Hi there, and welcome! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California. I have 10 years experience in counseling individuals, families, couples, and facilitating group therapy. My experience covers a variety of issues including depression and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, loneliness and isolation, grief and loss, issues of aging and older adulthood, and I have helped many people struggling with acute mental illness. I approach each of my clients with sincere curiosity about their life experiences and I have compassion and respect for the courage it takes to be vulnerable in seeking help and personal growth. Building a relationship of trust is important to me and I believe it’s crucial to my clients’ progress. While I tailor my methods to the needs of each unique client, I draw from my experience and training in cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and solution-focused therapies. Taking that first step toward personal growth, improving relationships, and seeking help can be difficult but so rewarding. I would be honored to walk along side you and help in your journey. I look forward to working with you!

23 years offering treatment

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 23 years. Throughout this time, I have supported individuals, couples, and families in achieving their mental health goals. Helping my clients grow, heal from trauma, and find solutions to their challenges has been a fulfilling journey that aligns with my deep commitment to serving others through Christ’s love and compassion. My therapy journey began with a deep desire to help others gain clarity, healing, and emotional well-being. Over the years, I have witnessed the transformational power of therapy and how it allows individuals to discover their God-given strengths. Seeing clients experience hope, healing, and mental clarity reminds me of the biblical truth that through Christ, all things are possible, and every individual has the potential to overcome life’s obstacles. 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 seek spiritual guidance in their healing process, recognizing the power of faith in providing comfort, resilience, and purpose. I believe in empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their struggles and receive Christ-centered hope and encouragement. My philosophy is simple: Therapy is a collaborative journey. I believe that every person can grow and overcome difficulties with Christ’s guidance and healing touch. My role is to walk alongside my clients, helping them find their path to mental health supported by faith and inner strength. What sets my approach apart is the integration of cultural sensitivity, empathy, and personalized care, all while reflecting the love of Christ. I honor each client’s unique experiences and partner with them to promote mental clarity and a balanced, healthy lifestyle rooted in faith. One of the most rewarding moments in therapy is seeing clients reach their “aha” moment—when they realize that change is possible, healing is within reach, and with Christ’s help, they can overcome their challenges. I strive to guide each client toward that moment of breakthrough, providing a space of grace, understanding, and support as they move forward in their journey.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Ross area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person sessions with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Ross due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Ross may not take health insurance, some in the state of California may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of California you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is mental health care and therapy worth it?

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.
