Rosario Aceves, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rosario!

As a Christian therapist, I am honored to walk alongside fellow believers through life's challenges. I integrate biblical principles with evidence-based therapy, creating a compassionate space where faith and healing can grow together. I prayerfully trust God to guide our work and use it for His glory.

My focus

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy while integrating Biblical principles for those seeking Christian counseling. Together, we address life's challenges with compassion, practical tools, and a focus on lasting growth rooted in faith.

My approach

Scripture shows God’s concern for our hearts through the help of the Holy Spirit I help uncover heart issues. While habits can help, lasting transformation comes through heart change, leading to healing, growth, joy, peace, hope, and freedom. I use an eclectic, integrated approach and invite the Holy Spirit's leading.

My communication style

Clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard, valued, and supported. I strive to build a genuine therapeutic relationship that encourages honesty, growth, and hope while gently challenging clients toward meaningful, lasting change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe God called me to walk alongside others during life's most difficult moments. I am driven by a desire to help people find hope, healing, and freedom while integrating evidence-based therapy with Biblical truth for those seeking faith-based counseling.

My goals for you

I believe meaningful goals reflect what matters most to you. Together, we'll identify practical, values-based goals that align with your faith, strengths, and season of life. We'll build practical skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, celebrate progress, and adjust as needed for lasting growth.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll listen to your story, discuss your goals, and begin creating a personalized plan. If you're seeking Christian counseling, we'll also discuss how you'd like your faith to be integrated into our work together.
