I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 10 years of experience in the field, 6 of those providing one-on-one therapy or group therapy. I have worked in many settings, including inpatient treatment centers for the severely mentally ill, incarceration facilities, drug treatment, and outpatient treatment for children and families.

Hi, my name is Romy Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My first job in the field was Crisis and I loved every single aspect of it. I have also worked The Village where I was in charge of the PPW (Post-Partum) program where I provided individual and case management services to women in the court system.

My practice specializes in working with children, adolescents, domestic violence victims and survivors, and individuals with childhood trauma.

My goal is to assist my clients in tackling feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, emotional pain, shame, insecurity, trauma, and depression, symptoms I find to be causing much of today's life struggles.

Yung Pueblo, one of my favorite writers says, "Personal transformation is not easy. Healing yourself takes time. Letting go can sometimes feel overwhelming. Building new habits can seem like an uphill battle. Even with all of these challenges inner-work is worth it. This active form of self-love can radically change your life." Growth isn't just about being in full bloom; it's the process by which you get there... and how you continue to thrive after all the messiness from that growth. But often, you can't do this alone or without the right tools, support, and encouragement. That's what I'm here to help you with.
