Together we can make it better. We're here for you.
Rosalinda Barajas-Calkins, PsyD. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! Most of my clients and co-workers refer to me as “Dr. B”. I earned my doctorate degree in Clinical-Community Psychology from the University of La Verne and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I chose to be a clinical psychologist in order to have the privilege of working with people on improving their mental health, thereby having a positive impact on their lives. My professional experience working in school, hospital, community mental health, and in-home settings has provided me the opportunity to work with young people, adults, families, and couples on a variety of issues, including: anxiety management, parenting, bullying, low self-esteem, phase of life events, grief and loss, infertility, and difficulties in relationships. My approach in treatment is that of a collaborator, guide, and a support system to clients. First, I work with clients to assess the issue from all angles, taking into consideration their family history, personal factors, life events, and societal influence.
This is a collaborative process which I believe is important in establishing our working relationship as well as getting a comprehensive view of the challenges. I then work to provide interventions in treatment that build awareness, insight, and coping skills to effectively manage and overcome the problem. I act as a guide in facilitating the client’s work in treatment so that the client feels supported and empowered in the process. As a support system, I attempt to provide an environment that is comfortable, encouraging, and adaptable to the client’s needs and capabilities. Overall, my experiences and training have provided me with the knowledge and skills to be effective and practical, while also being sensitive and genuine. It would be my privilege to work with you!
