Getting to know Maritza Rodriguez

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from California Baptist University. I tailor my therapy approach to be person-centered, aiming to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for my clients. I have experience working with individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, life changes, stress, ADHD, and anger management. My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices, and I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches allow me to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, set achievable goals, and explore their own motivations to create lasting change. I believe in adapting my methods to meet each client's unique needs and working collaboratively to find practical solutions. I typically work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life changes, stress, and anger management issues. I am most comfortable treating clients who are looking to make meaningful changes in their lives, whether it's managing mental health challenges or navigating difficult life transitions. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. Most people tell me that I create a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I understand that taking the step to go to therapy can be scary and vulnerable, so I strive to provide a space where clients feel heard and supported, making the experience less daunting and more helpful. My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my own battle with mental health. Experiencing the challenges of mental health firsthand gave me a deep understanding of the importance of support and compassion during tough times.
