Katherine Box, LCSW
Therapy is a journey toward healing at a time in your life when you may be seeking change, consultation or guidance to manage this change. The desire for this change may come from experiences created by choices from yourself, others or circumstances beyond your control. My approach views therapy not just as treatment, but as an essential journey across all aspects of life. In this process, I see my role as providing focused teaching, guidance, and expert consultation to help you gain insight, reprocess experiences, and build skills for lasting resilience and growth. I look forward to meeting you!

Gloria Rodriguez, LMFT
I am a passionate therapist aware of some of the difficulties experienced by underserved communities. I know the importance of exteriorizing feelings to better manage or better cope with them. I engage in problem-solving by giving clients the tools they can use at a given time on their "own". I apply CBT, IPT and Humanistic approaches to meet clients where they are. Holistic approaches are also used to obtain more realistic progress. It is important to tell your own narrative from your point of view to gain validation and empowerment.
