Dr. Cathy Rojas believes therapy can offer a supportive space to better understand ourselves, our relationships, and the patterns that shape our experiences. Her approach is grounded in interpersonal theory and feminist principles, with a focus on helping clients explore their inner world and relationships without fear of judgment. She values collaboration and transparency in therapy, recognizing that emotional distress is often influenced by societal expectations, oppression, and power dynamics.

Dr. Rojas takes an insight-oriented, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients better understand themselves and their interpersonal patterns while working toward meaningful change. She works with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions. She also has extensive experience supporting individuals with eating disorders and college students of all ages navigating academic, personal, and relational stressors. Her therapeutic style is empathic, transparent, and warm, with a touch of humor, and she often takes a less structured approach that allows clients to lead when they feel comfortable.

Outside of work, Dr. Rojas enjoys competitive powerlifting, caring for houseplants, and spending time with her husband and their border collie.
