Rosalia Murillo, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rosalia!

I am a compassionate LCSW who helps clients move through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions with practical, evidence-based support. My style is gentle, direct, and collaborative, with a focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful change that fits your life.

My focus

I support clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or major life changes and want a therapist who is warm, nonjudgmental, and practical. I offer gentle validation, direct guidance when needed, and evidence-based support to help clients build coping skills, gain insight, and move toward meaningful change.

My approach

I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My approach is gentle and validating, with humor when helpful, and I am direct when needed to keep therapy focused and effective. I work hard to meet each person with respect, care, and honesty.

My communication style

I set a calm, warm, and collaborative tone from the start, helping clients feel at ease and understood. My communication style is gentle, validating, and nonjudgmental, with humor when helpful and directness when needed to keep sessions focused, supportive, and practical.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work by a desire to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered through difficult experiences. My journey has shaped a compassionate, practical approach that values warmth, honesty, and collaboration, and I am committed to creating a space where clients can do meaningful work at their own pace.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their treatment goals by creating a warm, collaborative space where we clarify what matters most, build on strengths, and focus on practical, evidence-based steps. I use gentle validation, direct guidance when needed, and tailored coping strategies to help clients gain insight, stay engaged, and make meaningful progress.

Our first session

I strive to create a warm, comfortable space where we can get to know each other and talk about what's bringing you to therapy. I know reaching out can feel vulnerable, and it's completely okay to feel nervous at the start. Therapy is something we'll build together over time, and I'll be here to guide you at a pace that feels right for you.
