About

Welcome! It’s a pleasure to have you hear! ¡Bienvenidos! ¡Es un placer tenerte aquí!


Rocio is a therapist in Chandler, AZ. She is passionate about supporting individuals from all walks of life through their unique journeys of growth and healing. Rocio bring's warmth, honesty, and a down-to-earth presence to every session. She strives to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for her clients to explore their challenges, feelings and barriers. My approach is rooted in empathy, where every individual’s story is heard and valued. I offer a judgment-free environment where you can explore your thoughts, and experiences openly. I believe in bringing a lighthearted, creative approach to the process, allowing us to explore challenging topics in a way that feels engaging and accessible. Whether it's through creative exercises, humor, or simply taking a moment to appreciate small victories along the way.


Together, we’ll work toward building healthier habits and a deeper sense of healing, growth, self-understanding and move toward the healing and the growth you deserve. I truly believe healing is possible—and you deserve support on your journey.


​Approach


I strive for our time together to be a place where you show up as you fully are. Working with me, you will receive an approach that feels collaborative, creative and tailored to you. As a proud Latina and bilingual therapist, I draw on my own life experiences to foster an inclusive and culturally aware environment. I strive to provide compassionate care that respects and honors the diverse backgrounds of all my clients.


I work with individuals and couples dealing with life stressors. Whether you’re navigating challenges in your career, academics, family dynamics, relationship issues, or you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma. My approach is focused on guiding you to build a deeper understanding of yourself, f and patterns with the goal of deepening your understanding of self and creating positive change in your life.


I use evidence-based approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you gain insight, develop effective coping tools, find balance, self-acceptance and promote meaningful change. Through our work together I hope to help you build a life that feels authentic, empowered, and emotionally rich.


I’ll meet you where you are, with kindness, hope, and respect. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.


Specialty Training and Experience

​

I hold my Master of Social work from Aurora University in Illinois. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in family child studies from Northern Illinois University. I have 10+ years of progressive experience in therapeutic services, trauma-informed care, and collaborative team leadership across correctional, outpatient, and community-based settings. I am EMDR trained. I have a deep passion for EMDR therapy and believe it can be a powerful tool for healing. At some point, we all encounter trauma—big or small—and if left unaddressed, it can continue to weigh us down. My goal is to help you process, overcome, and heal from those experiences so you can move forward with freedom and strength. Through my education and my own life experiences I have developed a deep commitment to empowering diverse populations through advocacy, client-centered treatment, and culturally competent care. To offer the highest standard of care, I consistently stay current with emerging research and innovative techniques


​Personal Life​


Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, family, and friends. My husband and I relocated from Illinois to Arizona three years ago. We are food enthusiasts who enjoy trying new restaurants, hiking, and traveling whenever we can. I also have a deep appreciation for music and find joy in the simple moments of life, such as being with my family. I love exploring Arizona, including taking my niece and nephews to discover new places.
