Rosalia Badolato, MA, LAPC

Hi, I am a master's-level therapist and a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor who is
passionate about helping individuals feel seen, heard and supported as they navigate life's
challenges. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can be
yourself, explore difficult emotions, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I believe every person has unique strengths, and that therapy is most effective when we work
together collaboratively. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most
important aspects of counseling, and I strive to build genuine connections rooted in trust,
empathy, and respect.
​
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology before completing my Master of Science
in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. I have experience working with adolescents and
adults in both outpatient community mental health and juvenile justice settings. Throughout
my career, I have supported clients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma,
ADHD, emotional regulation, self-esteem, life transitions, and behavioral challenges.
My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based
practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also value the connection between the mind and body,
recognizing that emotional well-being is closely connected to our physical experiences.
I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, body awareness, and practical coping strategies to
help clients better understand themselves, build resilience, 0and create lasting change.
​​
Whether you're navigating a difficult life transition, managing anxiety, developing
healthier coping skills, or simply looking for a space to grow, I'm here to support you.
Together, we can identify your strengths, clarify what matters most to you, and work
toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with your​​​
