With 17 years of experience, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share openly, receive thoughtful feedback (and sometimes homework!), and move past obstacles. In our sessions, you can expect warmth, compassion, and evidence-based strategies to help you break free from the habits holding you back. Sensibility, empathy, and a touch of humor are among my clinical strengths. Working collaboratively, we’ll uncover what’s blocking your progress and build a path toward positive, lasting change.

Hi! My name is Rosario Aceves. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is excited at the opportunity God has given me to help you through Grow Therapy. I have over 15 years of experience working with teens, adults, and the elderly. As Director of Social Services in a nursing and rehabilitation center I dealt with issues around anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, care planning, end of life issues, counseling clients to better manage, often times very complex health conditions, provided resources and more. As an Integrated Behavioral Health Clinician at a non-profit clinic I provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, parenting support, grief and loss, mental health concerns and substance use. I worked closely with, and provided consultation to medical providers and the medical care team to provide holistic and comprehensive care. Due to the pandemic opportunities to provide individual therapy via telehealth has been transformative to both my clients and I. When I'm not working I love spending time alone with God, my husband of 14 years, my four wonderful daughters, family and friends. I have been primarily homeschooling my girls and managing my home to the best of my ability. Being in nature, especially by the ocean or river, drawing, painting, journaling, hiking, playing a sport like soccer, volleyball, basketball, and tennis are things that refuel me.

I believe that therapy can heal, but I also know that telling a stranger about your deepest pain can be a strange feeling. Perhaps you've been feeling sad, depressed or worried, and hopeless that anything in your life can change. Or maybe you aren't sure what you would even want help with. You know you feel bad, but if someone were to ask you "How can I help?", you aren't sure what you would say. These problems can feel permanent and unsolvable. After all, something feels broken and unfixable, so how could you not feel that it takes all the energy you have just to get up in the morning and go about your day? Depression or anxiety can also feel isolating, as if nobody else could possibly understand. You may have even received advice from people who you feel mean well but can't understand what you're going through. Depression and anxiety are not permanent or unfixable, and therapy can help. Imagine feeling peace of mind, and excited about life and its possibilities. It starts by learning about you and going at your pace. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 16 years experience working with adults and teens, I've seen therapy work, and I feel lucky that I get to be part of that journey for others.
