Immigration, Identity, Motherhood & Healing with Rosa Casquino

Rosa Casquino shares her journey from growing up an undocumented immigrant and surviving childhood trauma to becoming a licensed clinical social worker, mother, and advocate. She opens up about resilience, healing, and the spiritual and therapeutic tools that helped her and that she uses to help others, including EMDR, internal family systems, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. 

Rosa’s story is a powerful reminder of what it means to rise and reclaim one's identity, voice, and purpose.

• Therapy modalities like EMDR and psychedelic-assisted treatment can access and heal deep trauma.
• Immigrant experiences are layered with sacrifice, loss, and strength — and deserve more awareness and support.
• Healing from trauma is a lifelong journey, best undertaken with compassion, self-awareness, and community.
• Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported — including in their gender and sexual identities.
• Spirituality can be a powerful anchor for healing — separate from dogma or institutional religion.
