Yessenia Rojas, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yessenia!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing substance use, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. My goal is to help you build positive coping skills and insight in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

My focus

I work with a diverse population across cultures and age ranges, including children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience supporting clients with substance use, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is strength-based, decreasing mental health symptoms by building positive coping skills and insight. We'll identify your strengths and create sustainable strategies that support your goals and help you navigate challenges with confidence.

My communication style

My goal is for you to feel comfortable in a nonjudgmental space. I hope you feel heard and supported through my calm approach, where you can openly share what's on your mind.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career in the criminal justice system and furthered my passion to help others. I bring a wide range of personal, work, and educational experiences that allow me to understand and empathize with many issues troubling my clients. I believe that through compassion and the right support, individuals can reach long-term positive changes.

My goals for you

My approach is strength-based to empower you. We'll work together to identify your strengths and build on them, creating sustainable strategies that support your goals and help you navigate challenges with confidence.

Our first session

Expect a therapist who is nonjudgmental and open-minded, ready to listen. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin building a collaborative relationship where you feel heard and supported.
