Psychologist, PhDDr. Lira de la Rosa works with adults who have been thinking about therapy for some time and want to find ways to improve their overall well-being and mental health. Often, his clients reach out for therapy when they need additional support or would like a safe and supportive space to work through their concerns. Dr. Lira de la Rosa takes his time to understand each client's identity and life experiences. He enjoys helping clients take inventory of what is and what is not working in their lives. He builds upon each client's strengths and helps them find healthier ways of coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use.
He will help clients explore the changes they want to make in their lives and identify what may be getting in the way. At the commencement of treatment, Dr. Lira de la Rosa takes an exploratory approach to get a better sense of each client's past, current concerns, and future aspirations. He also recognizes that sometimes clients find both healthy and unhealthy ways to cope and will take a compassionate approach while each client begins to replace unhealthy coping strategies with healthier skills.
In addition to providing therapy, Dr. Lira has also served as an expert consultant for businesses and organizations and has provided presentations on effective leadership and management, mental health in the workplace, and on impostor syndrome. He has also conducted research on health disparities, racial and ethnic identity development, and on the mental health well-being of LGBTQ individuals and people of color.
