Michelle E Rodriguez
Introduction
For almost a decade, I've worked with individuals and couples trying to understand themselves, their relationships, and why they sometimes find themselves doing the very things they wish they wouldn't. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and doctoral researcher in Interpersonal Communication. My background in psychology and communication has taught me that there's rarely a simple explanation for why we think, feel, or behave the way we do. Our histories, relationships, beliefs, and experiences all play a part, often in ways we don't recognize. What I love about this work is helping people figure out what's actually happening beneath the surface. Why does the same argument keep happening? Why is it so hard to say what we need? Why do we sometimes treat ourselves more harshly than we would ever treat someone we love? I believe meaningful change begins with curiosity. When we can look at our experiences without immediately judging ourselves or someone else, we have a chance to understand what's happening and decide whether we want to do something differently. Therapy isn't about fixing broken people or deciding who's right. It's about understanding ourselves well enough to recognize when old ways of thinking, protecting ourselves, or relating to others are no longer working and figuring out what might work better. The therapeutic journey is a privilege to walk alongside the people who trust me with their stories.
