Zulma Rodriguez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Registered (LCSW-R) and Credentialed Addiction and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Certified (EMDR-C). Dialectical Behavior Therapy Certified (C-DBT), as well as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Zulma specializes in working with shame and trauma resulting from issues such as addiction, attachment styles, inner child wounds, codependency, as well as problems at work or within family, and relationships. Zulma’s eclectic holistic intuitive form of psychotherapy consists of EMDR, DBT, Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Zulma provides insight, coping skills, and believes change happens when given the guidance, as well as support needed to draw on one’s own strength needed to live fulfilling lives. After growing up in a dysfunctional family, I embarked on a transformative journey in therapy in my 20s, committed to doing whatever it took to make sense of my life and discover my self-worth. This ongoing process has not only helped me live a more fulfilling life but has also inspired me to support others in their own healing and

EMDR

My approach is to tailor treatment based on each client's needs rather than following one-size-fits-all model. Clients receive a blend of structured skill-building(DBT, CBT) and deep emotional processing (EMDR, Hypnosis, Psychodynamic Therapy) to promote both immediate relief and long-term healing. By combining these modalities, I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can process their trauma, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and ultimately achieve greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.
