Are you navigating anxiety, trauma, or life transitions—and searching for a therapist who truly sees you? Whether you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in unhelpful patterns, you deserve support that honors your voice and empowers lasting change. My name is Rosa Cecilia, and I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Grow Therapy. I specialize in guiding adults through healing and transformation using a warm, culturally responsive, and evidence-based approach. I meet clients exactly where they are—offering both structure and flexibility as they reconnect with their values, inner wisdom, and strengths. My areas of expertise include Complex trauma, emotional neglect, and abuse recovery- Maternal mental health (perinatal, postpartum, and identity shifts)- Anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges. - Low self-worth, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism. - Existential distress, life transitions, and personal growth My approach blends science and soul. I draw from CBT, ACT, DBT-informed strategies, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Humanistic principles—tailoring each session to your goals, pace, and readiness. If you’re ready to step into healing, clarity, and growth, I’d be honored to support your journey. You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck. Let’s build something new together.
Your first session with me is all about creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. We’ll take time to explore what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I’ll also explain confidentiality, answer any logistical questions, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling understood, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
What sets my approach apart is the balance I strike between clinical precision and compassionate connection. I don’t just offer techniques — I offer a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, collaboration, and emotional safety. Above all, I create a space where clients feel safe to explore, grow, and heal — at their own pace, with support that’s both structured and deeply human.
I specialize in supporting adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or trapped in cycles of anxiety, grief, or self-doubt. My ideal clients are often navigating high-pressure roles, family stressors, or transitions that have left them questioning their identity, values, or direction. I’m especially attuned to individuals who: Struggle with anxiety, depression, or persistent grief, and yearn for clarity and emotional relief - Experience low self-esteem, self-sabotage, or perfectionism—and want to reclaim confidence and self-worth - Feel stuck in difficult relationships, facing manipulation, co-parenting tension, or boundary violations- Are ambivalent about change, but curious to explore values-based strategies and insight-oriented tools Many of my clients are: Thoughtful and reflective, seeking a nonjudgmental space to be truly seen and heard. - Motivated to grow, even when fear or uncertainty holds them back. - Looking for tangible skills, emotional support, and a therapist who brings both warmth and clinical expertise As a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinician, I also welcome clients navigating cultural identity, language-based barriers, or intergenerational dynamics that impact emotional well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of my therapeutic work. I use it to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop balanced perspectives, and build coping strategies that support emotional resilience.
i incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build psychological flexibility — the ability to stay present, accept difficult emotions, and take action aligned with their values. ACT complements my work with clients navigating ambivalence, emotional dysregulation, and self-sabotage.
I integrate Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to support clients struggling with shame, self-criticism, and emotional wounds from past experiences. CFT provides a framework for cultivating self-compassion, emotional safety, and resilience — especially for those who have internalized negative beliefs or experienced relational trauma.
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in developing emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT’s structured yet compassionate approach aligns well with my commitment to helping clients navigate intense emotions and relational challenges.
