About Rosa
Rosa Shetty is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people recover from complex childhood trauma and sexual abuse. She speaks English and Spanish, and brings 17 years of experience to sessions with adults seeking healing and clearer sense of self.
Rosa focuses on trauma and abuse, and she also helps people who are coping with attachment concerns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, questions about life purpose, and building self-love.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to safety and pacing so people can move at their own speed. In session Rosa uses research-based approaches to trauma recovery. She adapts techniques to match each person’s needs and comfort.
She aims to help clients notice how past experiences affect present relationships and daily life, then practice new ways of responding. Rosa has worked in trauma healing since 2007 and brings practical experience across many recovery methods. Her work emphasizes gradual progress, skills people can use outside of sessions, and rebuilding a sense of agency after harm.
People who choose Rosa often want an experienced guide who speaks plainly and can explain options in English or Spanish. She practices in California as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and supports people seeking sustained healing and clearer life direction.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Rosa uses a few research-based trauma recovery approaches in her work. One approach focuses on processing past traumatic memories while helping the body and mind settle into calmer states; it is often used for complex childhood trauma and post-traumatic stress. Another approach addresses internal parts and self-relationships to reduce shame and build self-compassion; this helps people shift how they relate to painful memories and inner critics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosa collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match goals, needs, and comfort level. She explains options clearly and adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan fits the person rather than the person fitting a method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and quick skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and access steady support from licensed professionals.
