First session

Conduct a clinical assessment, get to know each other, establish treatment goals.

Strengths

I am dedicated to helping you heal and grow on your journey to becoming your true self. Life is often filled with obstacles and unexpected difficulties. Psychotherapy, like life, is a process and a journey of discovery. Like life, there cannot be growth without growing pains. Individual or couples therapy can be the opportunity you have been waiting for to change your life.

Ideal clients

If you are looking to learn more about yourself and understand how you can grow and change through the process of psychotherapy, this is the place for you. Therapy is a process of learning about yourself in deep, meaningful ways to create the change you need to meet your goals. If you are open to looking at yourself, changing, and growing, this is the place for you!

Treatment methods

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how unconscious processes, past experiences, and early childhood relationships shape a person's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Therapists help clients gain insight by uncovering hidden patterns and connecting past conflicts with current struggles, fostering emotional expression and leading to significant personal growth and long-term change. *NOT accepting couples or family therapy clients at this time.

Attachment-based

In therapy, we will focus on unconscious attachment styles and how they contribute to your current struggles.

Trauma-Informed Care

History of working with trauma survivors and have extensive research in CPTSD and PTSD

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I can utilize some CBT concepts in therapy. This consists of understanding how your thinking and belief systems play a role in your current challenges in your mental health, relationships, etc.

Psychoanalytic

I am currently a training analyst, which is a more intensive form of psychodynamic therapy, typically involving multiple sessions per week.

I was first skeptical about taking my mental health seriously due to being judged and and other misconceptions but Dr. Mario Rocha provides a safe, welcoming, and compassionate environment where I always feel truly heard and understood. He is incredibly patient, insightful, and professional. I highly recommend his services to anyone.

Open-minded and brought up several generalized examples of perhaps why my husband & I disagree. Mario brought up good suggestions as a starting point in the process of fixing our relationship. We look forward to further sessions to allow each other to be heard finally, so we can work towards salvaging our relationship and especially to avoid separation or divorce.
