About
I am Rosina Roibal
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oakland, CA. I have practiced as a psychotherapist since 2016 and became licensed in 2019. I received my master's degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco in the Expressive Arts Therapy program.
​​
I have experience working with children, teens, and adults individually, as conjoint/couples, families, and groups.
​
I identify as cis-gendered, LGBTQI, and bi-racial (Chicana and white). I have a lived experience. I have a life-long commitment to social justice, equity, and undoing racism, and I work towards cultural humility and sensitivity. I have worked mostly with folks from marginalized and disenfranchised communities (BIPOC & LGBTQI). I am sex-positive and affirming of Consensual Non-Monogamy and kink.

My approach
My approach and how I work with you
​I care deeply about my clients. I see your strengths and beauty, even in your shadows. I often can relate to your experience and challenges, and empathize and validate them. Sometimes, that is all we need...for someone to listen and feel our pain. My job is to also help you safely feel your feelings. This is how we heal and grow. Often, it's not emotionally safe to feel our feelings, especially because of trauma. I help you identify ways to regulate and calm. I also work relationally...noticing what happens, helping you regulate, and giving you a new experience. People tend to feel safe and seen with me. I'm engaged and interactive.
