Fred Rodriguez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Fred!

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or down sometimes? Well, I'm here to help you navigate through any challenges that you may encounter throughout life. My job is to give you a safe space to vent, grow, and become resilient so you can be more confident, grounded, and empowered!

My focus

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma, I can help! I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults to help them navigate difficult situations, identify triggers, and equip them with the resources and tools necessary to become resilient and overcome adversity.

My approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy to assist people in identifying and reframing negative thoughts. I also utilize the community resiliency model to implement grounding during sessions, as well as give you the resources to utilize on your own as well.

My communication style

I believe that open and clear communication creates a safe environment that helps best understand and support you. I employ reflective listening to ensure we are on the same page and provide empathetic communication. I'm very calm and like to take pauses to allow time for reflection as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was interested in helping others and making a positive impact on people's lives. Over time, I have seen the positive effects that therapy can have on people and would like to continue making a meaningful impact on others. I believe everyone can become resilient, grow, and learn how to navigate through any challenges that may arise.

My goals for you

I like to allow each person to be the expert on themselves. They can tell me what they would like to work on, and we can collaboratively set goals. My job is to support you in reaching the goals set, as well as shift and set new goals whenever we find that some goals aren't applicable anymore.

Our first session

The first session is pretty relaxed. It's a space for us to get to know more about each other, for me to understand why you are seeking therapy, and to understand how I can best support you. It is normal to be nervous, but little by little, we will get comfortable with each other, and I'll be here to support every step of the journey.
