Clinical Staff: Alyssa Rodriguez

Alyssa Rodriguez

Welcome! I’m Alyssa, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and discover new ways of connecting—with themselves and with others.

I believe that everyone has a story worth telling, and it’s a true privilege to walk alongside people as they share theirs. I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults as they explore identity, relationships, mental health, and life transitions.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and curiosity. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients deepen their emotional awareness, express themselves more freely, and build secure, meaningful relationships. I also integrate Systems Theory, which allows us to explore how family dynamics, cultural influences, and relational patterns shape a person’s lived experience.

I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood—without judgment. Whether we’re using creative tools, engaging in thoughtful conversation, or sitting with emotions that are hard to name, I believe in the healing power of connection.

Outside of the therapy room, I find joy in the simple things—books, music, and time in nature. Both literature and music have played a powerful role in my own healing, and I love exploring these forms of expression with others. Art can speak to emotions in ways that words sometimes cannot.

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.
