Hi! I’m María José Rosales, a clinical psychologist. I support children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking to ease emotional distress, reconnect with themselves and others, transform their relationships, and build a fuller, more mindful life focused on individual, couple, or family well-being.
My training is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), but I also integrate tools from various therapeutic approaches, always tailoring my work to the unique needs of each person. I deeply believe in flexibility, in seeing each person as someone unique, and in building a path toward well-being together.
Additionally, I incorporate practices such as meditation and mindfulness, which help express emotions, reconnect with the body, and develop greater self-awareness.
To me, every person is unique, and every story deserves respectful, flexible, and open support. I genuinely care about your emotional, physical, and relational well-being, so I’m committed to offering you a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and progress at your own pace.
¿Who Do I Work With in Therapy?
My professional work allows me to support diverse populations in their processes of change and transformation. These are some of the groups I work with:
Children
Adolescents
Adults
Couples and Families
How I Support You in Therapy
In therapy, my priority is to create a space of:
- Trust and emotional support, so you always feel accompanied
- Genuine understanding, seeking to see beyond what you feel or experience
- Personalized adaptation, because every process is different and should fit your needs, timing, and goals
- A real commitment to your well-being, grounded in empathy, humanity, and deep listening
Therapy is much more than solving a specific problem, it’s a space for you to recognize yourself, heal, and reconnect with who you are, your story, and your desire to change.
