Sonia Rodriguez
Do you feel like you're managing life on the outside but feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted on the inside? I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, including college students and young adults adjusting to new responsibilities.
I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where insight, understanding, and clarity can develop naturally.
I also enjoy working with adult children of immigrants and value creating a space where each person's experiences and perspectives can be explored openly. My approach is warm, relational, and conversational. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, build insight, and find practical ways to navigate life's challenges.
First session
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, current challenges, and what you're hoping to gain from our work together. We'll begin identifying goals collaboratively, and there's no pressure to have everything figured out or share everything during our first meeting.
Strengths
I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to build genuine connections with clients and help them feel comfortable opening up. I bring warmth, empathy, and attentive listening to our sessions, while also asking thoughtful questions that encourage reflection and insight. My goal is to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
Ideal clients
I tend to work best with adults who are open to conversation and self-reflection, even if they're unsure where to begin. You might be feeling overwhelmed, struggling with patterns in your relationships, or navigating changes in your life. I enjoy working with clients who appreciate a collaborative, conversational approach where we can explore challenges, build insight, and work toward meaningful change.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I like to use Person-Centered therapy to allow the client to feel understood and supported. I use an empathetic understanding to learn more about you, your experiences in life, beliefs and values of yourself and others. This will help gain insight into yourself and your perception of life while gaining healthier communication skills, healthier relationships and improved self-awareness. I provide a safe space for my clients to be able to express themselves without worrying about judgement.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT techniques to help my clients understand the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and reactions. I work with my clients to identify learned patterns of unhelpful thinking, identify negative thinking patterns, and develop coping skills by processing situations that are causing distress.
