Rogeline Amo

Rogeline Amo

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello :) My name is Rogeline and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. My clinical work has been deeply shaped by my time in hospice care, where I earned a certification in bereavement facilitation and supported clients through grief, loss, end-of-life transitions, and emotional healing. These experiences strengthened my belief in the human capacity for resilience and inform the compassionate, grounded presence I bring into every session.

I have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, identity-related concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and overwhelming stressors. I’m passionate about helping clients who feel stuck, unheard, or overwhelmed reconnect with themselves and move toward stability and hope.

I serve clients across California through Empowered Path Clinical Counseling, a practice committed to providing inclusive, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and affirming care, especially for communities who have often been silenced or unsupported. My work integrates evidence-based modalities with a warm, collaborative style that honors each client’s lived experience and personal strengths.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Finding the right therapist in California starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, it helps to find a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation. California-licensed therapists include LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

California is one of the most expensive states for mental health care, which makes using your insurance one of the most practical ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to confirm coverage and see an estimated session cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.

With providers available across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and throughout the state, you can browse therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can review detailed bios, check real-time availability, and book directly.
