Our Story

Josie Rosario, LMSW, MSEd, RYT

Founder

A few years ago, I left the therapy space and thought I’d never return.

Aside from own painful experiences in the field, I was disillusioned by a system that claimed to heal but often perpetuated harm. I also couldn't see a way to practice with the spiritual integrity my lineage demanded of me.

As a descendant of healers in the 21 Divisiones tradition, I knew there was more to transformation than what traditional therapy offered, but I didn't have a roadmap for integration.

I thought I'd leave and redirect my training toward non-clinical healing work, but Spirit had other plans.

Turns out that those years away became the deepest initiation of my life, a personal and sacred unraveling that prepared me for the next iteration of my calling.

In fact, I was called me back to clinical work right as Pluto entered Aquarius, signaling a major cosmic shift toward revolutionary healing and collective transformation.

That’s when it clicked - unlike my first couple of years as a therapist, now I had the blueprint, spiritual maturity and embodied conviction to practice in the most integrated, authentic way.

Venus+Legacy was birthed from that initiation.

It’s a space where therapy and spirituality don't just tolerate each other, but dance together in right relationship, and in service of healing that transforms lineages and creates new legacies.

Guiding Principles

Integrity: We only walk you down paths we've traveled ourselves. You can't be led somewhere your guide hasn't been. This is why we focus ruthlessly on what we do and know best. For us, integrity means saying no to work that isn't ours so we can say yes to going deep where it matters.

Both/And Perspective. We refuse false binaries. Instead we focus on intersections: the spiritual and clinical. Individual and systemic. Ancient wisdom and contemporary practice. Healing requires holding complexity and nuance.

You Always Know. You already have a deep knowing that lives in your body, dreams, and the moments of clarity you've been taught to dismiss. Healing is less about learning something new and more about remembering what’s true. We create the conditions for you to journey back to that knowing .

Relationships are Everything. Relationships aren't just what we work on, they're the fundamental truth about how healing happens, how we exist, and how we become whole. Everything flows from and returns to connection.

Commitments In Action

  • We believe therapy should be financially sustainable. We also believe therapists provide better care when they are well-resourced, and should be compensated appropriately for the life-changing value they provide.

    We acknowledge that the systems we live within often make these values feel mutually exclusive, requiring intentional and innovative approaches to care. In holding these multiple truths and recognizing that singular solutions can't fix systemic challenges, we've made the following commitments:

    • 20% of all clinicians' caseloads are reserved for reduced fees ALWAYS

    • Fee ceilings so you're not worried about surprise increases in the future

    • Consistent rates across our team. We hire for exceptional talent and effectiveness rather than credentials or tenure, so there are no hierarchy in rates

  • We keep caseloads intentionally small. Instead of managing 20+ clients per week, our practitioners are going deep with fewer people. This means more presence, nuance, and capacity to hold what's actually happening in the room.

    We hire for embodied wisdom and clinical excellence, not just credentials or tenure. We hire therapists who've done their own work, practice what they teach, and can hold complexity without collapsing into certainty. For us, quality over quantity, always.

  • The Legacy Fund for Families provides low-to-no cost relational therapy for those of the global majority. It is our approach to redistribution and repair. We recognize that wealth accumulation has always been relational, extracted and built on the backs of others, so healing access should be relational too.

    The Legacy Fund is supported by grants and community investment, with a percentage of Venus+Legacy's revenue contributing to its sustainability.

    Beyond the fund, collective care shows up in how we resource other practitioners doing integrated work. Through our therapist development programs, we share knowledge rather than hoard it, building networks of spiritually-grounded clinicians who can hold complexity and serve their communities with integrity.
