Teresa Rodriguez, LMSW

Teresa Rodriguez, LMSW

Psychotherapist
NY
Growing up as the youngest of ten children in a missionary family that left a privileged life in Spain to serve in Newark, New Jersey, I learned early what it meant to witness social inequality up close. Raised in a Catholic, service-oriented household, I was exposed to contrasting realities of privilege and poverty, stability and struggle. When the worldview I had been taught did not align with the suffering I saw around me, it sparked a deep desire to understand people, culture, and the forces that shape our emotional lives. These early experiences continue to inform my work as a clinician.

Getting to know Teresa Rodriguez

Growing up as the youngest of ten children in a missionary family that left a privileged life in Spain to serve in Newark, New Jersey, I learned early what it meant to witness social inequality up close. Raised in a Catholic, service-oriented household, I was exposed to contrasting realities of privilege and poverty, stability and struggle. When the worldview I had been taught did not align with the suffering I saw around me, it sparked a deep desire to understand people, culture, and the forces that shape our emotional lives. These early experiences continue to inform my work as a clinician.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a therapist, I work primarily with individuals navigating life transitions, identity concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and family-of-origin dynamics. I frequently support first-generation young adults, BIPOC clients, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those who feel caught between cultures or expectations. My approach integrates Psychology and Anthropology, allowing me to understand clients not only as individuals, but as people shaped by culture, family systems, identity, and social context.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My work is relational, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, blending active listening, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and exploration of emotional patterns within a client-centered, strength-based framework. Clients often report feeling more grounded, self-aware, and empowered through our work together. Many experience improved emotional regulation, greater clarity around their identity and values, and more secure, authentic relationships.
