Getting to know Rocio Mercado-Rosas

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients across the state of California. I typically work with children, teens, parents, individual adults, and couples. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne, which has deeply informed my approach to care. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy with adults to explore how negative thoughts impact their lives. With children, I use Play Therapy or model it for parents, as play is often easier for children to understand than words alone. When working with couples striving for a healthy connection, I tend to use Gottman Therapy. I have found that my style and approach are especially helpful for individuals impacted by overwhelming stressors. This often presents as anxiety, depression, stress, or behavioral challenges in children. I work to help clients navigate life transitions, establish healthy boundaries, process grief, and develop healthier coping skills to manage daily challenges. My communication style is calm, inclusive, and playful when appropriate. I prioritize incorporating your background, experiences, and values to set meaningful treatment goals. Communication is key in all relationships and essential to feeling safe and understood throughout your treatment. My personal background, culture, and values play a large role in my inspiration to be a therapist. I recognize that everyone's history shapes who they are and how they respond to both positive and negative experiences. My cultural and educational background continually reminds me of the importance of empathy when hearing each individual's story.
