She uses a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Attachment-Based, and Strength-Based Therapy approaches, according to the client’s challenges and needs. Rooky welcomes feedback about the therapeutic process so that the client is on the same page, every step of the way.
