Tiara Rodriguez

I’m a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree in counseling and over three years of clinical experience providing therapy through internship and associate-level practice. My background also includes community mental health, crisis services, and private practice. I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, difficult relationships, attachment wounds, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My own experiences with trauma and unexpected life challenges have shaped my understanding of how important it can be to find safety, trust yourself, and feel grounded again. I bring compassion, curiosity, and gentle challenge to therapy, while also offering Christian counseling for those who want to integrate their faith.

I take a holistic, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach, with a person-centered style guiding our work. I draw from CBT, IFS, Polyvagal-informed and somatic approaches, and mindfulness to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, and create meaningful change. For Christian counseling, I integrate faith and biblical principles in a way that honors your beliefs and values.

Finding the right therapist matters, especially when reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I want therapy to be a place where you can explore what you're experiencing, build on your strengths, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your experiences, what you’re hoping to work on, and what support might be most helpful. You don’t need to have everything figured out or share anything before you’re ready. My goal is for you to feel heard, comfortable, and supported as we begin working together.
