Andrea Rocha, AMFT

Andrea (she/her) is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #149148) who provides therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and couples through Headlands' San Francisco and Mill Valley offices, as well as via telehealth for clients who reside in California. Her approach is person-centered and relational, rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each client’s unique experiences.

Andrea integrates a variety of therapeutic modalities, with emphasis on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic practices. She is currently training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as Gottman Method training to further enhance her work with couples. Central to Andrea’s work is the belief in the power of exploring one’s relationship to familial and societal norms and expectations, as well as the impact of generational and historical trauma.

Before joining Headlands, Andrea spent over 18 years as a student advocate and educator in the field of higher education. This background gave her a rich foundation in working with diverse populations and creating supportive environments for growth and learning.

In addition to her clinical work, Andrea has been a dedicated yoga teacher since 2016. She completed her 500-hour teacher training in 2018 and has pursued over 100 hours of specialized training in trauma-informed yoga. Since 2019, she has led an eight-week Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY) series for those impacted by interpersonal violence and has taught in multiple studios across San Francisco.
