I enjoy and have experience using different therapies to individualize the needs and goals of my clients. I am passionate about mental health and believe in working with our mind, ...
College can be amazing—and brutal. I remember when I was in college: papers, jobs, family stuff, breakups… and how stress can wake up old hurts. I’m Brandon Rodriguez, LCMHC (EMDR-certified), and I help students who feel stuck by trauma, panic, bad memories, or constant worry. How EMDR helps: we identify the moments your brain keeps replaying (accidents, losses, bullying, assaults, chaotic homes, medical scares). With simple bilateral techniques—like brief sets of eye movements—we help your n...

Being a teen or young adult can be exhausting. Just because you’re young, it doesn’t mean you don’t have real struggles, like loneliness, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or even hopelessness about what’s next in your life. If you’re navigating any of these challenges or feel overwhelmed by the transition into adulthood, I’ve got your back. I’m here to actually listen to you and understand what you’re going through, from the major life events – both good and bad – to the “small” stuf...

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to who will truly listen wi...
The bulk of my experience is working with BIPOC women. When working with clients, my goal is not to tell clients what to do. I spend time listening and asking questions so clients can come to their realizations. I find it more effective when clients develop a clear understanding of their own. When they hear what they say aloud, they often have an ""aha"" moment. Once they come to the realization, I sometimes turn to a solution-focused model to offer guidance in determining the next steps. I'm...

My goal for all my clients is to learn better ways to cope so that they can live a more well-balanced...
