Alexandra Rodriguez Therapist

As your therapist, I want you to feel heard and validated. Therapy allows an opportunity for introspection into what's working for you and what's not working. The work begins when we can find effective strategies to replace unhealthy coping mechanisms in our life. I find joy in watching individuals gain insight and find pleasure in their lives again. 

 

I have experience in working with clients who have experienced Trauma including:

 

  • Domestic Violence 

  • Sexual Abuse/ Assault 

  • Physical Abuse

  • Traumatic Grief

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Life Transitions (Adoption, Divorce, etc.)

  • Behavioral and Disruption in Children

I work with children (beginning at age 5), adolescents, families, and adults.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

 

Alexandra is a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Originally from Costa Rica, she is deeply passionate about providing culturally responsive, inclusive care—especially for individuals from marginalized backgrounds.
 

Alexandra offers a safe, supportive space where clients from all walks of life can feel seen, heard, and empowered. Her approach to therapy is nonjudgmental and integrative, blending the mind, body, and soul to support holistic healing and growth.
 

Whether you're navigating stress, identity challenges, or emotional overwhelm, Alexandra will collaborate with you to clarify your goals, explore your inner strengths, and help you create the meaningful change you desire.
