Janet Rodriguez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Janet!

My approach is warm, compassionate, and relational. I create a space where you feel safe, supported, and can be your authentic self while finding humor in life's challenges. I focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, and first/second generation immigrant challenges.

My focus

I work with individuals transitioning to parenthood, focusing on self-confidence and self-compassion, those who experienced family dysfunction, or seeking to understand themselves and break generational trauma. I treat depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, and first/second generation immigrant challenges.

My approach

I believe in the importance of tailoring care to the unique individual. I use an eclectic approach that draws from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including attachment-based, psychodynamic, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic and mindfulness practice, and others.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and transparent. In our sessions, you will feel understood and challenged. It is a combination of your preferred pace and getting the most out of our time together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in therapy began working in schools, where I saw children thrive with family support. As a first-generation Latina, I witnessed mental health stigma. These experiences led me to normalize mental health care, create safe spaces to change dysfunctional patterns, and help people find joy.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process. I want goals to feel realistic, attainable, and unique to you!

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect to understand the therapeutic process, have your questions answered, and discuss what you want from therapy. You'll have the opportunity to decide if we are a match. Part of the magic in therapy is feeling safe and connected with your therapist.
