Melina Rodriguez, LPCC
Experience and Approach
My approach to the counseling process is a blend of psychotherapy, self-exploration, and skill building through a healing relationship with honesty, genuine care, humor, and compassion.
My experience includes individuals experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, attachment issues, suicidal ideation, physical/sexual abuse. Nontraditional creative outlets we may incorporate depending on your individual needs include nature walks, art, music, writing, mindfulness, and more. Healing sources are all around us.
My specialties include working through shame/guilt, empowerment and self-worth, anxiety and depression, stress reduction, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy skills, psychedelic integration therapy, sex positive and sex worker support- all through a trauma informed and multicultural lens.
Your treatment deserves to be individualized to your needs.
Services
Individual Counseling
For individuals wanting to truly dive deeper into the self, explore suppressed feelings/trauma, works on individual goals and growth.
Couples Counseling
For partners experiencing interrelation issues within a relationship. Often stemming from lost communication, my approach is to provide a time and place to explore the relationship and your understanding of one another's needs and wants.
Walk & Talk/Coaching
For individuals wanting a more casual setting if the idea of talk therapy creates some anxiety or fear. Weather permitting, we can meet in more casual spaces depending on your comfort level.
