Rosario Sandoval

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. I balance empathy with gentle honesty, offer clear feedback, and tailor my approach to each client’s needs while encouraging openness and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’m a social worker with a background in medical care, having completed my undergraduate studies at UCLA and my MSW at Cal State LA. My experience in hospice and dialysis supporting patients through chronic illness and end-of-life care ultimately led me to provide therapy with a compassionate, patient-centered approach.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by building a trusting relationship and working collaboratively to set clear, realistic steps. Using CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, I support skill-building, increase insight, and adjust goals as needed while empowering clients to recognize growth.

Our first session

In our first session together, you can expect a welcoming, low-pressure space where my main goal is to help you feel comfortable rather than to have everything figured out right away. I’ll introduce myself, explain how therapy works, and go over confidentiality, its limits, and a few practical details so you know what to expect from the start.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
