Getting to know Julissa Rodriguez

Reaching out for help and seeking therapy can be hard (I've been there). As a first-generation Latina, I am passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health and helping you break through patterns of generational trauma to guide you to discover your strengths. My approach My work is grounded in compassion, community, and advocacy. I approach therapy with cultural sensitivity and an understanding of how identity, family, and context shape us. Through a blend of therapeutic approaches, I work to create a space where your experiences are not only acknowledged but centered in our work together. My focus I help millennials and Gen Z individuals, particularly within the BIPOC community, move through the effects of family and relationship trauma that often show up as low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing behaviors. I hold space for your experiences with empathy while also challenging the patterns that keep you in a cycle. My communication style I prioritize and strive to create a genuine, authentic space where you can feel seen and heard. I hold compassionate space for clients to process their emotions and stories, while gently guiding them toward self-awareness, responsibility, and meaningful change. My journey to mental healthcare My journey toward becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about how our early experiences shape the way we see ourselves and connect with others. Over time, I saw how many people, especially within the BIPOC community, carry the weight of cultural expectations, family trauma, and perfectionism. My goals for you Together, we will work to identify and strengthen the resilience that already exists within you while also developing new tools and strategies that feel authentic. My role is not to have all the answers, but to support you in discovering your own strengths.
