Ashley Rodriguez

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don't have to figure everything out on your own. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I enjoy helping clients build confidence, improve self-esteem and social skills, and work through anxiety, stress, anger, and emotional regulation. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable being yourself and know that you have a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space to talk.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on helping you feel empowered in your own life. I believe you are the expert on your experiences, and my role is to walk alongside you, provide support and guidance, and help you discover the tools and strengths you already have within you. I use techniques from CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you find what works best for you. Together, we'll work on building self-awareness, managing emotions, and developing the confidence and skills you need to navigate life's challenges.

Our first session is really about getting to know each other and creating a space where you feel comfortable and heard. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's been going on in your life, and what you hope to get out of our work together. I know it takes courage to reach out for support, and my goal is for you to leave our first session feeling welcomed, supported, and hopeful about the journey ahead.
