Bilingual Latinx LCSW offering KAP, EMDR & IFS for complex trauma, integrating lived experience with evidence-based care
I'm Rosa Casquino, LCSW a Latinx-bilingual trauma therapist, first-generation Peruvian immigrant, and founder of The Healing Guide Counseling Center in Pasadena, CA. My own story of healing from childhood trauma and navigating life between cultures is at the heart of how I show up for my clients. I specialize in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS/Parts Work), and somatic approaches — integrating these modalities to support deep, lasting healing for complex trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, and immigration-related stress. I work with adults via telehealth throughout California and Nevada, and in-person in Pasadena. I am especially passionate about serving Latinx, BIPOC, immigrant, and LGBTQIA+ communities, bringing both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I also conduct psychological immigration evaluations (U-Visa, VAWA, hardship waivers) and provide training for mental health professionals.
