Introduction:
Hello. My name is Dr. Norma Rosales. I am a first-generation Latina Christian woman. I have had the privilege of working as a mental health therapist for over 24 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families to help them achieve their mental health goals. Helping my clients grow, heal from trauma, and find solutions to their challenges has been a fulfilling journey.
Background:
I have extensive training in therapeutic approaches, including Strength-Based, Solution-Focused, and Faith-Based methodologies. My education and certifications have allowed me to support clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate life’s complexities with a tailored approach that respects their unique cultural and personal experiences.
Passion for Therapy:
What led me to therapy was a deep desire to help others gain clarity and emotional well-being. Over the years, I’ve witnessed how therapy can transform lives, which keeps me motivated daily. I find it incredibly rewarding to walk alongside my clients as they discover their own strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve mental clarity.
Therapy Style:
In my practice, I use a Strength-Based and Solution-Focused approach, always highlighting the inherent strengths that my clients bring with them. I also incorporate Faith-Based elements for those who find spiritual guidance important in their healing process. I believe in the power of empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their struggles and challenges.
Philosophy:
My philosophy is simple: Therapy is a collaborative journey. I believe each person can grow and overcome difficulties, and my role is to guide them in finding their path to mental health. What sets my approach apart is the integration of cultural sensitivity, empathy, and personalized care. I honor each client’s unique experiences while promoting mental clarity and a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
Personal Touch:
One of the most powerful moments in therapy is seeing clients reach their “aha” moment—when things finally click, and they realize that change is possible and within their reach. I strive to assist each client to reach that point in their life.
