My approach is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity and compassion. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen,heard and understood.

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.
