AnnMarie Rodriguez

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength. I earned a Dual Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Barry University, where I developed a deep understanding of both individual and relational wellness.

My clinical experience includes working with children and adolescents dealing with ADHD, anger management, depression, anxiety, school and social challenges, coping skills, emotional regulation skills, self-esteem, and stress management. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique needs, combining evidence-based techniques with genuine care and encouragement. Whether you’re seeking personal healing, improved relationships, or greater emotional balance, my goal is to help you build the tools and confidence to live a more fulfilling life.

Our first session is all about getting comfortable and getting to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you'd like to work on, and what you hope to gain from our time together. We'll also explore fun activities and games that we can use throughout our sessions to make therapy feel engaging and comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, accepted, and welcomed. We'll end our first session with a fun "Getting to know you" activity so we can begin building a genuine connection and a strong therapeutic relationship.
