Rosa provides a very welcoming space, is very open-minded, and asks thoughtful questions. I’ve tried a couple of different providers in the past, and Rosa is the first one who has made me look forward to each session. It’s definitely helpful to share core identities with a professional who truly understands, although I’m positive she would be just as great even if you didn’t share those same identities.

I've continued going to Rosa for a while, and she has helped me SO much. I've seen my depression decrease, and she has helped me to set boundaries that make me feel more in control of myself while still remaining kind. I look forward to our sessions because she is an incredible balance of affirming and challenging. I know she will help hold me accountable for the work I need to do while being gentle as well. She is incredible!
