Rosana has experience working with clients across a broad array of settings, including psychiatric in-patient centers, medical integration, physical health and addiction services related hospitals, community counseling centers, outpatient substance abuse treatment, mental health clinics, and crisis intervention in both Puerto Rico and Massachusetts. Rosana enjoys working with both individuals and couples and sees adolescent, adult, and elderly patients. She is passionate about helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem and self-image, cultural diversity, addiction (both substance abuse and eating-related concerns), grief, pre/post-surgery bariatric assessment and treatment, and trauma. Rosana is fluent in both Spanish and English, which facilitates her goal to provide culturally and language-sensitive treatment to clients from Spanish-speaking populations. Her approach to therapy encompasses several modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and trauma-focused CBT. Her primary objective in working with patients is to provide a non-judgmental environment that facilitates the client increasing emotional effectiveness, self-respect and overall quality of life. During her spare time, Rosana enjoys cultivating her spiritual wellness through community relationships. She enjoys the peace of silence and contemplating nature. She is passionate about her roots and connecting with different cultures.
