About me
Hi I’m Sandra, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
I work with individuals, couples/families and groups to provide treatment and rehabilitation for a wide range of life situations and mental health issues.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches suited to each person. I create a holding space for pain, joy, thoughts and emotions, and whatever you bring to me.
You will be heard and supported as we embark on a joint venture where we may uncover and connect dots, gain better understandings and/or find successful ways to cope and navigate more optimally in life.
As well, I am here to assist with symptom relief and specific strategies to address immediate concerns and goals.
My style is warm and relational, enabling me to provide support as things are faced.
I am currently working with adults.
I have worked with children, adolescents and their families and have ran parenting groups, as well as groups with other areas of focus.
I work with couples and individuals struggling with relationship issues, which is an area of great interest to me.
I’ve had much success in treating anxieties, panic attacks, OCD-related issues, and depressive moods.
I work with those who struggle with managing emotions and/or experience mood disturbances.
I help folks work through loss and gains as well as stress management and goal attainment.
I am EMDR- trained and am passionate with working with trauma.
Therapy with me exceeds the notion of just having talks or conversation. You are taking a step in creating a more content, healthier, more insightful you and it would be my pleasure to help you in this process.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sandra Rodriguez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She has a warm heart, she is not judgmental. She actually hears what you have to say and expresses how she feels about the situation but helps guide you as well. I love her. She has been helping me so much. She gets back to me as fast as she can. I hope to keep her as a counselor for awhile. Definitely a good listener even if you just need someone to listen. She's great!!!
