Hola, my name is Karina Rodriguez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker (LCSW), fluent in English and Spanish, with a background of working with adolescents and families in various situations including inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, residential facilities, private practice, and DCFS. You are the expert in your own life, and I strive to provide a supportive and safe environment within our therapeutic relationships. I look forward to helping and guiding you in developing new confidence, behaviors, and skills as we work toward achieving your goals. Currently, I have helped start a Virtual Partial Hospitalizations program where I provide group and individual therapy for adolescents struggling with mood disorders or who have severe school refusal due to anxiety.
Your first session is all about getting to know you in a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask questions about your background, current challenges, and any past experiences with therapy, but you’re always in control of what you feel comfortable sharing.
My experience has provided me the opportunity to encounter and specialize in a broad range of situations: including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, interpersonal relationship issues, school refusal, trauma, and many more.
I am best positioned to serve individuals aged 12 and older, including teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal growth.

Karina has really given me the knowledge I need to make changes and also understand why I am who I am. Our conversations are incredible. She just understands me. I really look forward to my weekly sessions.

Karina has been so wonderful to work with. Talking to her is super easy, nonjudgmental and keeps such good track of my growth, even when I dismiss it. 20/10
