LCSW, 20 years of experience
Hello! My name is Gloria Rojas and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Outside of private practice, I work as a Director of Mental Health for a community-based mental health agency. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Master’s in Social Work and a Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Social Work and Child Welfare and Attendance. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to process, heal and rebuild. My services can be provided to clients with the following concerns: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, behavioral issues, ADHD, loss/grief, acute stress, adjustment to life transitions, women's issues, parenting, relationship difficulties, generational trauma, and cultural issues. All services can be provided in English and Spanish. I was inspired to become a therapist because I truly love helping others and feel a great privilege to be trusted with assisting someone on their journey to healing. I am driven to do this work every day because I have been blessed with experiencing the power of mental health services in my own family of origin. Additionally, as a professional and mother, I hope to serve as an example to others of overcoming obstacles, social pressures, and cultural dynamics to have a balance and thrive in all areas of life.
In our first session together, I will begin by asking the reason for seeking treatment, inquire about your current symptoms, how these affect your life and obtain other relevant historical information. We will end by setting goals for treatment collaboratively.
I am trained and use a variety of Evidenced-based treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Problem-Solving Treatment, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety, and Managing and Adapting Practice among others. We will focus on interventions to identify the problem and learn skills to improve your current symptoms and functioning.
My areas of strength are in treating depression, anxiety, trauma and parenting.
I love working with client experiencing Anxiety, Depression and Trauma. I am fluent in English and Spanish and really enjoy conducting sessions in both languages.
