I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been counseling clients dealing with a variety of mental, emotional, and relational issues for a number of years. I have counseled adolescents, adults, families, couples and groups. I decided to pursue a doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy because I realized the impact that our families, and society as well, have on our mental and emotional development. The impact is both positive and negative and may manifest as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, a lack of a sense of self and other mental and emotional disorders. In counseling, I help clients explore those influences and the impact on their life. My specialties then center around helping clients gain insight into those influences, become more empowered, develop a stronger sense of self, and take steps to become who they really are; thereby addressing mental and emotional health issues. It's important to note that many times, experiences unfortunately include trauma and loss. It may be childhood or other trauma. Identifying, acknowledging and processing trauma and loss is therefore often a part of the process of becoming more empowered and developing that strong sense of self described above. .

I received an MA in Humanistic Psychology in 2007 from the University of West Georgia.

My learning and healing journey has been full of the unexpected and the changes have come in a variety of forms. Some I have savored, leaving me filled with a sense of wonder. Others have left me picking up the broken pieces, wondering in what possible way I might ever come back together again. I have been lucky, I think, to have the lens of Psychology to help me along the way. Along our way together I will offer this lens to you.

Whether you’re navigating emotional distress, life transitions, or simply seeking a space to grow and reflect, I’m here to support you with compassion, respect, and guidance.

Hi, I’m Rodniqua. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is honest, personable, and collaborative, creating a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, suicidal thoughts, and other high-acuity mental health concerns. Whether you’re navigating a crisis or working toward long-term growth, I’m committed to helping you build practical skills, strengthen resilience, and find hope through compassionate, evidence-based care.
