Rochell Rodriguez

My communication style

I try to maintain a comforting tone and an open environment for my clients to be heard and understood, and feel comfortable while sharing their thoughts and feelings with me as their therapist. I ask my clients what their needs are from me and what they feel they need from me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been in therapy in and out of my whole life. One of my therapists helped me, and I wanted to do the same for others. My client's success is what drives me. Seeing clients transform and do the work to heal and become functioning, healthier individuals is what rewards and drives me.

My goals for you

I inquire about what brings them to therapy and what they would like to work on or towards, and base their goals on these ideas.

Our first session

The first session explains how therapy will go, what their expectations are, reviews limits of confidentiality and that I am a mandated reporter (what that means), assesses for anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc, and if time permits, starts a mini autobiography of the client's childhood, relationships, school, friends, trauma, etc.
