My name is Romy Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked with various populations with mental health and substance abuse struggles. I also provided Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to adolescents and their families who lived in the shelter and were in the court system. This job is very rewarding and I am blessed to be included in the journey of many wonderful individuals. As a clinician, I value empathy and unconditional positive regard. Each client have different needs and they have a different treatment approach. My approaches are TFCBT and CBT models. These models are used to help each client work towards gaining confidence and a connection with their feelings, trust and peace of mind. Client can expect a collaborative process and empowering process. I want clients to feel empowered and understood. My goal is for clients to leave with a sense of hope and deeper connection to their feelings.
