Rocio Mercado-Rosas

My communication style

My communication style is calm, inclusive, and playful when appropriate. I prioritize your background, experiences, and values to set meaningful treatment goals. Communication is key to feeling safe and understood in therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personal background and values inspire my work as a therapist. I recognize how everyone's history shapes who they are and how they respond to life's situations. I'm passionate about supporting those facing childhood challenges, processing trauma, creating healthy communication habits, and managing anxiety and depression.

My goals for you

Every treatment goal is created to meet your expressed concerns. We work as a team to help you reach your goals. Through strength-based approaches, I empower you to reflect on your emotions and utilize learned skills in your daily life, outside of our sessions.

Our first session

With adults, I build connection by reviewing your goals and expectations of therapy. I consider your values to create a safe environment where we review your symptoms, medical and family history. With children and teens, after assessment, I dedicate the first session to getting to know one another through an icebreaker activity to build trust.
