Getting to know Rocio Hartigan

Hola, I am a licensed bilingual LMFT with over 10 years of experience. I provide effective, culturally sensitive therapy for all clients, with particular expertise in serving the Latino community. My approach combines EFT, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, CBT, art therapy, and client-centered approaches. I believe that client diversity requires therapists to be versatile in their techniques to meet each client's unique needs. I primarily use empathy, active listening, emotion exploration, dialogue, reframing, and gentle challenging of thoughts, while providing take-home resources for practice. Above all, I prioritize client safety and respect their pace in therapy. I believe therapy can benefit everyone, particularly those who notice recurring patterns in their lives—patterns that surface across work, relationships, and friendships. I work with people who want to build self-advocacy skills, boost their confidence, understand their emotions, and achieve personal growth. Together, we explore life challenges, intergenerational trauma, past wounds, PTSD, anxiety, stress, and depression, working toward positive change and self-actualization. I create a warm, genuine, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences, always adapting my approach to what works best for each person, using clear and respectful communication to help clients on their path to healing. I began my career in Mexico, where I completed a bachelor's degree in clinical psychology and a master's degree in systemic family therapy at Instituto Zapopan. After gaining 10 years of experience there, I transferred my career to California during COVID-19 to be closer to my family. Since then, I have dedicated myself as an LMFT to supporting my clients, learning new therapeutic programs and approaches, and expanding my knowledge to help more people.
