Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or ADHD? You don’t have to face it alone. I’m Rafael Rosales, a bilingual licensed therapist with a Master’s in Social Work and extensive experience with both men and women. I offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that meets you where you are emotionally, culturally, and personally. I specialize in helping clients explore bicultural identity, navigate intergenerational family dynamics, and heal from trauma.
I use evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, and CPT to support emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and goal setting. My sessions are collaborative, strengths-based, and non-judgmental.
Whether you're seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or major life changes, I offer a safe, affirming space for healing. I also provide a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Healing starts with one small, courageous step. Reach out today!
