About
Jessica Rodriguez
Have you ever felt like you were being put into a box, labeled, and dismissed without anyone truly seeing you as a person with real emotions? It’s frustrating and isolating, but I want you to know it doesn’t have to be that way. You have value, and your life has purpose. I believe every person brings a unique perspective to their experiences, and no one should ever feel limited in their potential. As your therapist, I’m here to truly see you, without preconceived notions or labels, and to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

My Story
Hi, I’m a big fan of music, books, and the great outdoors. These are my go-to comforts—the stories in songs and on the page inspire me, and nature helps ground me when life feels overwhelming. It’s my way of finding beauty and balance, and it’s shaped the way I approach life and my work with clients.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2023 and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at St. Mary’s University. My training focuses on helping people navigate life’s challenges with tools like person-centered and emotion-focused therapy, which encourage self-discovery, acceptance, and emotional growth. I also have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages—children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. My passion lies in helping people, particularly teenagers and young adults, build self-esteem and heal from emotional trauma, including generational and childhood trauma. I especially love supporting clients as they navigate big life decisions around school, careers, relationships, and family.
In our sessions, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard and understood. My ultimate goal is to build an authentic connection with you so we can work together toward your personal growth and healing. Let’s take this journey together—one step at a time!
