Getting to know Roger Portillo
Hi there, I'm Roger!
Hello, my name is Roger Portillo (LCSW), a mental health therapist in Southern California's San Gabriel Valley. I assist individuals of any gender who are first- or second-generation parents seeking emotional tranquility in an ever-changing world. If you feel disconnected or out of touch, reach out—I can help.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is interpersonal and relational, based on a bond that fosters trust and open communication. It's judgment-free yet purposeful, focused on goals set by the individual seeking therapy.
My focus
I work with clients of all genders, especially those navigating life as first- or second-generation parents—direct descendants or children of parents from other countries—helping resolve confusion or pain related to transitions, loss, or other challenges.
My communication style
I create safe spaces for individuals to explore vulnerabilities. My tone is neutral and calm, prioritizing listening over speaking. I am inquisitive and curious about a person’s experience. You'll feel supported and heard when meeting with me.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been a therapist in Southern California for 10 years. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and my Bachelor’s from the University of California, Irvine. I am dedicated to person-centered treatment to help those seeking mental health support.
My goals for you
At treatment onset, we discuss and explore your expectations of therapy. Throughout treatment, I will revisit these ideas to discuss progress.
My first session with you
Expect a discussion about therapy and your treatment expectations, plus a transparent conversation about your rights as a consumer. I will share my background and how I can assist in your treatment.
