Nora Rosales, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #20398 (bilingual)
Hi, I’m Nora! I’m a bilingual therapist rooted in faith and the proud daughter of immigrants. I specialize in supporting first-generation individuals, college students, and eldest daughters who have grown up navigating the complex responsibilities of being the go-to person in their families—often translating, guiding, and carrying more than most their age.
My approach is client-centered, culturally aware, and grounded in both empathy and clinical insight. I draw from existential therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while recognizing that healing is never one-size-fits-all. I meet each client where they are, integrating modalities to fit their unique experiences and needs.
Whether you’re working through anxiety, life transitions, or feeling the weight of expectations, I offer a space where your voice is honored, your faith is welcomed, and your story matters. I’m currently accepting virtual clients across California for individual counseling.
To connect, you can reach me at nrosalespcc@gmail.com!
Joshua Hernandez, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #19819 (bilingual)
Joshua Hernandez, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #19819 (supervised by Sean Tobin PSY #33387), specializes in supporting individuals carrying the weight of complex trauma, anxiety, and the often-unseen toll of caregiving or high expectations. He works with adolescents through older adults who have experienced layered emotional pain—shaped by cultural norms, demanding roles, or silent struggles. His clients come from diverse backgrounds and include survivors of abuse, those navigating life transitions or unhealthy family dynamics, and high achievers who appear strong outwardly while quietly carrying emotional burdens.
With experience in church ministries, free clinics, and nonprofits serving families, immigrants, and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, Joshua brings both clinical skill and a deep respect for the human spirit. His therapeutic approach draws on evidence-based practices—such as trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy—while offering a grounded, compassionate space for authentic healing. Clients often share that they feel safe and free to be themselves with him—no masks, no pressure to perform, just room to heal.
Rooted in a Catholic understanding of the human person, Joshua views every individual as inherently dignified, relational, and made for connection—whether or not faith is part of their journey. His work is marked by reverence, patience, and a deep belief in each client’s capacity to heal and flourish.
If you’re ready to take meaningful steps toward emotional clarity, deeper connection, and renewed strength, Joshua invites you to reach out. Healing isn’t passive—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Danielle Enriquez, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #152199
My name is Danielle Enriquez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #152199. I attended Loma Linda University for my MS in Marital and Family Therapy, and I graduated in June of 2021. I am passionate about helping those who struggle with anxiety-related disorders. I utilize a combination of modalities to help you change the relationship that you have with your symptoms: acceptance, compassion, flexibility, and faith to name a few.
In 1 Peter 5:7, scripture asserts that we can give God our worries because He cares about us – let that sink in! When I am not learning about different therapeutic interventions, you can find me learning about our beautiful Catholic faith, teaching RCIA, playing with my dog, or hanging out with my family and friends.
If you find yourself struggling with anxious and overwhelming thoughts, I hope to talk with you soon. You can reach me at danielle.enriquez.a@gmail.com. At the end of the day, you are God’s beloved, and you are much braver than you realize!

Luis Lopez, Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #147456
Luis is open and willing to work with any individual problem or issue. He specializes in working with individuals who struggle with shame, anxiety, depression, meaninglessness, addiction, and trauma. As a youth minister, Luis has tremendous experience working with teens. He also enjoys working with couples: holy matrimony reveals God’s sacramental love for us and Luis finds joy in helping couples recenter their relationship on this truth.
Although Luis’ therapeutic approach incorporates a variety of modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy or psychodynamic approaches, he often conceptualizes individuals under an internal family systems or “parts-work” approach. Essentially, Luis helps individuals find their inmost self—the inmost self is the core of the human person as made in the image of God. A person attuned to their inmost self is better able to regulate and heal their wounded (or traumatized, addicted, & anxious) parts which prevent us from fully actualizing our image of God identity.
Luis’ Catholic faith is very important to him and he is interested in helping others find the healing they need. To schedule an appointment with Luis please call him at (714)725-8238, or send him an email at lui97lopez@gmail.com.
