About

Dr. Valerie Rock is a  licensed clinical psychologist practicing in La Jolla, California.  Her  awareness in the interest of helping others became clear after working  in a shelter for domestic violence while attending undergraduate  classes. She saw the need for professionals to intervene when  individuals were unable to help themselves.  After attending  undergraduate classes at Cornell University and receiving her bachelor's  degree in Psychology at New Mexico State University, she pursued  graduate studies at California School of Professional Psychology.  She  received a Master's and Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology with an  emphasis in children and families.  Dr. Rock enjoys spending time with  family/dog, running, yoga, watching sports and traveling. 

Building Resiliency

The most important thing is emotional well being

Everyday stressors can become overwhelming and sometimes debilitating.

Managing  work, family responsibilities, caring for children, finances, and  interpersonal relationships can be exhausting and difficult to navigate.  When life is out of balance, it can affect your psychological and  physical health.  Building strength and resiliency to cope with these  factors can be achieved through psychotherapy.  You can learn to improve  the quality of everyday life by confronting challenges with realistic  strategies, an optimistic outlook and meaningful relationships.  Getting help to find balance is now seen as a sign of resourcefulness.​
