ABOUT ME

Greetings! My name is Rob Aguilar, and I'm a seasoned professional in the realms of Marriage and Family Therapy as well as Sex Therapy. It's not uncommon to experience a vague yet persistent sense of discomfort and unease. Many, myself included, often grapple with feelings of being trapped, worthless, or devoid of energy, accompanied by a nagging uncertainty about our identity. This state of malaise, an oppressive weight in our chest or gut, doesn't discriminate based on gender, age, or identity – whether you're male, female, non-binary, a teenager, or well into your golden years.
In my practice, I've had the privilege of aiding individuals facing a broad spectrum of mental health challenges – from anxiety and depression to more complex issues like psychosis, PTSD, and various adjustment disorders. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a deep sense of wonder. I firmly believe in a judgment-free environment, understanding that you are the foremost expert on your life and experiences. Each client I meet is treated as a unique individual, deserving of an open-hearted and open-minded approach. Regardless of the specific challenges you face, you are valued and worthy of the finest care available.
With life experiences spanning my 20s to 50s, including over 25 years of marriage and the journey of raising children, I have a personal understanding of life's joys and tribulations. Life is indeed complex and messy, and that's precisely why I'm passionate about my work.
Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or have previous experience, I'm thrilled you're here. I am committed to accompanying you on this journey, every step of the way. Feel free to explore the site to see if anything speaks to you. More information about my background and approach is available for your perusal. Should you have further inquiries or wish to arrange a meeting, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at 661-347-6137. Your journey towards healing and self-discovery is just a conversation away.
