Hi, I'm Stephanie Rodriguez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and individuals navigating life's most difficult challenges. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that recognizes the powerful connection between the mind, body, and nervous system. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, chronic illness, and life transitions. I am also passionate about serving veterans, first responders, law enforcement professionals, and their families. Whether you're struggling with a recent life event, a traumatic experience, chronic stress, or simply feeling stuck, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where healing and growth can occur. At the end of the day, I am a human being just like anyone else. I understand that seeking therapy can feel uncomfortable, overwhelming, or even intimidating. There are still many stigmas surrounding mental wellness, and I am committed to creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard. I have dedicated my life to helping others and to understanding how our brains, bodies, and experiences shape who we are. If you're reading this and feeling uncertain about taking the next step, I encourage you to reach out. Let's meet and see if we're a good fit. My goal is to help in any way I can, and if I believe another provider or resource would better meet your needs, I will gladly help connect you with the right support. You do not have to face life's challenges alone.

I present therapeutic modalities to help you resolve trauma, build self-esteem, or cope with depression. I utilize Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I take a strengths-based and Jungian approach, using archetypes and synchronicities to help you find deeper meaning. Growing up in a dysfunctional household and struggling with mental health, I searched for help. I found a therapist who listened and held space for my pain. Through understanding myself and my environment, I gained power to change my perspective and destiny. I wanted to help others reach the same empowerment.

My name is Miguel Lopez, a Hispanic male (He/Him/His) and U.S. Army combat veteran who brings a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Fluent in Spanish and passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University, a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, and an Associate’s in Criminal Justice from Pikes Peak State College. With over a decade of experience as a caseworker, substance abuse counselor, and therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing real-life struggles and in need of daily support. Life can be tough, and we all face difficult moments—whether it’s a breakup, divorce, grief, the loss of a loved one or pet, or even a job loss. In these times, having an unbiased person to offer support can make a world of difference. I see trauma as an unexpected part of life that is often hard to process, but with the right help, it can be managed and overcome healthily. I’ve personally experienced more than my share of trauma, grief, loss, sadness, depression, and substance use, and I sought help to work through them. My approach to therapy is centered on helping people in the best way possible, always with an open mind. I often use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guide, because I believe mental health is hard to prioritize when physical needs aren’t met, or issues like homelessness or substance abuse are present. I enjoy working with clients from age 5 to older adults who face Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other mental health or substance use challenges. It’s easy to fight battles alone and suffer in silence, but you don’t have to anymore—together, we can work toward healing and a better future.

My philosophy focuses mainly on utilizing the components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that our thoughts do influence our behaviors and we are further shaped by our own experiences. I also firmly believe that success is not always met one way. For this reason, I am constantly learning new tools, techniques and strategies to support the clients I serve. We as human beings can be successful if we are able to develop the tools needed to become resilient youth and adults. Building resiliency is about learning that we have the capacity to do things on our own and get through challenging times, no matter what life throws our way. Counseling is not about a therapist telling you what you should do, it is about forming goals and supporting individuals to shape thoughts and behavior to achieve the goals you set out to accomplish. This is not always an easy task, but I can promise I will be in that journey with you by your side each step of the way.

My life experiences are what led me to become a therapist and shaped my deep commitment to supporting others on their healing paths. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of settings — schools, jails, hospitals, and private practice — which has given me a broad understanding of how people cope, survive, and grow in very different environments. I have specialized training in TF‑CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, autism, and women’s mental health, including perinatal, postpartum, and perimenopausal/menopausal concerns. These areas of focus allow me to support women across the full spectrum of emotional, hormonal, and life transitions. I look forward to walking alongside you as we navigate this journey together. I focus on women only at this time.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
