Tiffanie Rodriguez (she/her)

I have worked with incarcerated individuals for a number of years, specifically with individuals convicted of sexual crimes. These individuals come from various cultural backgrounds with history of trauma, dysfunction, and unhealthy environments. In working with these individuals, I have built a skillset that assists in addressing past and present problematic behaviors and thought patterns while preparing for reintegration into the community.

Through my work in inpatient psychiatric facilities, as well as in correctional facilities, I have experience working with individuals diagnosed with various personality and mood disorders.

I believe everyone has experience one form of trauma in their lives, but for some of us that mark has a profound impact on our ability to function and connect to others and the world around us. I hope to work hand in hand with those who find it difficult to discover and utilize the internal and external resources they have to navigate their trauma story.

I have extensive experience working with personality disorders, particularly Borderline Personality and Antisocial Personality. I have experience treating individuals with personality disorders both in a forensic/correctional setting and in an inpatient psychiatric setting.

In practice I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with clients to help them recognize how thoughts and emotions regarding a perceived situation relates to patterns of behaviors. CBT is a great approach to utilize when challenging negative or distorted thought patterns and recognizing how these patterns may contribute to maladaptive behaviors.

I welcome clients of all of cultural and ethnic backgrounds with the understanding that our culture, ethnicity, and race play a role in how we identify and express ourselves. The main take away is that YOU and your mental health matter. I meet you where you are and hope to provide a safe space for all to be heard and empowered throughout the healing process.

You are the expert on you! I hope to work in a collaborative way to build a therapeutic relationship that fosters a safe space for clients to be heard, empowered, and achieve their goals.
