Juan Rodriguez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Juan!

I strive to create an inclusive and safer space where you can begin or continue your healing journey. I understand the courage it takes to reach out and address difficult mental health topics. I am grateful you are here, and I will be in your corner every step of the way.

My focus

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or paralyzed in your day-to-day life? Do you feel a sense of heaviness in your body, mind, or spirit that you cannot shake off? Anxiety, depression, or past traumas can create these sensations and bring difficulties. You are not alone, and this does not have to be your reality.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, where I prioritize understanding your unique experiences and goals to collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. I focus on using evidence-based therapies to address anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, family concerns, and relationship dynamics.

My communication style

My communication style is collaborative, attentive, and curious. I focus on validating your experience while asking open-ended questions to explore and develop a better understanding. I practice active listening and help create a conversation where you can begin developing a different perspective and gaining essential tools.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping people. As I became more aware of social justice issues and disparities, I decided to become a social worker. I see it as an honor to be part of your healing journey.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaboration. Together, we will discuss what is important to you and begin developing goals that align with what you want to achieve. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it is always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

During our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy and the areas you want to work on. It is completely normal to feel nervous, and I want to acknowledge and validate that. I create a warm and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable sharing. I meet you where you are and adapt to your pace of comfort.
