Rita Del Toro

Rita Del Toro

Therapist

Virtual • Palm Desert, CA


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples across a wide range of settings, including dual diagnosis programs, residential treatment centers, county behavioral health clinics, and law-enforcement–affiliated crisis response teams.

My work alongside multiple police departments, providing crisis intervention in high-stress and high-risk situations, has shaped my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and effective even during life’s most overwhelming moments. I bring that same calm and steady presence into the therapy room.

I earned a Masters degree in Clinical psychology in 2014 from Antioch University Los Angeles. I have since enjoyed working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. The areas that I hold the most experience in within my clinical work, are women's issues, relationships, issues in adolescence and individuals and families dealing with autism and other disorders. I believe a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on respect, trust, and honesty creates a healthy open space for people to grow.
