Elizabeth Rodriguez
Have you been able to follow through on your personal goals and aspirations? Maybe what is needed is a deep dive into why you keep choosing the same old same old. Maybe it’s time to finally choose peace instead of survival. Unresolved trauma need not interrupt your life and your personal relationships. I specialize in working with first responders and veterans. I use a multi-model approach to fit each client's style and needs. I specialize in Client Centered, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. The mind's only job is to protect the body, our fear inducing thoughts that keep us in a constant state of alarm serve a purpose. Together we will question the mind's beliefs and start to sort the beliefs that serve us in the goals that we have established.

First session
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me to create a tailored plan for us to work through in the follow-up sessions.

Strengths
My biggest strengths is helping people define what they want, and follow through on moving forward. I find huge benefit in helping others develop an awareness of how childhood issues have affected and continue to affect one's family life. Resolving past childhood/family issues, leading to less anger and depression, greater self-esteem, security, and confidence.
Ideal clients
I really enjoy working with people that have decided that they rather try to make a better way for themselves instead of dwelling in their circumstances. The Bible inspires us by illustrating how people made difficult decisions that when everything around you is death and destruction to not accept that fate, waiting for the inevitable but to seek out the way of escape, hope and life (2 Kings 7: 3-4).
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our beliefs and assumptions dictate the meanings we make of the world around us and are responsible for our suffering. Peace is facilitated through questioning and lovingly considering the supporting beliefs that are holding our suffering in place and finding the truth of what is so in our lives vs what we assume in our lives.
