Erica Rodriguez

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and grounded in empathy. I create a safe, authentic space where you can speak openly and feel truly seen. Rooted in humanistic therapy, I view each person as whole and capable of growth, helping you build self-awareness, authenticity, and empowerment.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a first-generation Latina, my journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in personal experience and commitment to community. With degrees in Sociology, Psychology, MFT, and a Psy.D., I’ve learned how culture and identity shape healing. As a bilingual therapist and professor, I create affirming, humanistic spaces for growth and resilience.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative, humanistic process that honors your unique experiences, values, and culture. Together, we define what healing and growth mean for you, using reflection, cultural awareness, and evidence-based tools. I offer support, honesty, and gentle accountability as we build insight and create lasting change.

Our first session

In our first session, I create a warm, welcoming space to explore what brings you to therapy, your goals, and the experiences that shape you. We’ll get to know each other and ensure the fit feels right, then begin shaping a plan guided by a collaborative, humanistic, and culturally responsive approach.
