Stella Rodriquez

Stella aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can talk openly about what matters to them. Her work often centers on relationship concerns and the ripple effects they create.

She uses approaches that include the Gottman Method, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. These methods guide practical change rather than only discussing problems.

Stella helps people facing trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with divorce and separation, infidelity, grief around hospice and end-of-life, and immigration-related stress.

She pays attention to cultural context and multicultural concerns as part of treatment. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Skills practice and clear strategies are often part of sessions so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

Stella describes therapy as a step-by-step process. She encourages people to move at a pace they can handle while offering guidance and tools to build resilience.

Her goal is to help clients find more balance and clearer choices in daily life.
