Clinical Services
Psychotherapy
Dr. Rojas specializes in working with executives, finance professionals, entrepreneurs, attorneys, physicians, creatives, and other high-achieving individuals navigating the psychological demands of ambitious careers and lives.
Clients often seek therapy for perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, difficulty disconnecting from work, relationship concerns, life transitions, or a persistent feeling that they should be doing more. The qualities that contribute to success can be tremendous strengths. At times, however, these same qualities can contribute to anxiety, self-criticism, overthinking, difficulty slowing down, or strain in relationships.
Dr. Rojas' clinical style is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to each client's needs. Her work is informed by psychodynamic theory and incorporates cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients better understand the patterns underlying both their success and their distress.
The goal is not to become less ambitious, but to develop greater flexibility, fulfillment, and well-being alongside achievement.
