3530 West Mineral King Avenue, Visalia, CA

When you’re carrying the weight of depression or the constant hum of anxiety, the last thing you need is a clinical lecture. You need a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or the pressure to perform. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the heart of the work. Over my 23 years in practice, I’ve focused on creating a space that is first and foremost human, built on a foundation of genuine connection and trust.

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.
