"It is time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet."
-Marcus Aurelius
Hi and welcome! My name is Dr. Orlando Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the State of Florida.
My clinical specialties include, but are not limited to, providing treatment for anxiety and depression, identity and adjustment issues, interpersonal difficulties, and issues specific to young adults. I also have experience providing therapeutic services to young adults diagnosed with various genetic disorders and serious medical conditions. In addition to therapy, I administer numerous types of psychological and career evaluations in both English and Spanish, both online and in-person.
I typically provide services from my private practice office here in Miami, Florida, where I have had the experience of working with individuals from all over the world. This experience has undoubtedly been an important addition to my personal growth and an ongoing part of my professional growth. For this I could not be more grateful.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities when working with patients. My approach could best be identified as "integrative", as I typically find ways to combine elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Person-centered, Psychoanalytic, and other theoretical principles. I try to avoid focusing on one particular approach, as I believe each and every person is unique and thus often requires a tailored combination of therapeutic strategies to help improve their quality of life. As such, I present myself to every patient with a clear and open mind, while also not forgetting who I am as an individual and as a clinician. My goal is to help you get to where you need to be.
On a personal note, in addition to being a clinical psychologist, I am also a son, a brother, a husband, and a father. Roles that have helped shape me into the person I am today. An important lesson I have learned through these experiences, is to understand that there is a balance to all things and to accept them for what they are. At times, we forget this.
I look forward to working with you!
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Eating disorders, Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes

Dr. Rodriguez is absolutely great, we've only been talking for a couple of weeks so far but I can definitely see a route to my improvement. It might sound cheesy but I am excited to continue working with him.
