Thank you for visiting my profile and taking steps towards your progress!
My name is Kaity Rodriguez and I am a clinical social worker, independently licensed to practice in both New Jersey (LCSW) and South Carolina (LISW). I have spent the past decade working in youth and family-related programs, as well as private practice settings. I have served as an individual and group therapist to clients with clinical diagnoses ranging from depression and PTSD, to ADHD and eating disorders; however, my expertise is in treating depression, anxiety, and stress -related disorders, as well as women's issues (i.e. body image, confidence, "superwoman syndrome", and working mother guilt).
My appraoch to therapy is non-judgemental, interactive, and compassionate. While we all have biases, I believe that under the right circumstances, we all have the ability to fall short and make mistakes. I take this belief into therapy so that my clients can feel comfortable sharing. I create a calm and warm therapeutic environment, remaining sensitive to my clients' challenges, but also pushing them towards progress. I pull from a variety of approaches and theories, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, and systems theory. Some of the most frequent successful outcomes I've seen in my clients include: managing stress, reducing negative thoughts, reducing panic attacks, disconnecting from or healing negative relationships, and achieving self-acceptance.
I attended the University of South Carolina, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University and again graduated Magna Cum Laude. I take my own well being, sucess, and future very seriously. I will do the same for you!

Kaity is great! She always responds to you with great advice and helps you figure out how to best help yourself. She keeps it casual so you don't feel pressure and doesn't force anything. She has really helped me tremendously.

Kaity is a very good therapist who has slowly helped for with a very long time. She's very understanding and sensitive to personal issues that may be difficult to talk about, but also will help you the best she can with the information she has in front of her. I would reccoment her services.

Kaity had been a wonderful support to me. I recently moved to another state to be with my significant other, and discovered a degree of infidelity on his part. Feeling alone in a place I know very little about, I signed up with BetterHelp and I can say that talking with Kaity has helped me to navigate through this difficult time in my life. I don't know what the future holds for me, but Kaity has reminded me almost daily that I am strong and I can get through anything. Thank you Kaity.
