I knew of Dr. Julio Rojas years before meeting him. I heard, in my conversations with our shared patients, about his wisdom, his encouraging energy, and consistent support for them and their families as they moved toward sobriety. After meeting Dr. Rojas, I too, became an admirer of his gifts. Not only as a professional, but as a human being. When a traumatic event occurred in my life Julio was there to offer his years of calm expertise and direction. He was never too busy for me as I struggled through my discomfort. Now, that I have moved through the pain to the other side, there is no doubt that Julio is a major part of my post traumatic growth. I am grateful to call him my friend. G Pace
I have sat across from numerous counselors, psychiatrists, and psychologists for my alcoholism and drug addiction in the past, but there were none as good as Dr. Rojas! He saw right through me, and we began to work together to help me get better and remain sober. When he realized I needed another type of therapy (EMDR) he sent me in that direction. I have recommended family and friends to him because I know they will not be wasting their money or time and he will help them get better. I am in the medical field, and I would not recommend patients to someone who could not help them with their physical needs, so when I want someone to have the best mental health/psychological care, I would highly recommend Dr. Rojas.

Dr. Julio Rojas has guided my journey from addiction and trauma to a life of new possibilities. He has helped me work through lifelong resentments, fears and uncertainties. I came to him late in life with little in the way of expectations. All I knew was that I needed help and felt pretty hopeless. With Dr. Rojas’ compassionate guidance I now live with peace and kindness and a heart for others. This is a new path for an old man. Julio helped my find my way to a life with direction, dependence and peace. I am grateful….
I was referred to Dr. Rojas for counseling after going to an intensive outpatient facility in Lawrence, Kansas which was a spectacular failure. I was the proverbial square peg that the staff there unsuccessfully tried to pound into the round hole. The experience caused someone with a history of childhood psychological trauma and a predilection toward reclusiveness and mistrust as I did to withdraw completely. I was perfectly insulated—even from clinicians who were putatively helping me—which was the last thing in the world that I needed. I was regressing fast. That is how I arrived at Dr. Rojas’ door. He had his work cut out for him! I was there against my will justifying it to myself that going to him was the least noxious of a list of unpalatable choices. Due to the horrible experience, I had in Kansas, where I at no time felt that anyone was truly trying to help me, I did not trust him or anyone else with a psych degree. I was there only because I had to be, or somewhere else, if I wanted to get back to practice which I was not certain that I did. The first few sessions were arduous and slow. I was wary but over time a rapport was built that allowed me to safely explore issues in both my distant and recent past that led to my referral to him in the first place. He examined the reason for the referral and then after collecting the clinical data through interview and fact-check, arrived at a diagnosis and far more importantly collaborated with me on a plan to get my life (back). I did not need someone to fix me. I needed someone to help me fix myself. Dr. Rojas gave me the latitude to do exactly that. There were bumps along the way. There always will be in the field he practices. However, at no time did I doubt that he was trying to help me even if the metaphorical medicine I had to take was bitter. I’m a clinician too. Therefore, In the final analysis, it comes down to success or failure. I would submit that I have been an unqualified success. In the beginning, I was prepared to be a dismal failure. The reason I was successful was Dr. Rojas’ open mindedness and diagnostic skill to find the square hole that I fit rather than a bigger hammer to continue to pound the square peg with. I’m not one for superlatives and have been told that I am annoyingly difficult to impress. Dr. Rojas helped me re-establish myself in a career I learned to love again and that is not the biggest debt of gratitude that I owe him. There is a world of fascinating people that I now choose to interact with that I completely missed before we met. It worked! Therefore, without reservation, I would recommend Julio Rojas to anyone in need of counseling or therapy.
Invaluable! Dr. Rojas' knowledge, experience and care that he devotes to his patients are true gifts. Neal Nordlinger, Founder, inCrisis Consultants
My wife and I are both medical professionals in central Oklahoma. Through mutual colleagues and friends, we have become familiar with some of Dr. Rojas’ impressive work with the OU Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. On a more personal level, we have a great deal of respect for his outstanding lectures and advice to the “Parents Helping Parents” support group. His knowledge of substance use disorders and recovery is extensive.
Our daughter, who has a long history of “treatment resistant depression,” was recently referred to Dr. Rojas for comprehensive psychological testing and evaluation. Since elementary school, she has been treated by psychiatrists with various antidepressant medications and counseling, with mostly limited success. After Dr. Rojas’ extensive testing, interviews and discussions with her previous medical providers, we were surprised to learn that her primary diagnosis was not “treatment resistant depression” at all. She was found to have a fairly uncommon personality disorder that can mimic depression and is often unresponsive to medication.
Dr. Rojas’ diagnosis was very enlightening and has already led to significant changes in our daughter’s treatment plan. His approach and insights have given all of our family significant hope and optimism for the future. We have always had high regard for Dr. Rojas’ work with persons who suffer with substance use disorders. However, his recent work with our daughter (who has no history of substance use of any kind) has reinforced the immense value of competent and complete psychological assessment for a wide range of psychological conditions. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rojas to anyone who would like to find the missing pieces to their, or a loved one’s, puzzle. Thank you, Dr. Rojas.
