Maritza Rodriguez

My communication style

My communication style is warm, calm, and supportive. I communicate with children in a developmentally appropriate and engaging way, while partnering with caregivers in a clear, compassionate, and collaborative manner.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work through a passion for supporting children and families during difficult seasons. My background in social work and mental health showed me how powerful early support can be, and led me to private practice, where I provide compassionate, child-centered care tailored to each family.

My goals for you

I work with children and caregivers to identify concerns, build on strengths, and set meaningful, realistic goals. Treatment is tailored to each child’s developmental needs and may include play-based activities, coping skills, emotional expression, problem-solving, and caregiver support.

Our first session

The first session is a chance to learn about your child, your concerns, and your family’s strengths and needs. I gather background information, ask questions about what is bringing you in, and explain the therapy process so you feel supported, comfortable, and clear about next steps.
