Written on Mar 10, 2023 after therapy with Rosita "Rose" for 2 weeks on issues concerning lgbt

Prior to seeking help, I had been having long-term issues with my gender identity, coming out, and feeling like my experiences and feelings weren't valid. She was incredibly helpful in respectfully but efficiently analyzing my history and feelings, providing a (hugely reaffirming) diagnosis, and building my confidence while getting me on the right track to begin my transition.

Finding help for LGBTQIA+ issues can be incredibly scary because there are a lot of mental help professionals out there who can be actively harmful to people in such a vulnerable state. This was a big fear of mine when seeking help, but Dr. Fernandez very quickly established herself as an invaluable ally and source of stability to help me find my feet amidst all my confusion and self-doubt.

Written on Feb 15, 2023 after therapy with Rosita "Rose" for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, career difficulties, and adhd

Written on Feb 12, 2023 after therapy with Rosita "Rose" for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and self esteem

Dr Fernandez has helped me grow as a person so much over the past 7 months. I have been going through some stuff lately (similar to what I was going through last year when I started therapy) and I am able to see how much stronger I am mentally over just a few months. She understands that sometimes I need to just talk about everyday challenges but also get deeper when needed, and she always provides helpful and useful prompts to deal with my issues. I can't recommend Dr Fernandez enough.

Dr Fernandez is a great listener. Definitely could give more feedback into concerns and issues. She typically doesn’t give feedback unless it’s asked for. Otherwise she’s a calming peaceful person. Sessions with her could be more structured though.

Working with Dr. Fernandez has really helped me. I was hesitant to start counseling, and afraid that it would be overwhelming or that I couldn't do it. Dr Fernandez has made it approachable and I feel like I'm really making progress. It's not a magic bullet; these things take time. But I'm 3 months in and I'm feeling like I finally have a healthy way to talk about things, and I have someone who understands me and really listens/provides great perspective. I am learning more about myself and am committed to improving myself, and I feel really motivated to tackle things that have bothered me for years that I was previously afraid to confront alone. Dr. Fernandez has really made a difference.
