Rochelle Koch
Hi, I'm Rochelle Koch, LCSW, owner of Kasama Bloom. I have over 15 years of experience providing mental health services in diverse populations including academic, community and medical settings.
As the only second-generation Filipino American in my immediate family, I understand the weight of intergenerational expectations, cultural silence around mental health, and the resilience it takes to navigate identity and belonging.

First session
Clients can expect to walk away from sessions feeling seen and supported. Whether you're navigating burnout, life transitions, anxiety, depression or identity work, you'll leave sessions with deeper self-understanding, practical coping skills, and the reassurance that you don't have to carry it all alone.
Strengths
I create a space where clients feel truly heard and safe. I take time to get to know my clients. I honor the full complexity of who you are: your history, your heritage, your roles, and the quiet parts of your story that often go unseen. I want therapy to feel like a collaboration to do meaningful work.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are open to growth and ready to reconnect with themselves. People who value authenticity in a therapeutic relationship; to show up with honesty even in uncertainty.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
My approach is relational, collaborative and holistic. I integrate evidence-based practices like mindfulness and strengths-based reflection to support regulation and resilience.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT provides a way for self-compassion, not perfection. It helps clients who are in "survival mode" to live with intention. This approach is empowering especially for those who suppress their needs for others.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is collaborative and compassionate, focusing on building awareness, developing practical coping skills, and creating small, achievable steps toward lasting change. I tailor CBT techniques to each client’s unique story, ensuring the work feels relevant, culturally attuned, and empowering.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This approach blends practical mindfulness skills—like grounding exercises, breathwork, and noticing thoughts without judgment—with talk therapy to support emotional regulation and reduce stress. Together, we create space to slow down, tune in, and respond to life with more clarity and intention.
