He has experience helping clients process and overcome symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, interpersonal struggles, and increase their self esteem. He believes strongly in equality and equity and is happy to work with people of all races, spiritualities, immigration/citizenship statuses, physical abilities, sexual/romantic orientations, and gender identities. Rocco himself is a proud gay man and ally to the trans/non-binary communities.
