Maribel Rodriguez, LMHC, is a DBT therapist, trainer, and coach who supports individuals in finding balance between acceptance and change. Her approach is warm, direct, culturally conscious, and solution-focused, helping clients feel understood while gaining tools to move forward. She believes healing happens in real connection, practical skill-building, and learning to rewrite your story with resilience and purpose.
I show up warm, real, direct, and grounded in both empathy and solutions, blending deep understanding with honest feedback that moves you forward. I bring a culturally aware lens, humor when appropriate, and a strong belief in your ability to heal and grow. You can expect a safe space where you are accepted fully, while also challenged with care to make meaningful change.
In our first session, we’ll balance understanding your story with identifying what you want to change—using compassion, curiosity, and practical direction. I’ll help you feel seen and heard while also introducing the foundation of DBT: building a life worth living through both acceptance and change. We’ll begin mapping your goals, learning about patterns, and exploring the skills that will best support your growth.
