Hola! My name is Maritrini "Mari" Rodriguez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and proud first-generation Latina. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, navigate life's challenges, and feel empowered in their healing journey. My approach is centered on understanding each person's unique experiences and providing thoughtful, personalized care that honors their values, strengths, and goals. I believe in fostering a welcoming and respectful environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. Whether you're working through past experiences, facing a current life transition, or looking to build healthier coping strategies, my goal is to help you gain insight, strengthen resilience, and foster lasting personal growth. Together, we'll work toward healing, creating meaningful change, and helping you move forward with greater confidence and hope.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and confidential environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We’ll begin by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any current challenges you’re facing. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, your strengths, and what’s most important to you in your healing or personal growth journey. Together, we’ll start to explore ways to approach your concerns and develop a plan for moving forward. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the process, the types of therapy I use, and how we can best work together to meet your needs. My goal is to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported as we begin building a partnership for your mental health and well-being.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my empathy, ability to build trust, and the depth of my therapeutic knowledge. With nine years of experience, I’m skilled at creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I am particularly adept at tailoring therapy to fit each individual’s needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices to help clients make meaningful progress. My ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds is another strength—I value cultural sensitivity and work hard to meet clients where they are in their unique journeys. I also bring a solution-focused approach, helping clients not only understand their challenges but also identify practical tools and strategies for overcoming them. Ultimately, I’m committed to walking alongside my clients as they heal and grow, empowering them to make lasting changes in their lives.
I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as well as those coping with stress, grief, and personal growth. Whether you're looking to heal from past experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, or work through a difficult life stage, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you gain insight, build resilience, and achieve lasting positive change.

I've been incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice for the past five years, and it's been effective in helping many clients address recurring thoughts and manage anxiety. In our work together, we'll explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By understanding this relationship, we can reshape your thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and stress, leading to a calmer, more balanced life.

Best therapist I've worked with in a very long time. I feel heard and seen. I appreciate her warm, open-minded, yet direct approach. I genuinely feel supported and encouraged in my growth. I'm very thankful for the progress I've made with her guidance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a therapist who cares.

Maritrini makes me feel truly understood and heard. She is authentic, empowering, and very warm. I’m grateful I connected with her right away without having to try multiple therapists. I genuinely look forward to our weekly sessions. Each session helps me learn more about myself, including feelings I didn’t realize I had. She encourages me to think out loud, and as someone who doesn’t usually rely on others, I’m surprised by how openly I talk during our sessions.
