Rosana Ascanio

Individual, Marriage & Family Therapist
LMFT, LPC

My focus as a bilingual English-Spanish therapist is to help you overcome psychological barriers in order to feel more confident, empowered and at ease with yourself. With compassion and expertise, I can teach you how to cope during times of stress, manage anxiety and improve your mood. Together, we will collaborate on setting realistic goals that can change your behavior, improve your relationships and bring greater satisfaction into your life.

I am warm, inviting and intuitive and will provide you with a safe place to explore your inner thoughts and feelings. My therapeutic orientation draws on solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, multicultural,mindfulness, trauma informed care, Gottman method, supportive therapy and coaching.

In addition to my psychological training, I am a long life athlete and Certified Personal Trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Originally, from Venezuela, I have a specialty in working with interracial couples and immigrant families. I am bilingual and understand navigating bi-cultural norms around lifestyle choices.
