Dr. Javier Rodriguez Cardona

(For Private Pay, Sliding scale available) I help clients break unhealthy cycles, manage health-related stress, manage relationship difficulties, improve their mood, decrease stress and reconnect with their goals and values. Together, we’ll create practical strategies and deeper insights so you can restore balance, improve your well-being, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I believe therapy should provide both insight and practical tools you can use right away. My expertise includes diagnostic clarification and evidence-based therapies such as:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): helps you reduce the struggle with painful thoughts and emotions, and focus instead on building a life guided by your values.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): gives you strategies to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, reduce stress, and create healthier behaviors.
• Solution-Focused Therapy: emphasizes your strengths and resources, helping you identify small, achievable steps that lead to meaningful change.
• Object Relations Therapy: explores how past relationships and experiences may influence present struggles, offering insight to break old patterns.

By combining these approaches, I adapt treatment to your unique needs—whether the goal is to improve sleep, manage chronic pain, strengthen relationships, or restore balance in your life.

You can expected a safe space filled with compassion that promotes a sense of empowerment. My interest will be to understand your unique experience and how is affecting you. During our first session you can expect me to share my clinical impression. Including a path forward and a explanation of the treatment modalities we will be using.
