Desiré Rodriguez AMFT

A great philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. That you have found yourself here, on this site, is a big first step toward healing. This level of self-awareness is what I believe will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. Every person has the capacity to heal and grow, and my role is to provide guidance and support as you navigate this journey. 

The therapeutic experience should feel tailored to your needs and leave you feeling seen, heard, safe, and understood. For therapy to feel this way takes personal experience and wisdom, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach, to one that is tailored to your unique needs, exploring all aspects of your past experiences, current needs, and aspirations. 

By focusing on all aspects of ourselves, I believe we can achieve true healing and growth. I understand the power of traumatic experiences and how they can define our future if we let them.  I am passionate about helping my clients learn to live in the present moment, increasing their ability to witness their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with compassion through a holistic and somatic approach to therapy. Through this process, we can gain perspective, reach forgiveness, and ultimately find healing.
