Clinical Staff: Shannon Rodriguez

Shannon Rodriguez

A licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Shannon is a graduate from Chapman University with a Master of Arts in Psychology. Shannon chose a career in mental health due to her extreme curiosity for the decision-making process and the human behavior that accompanies decision making.

Shannon has worked in many different settings prior to joining A Mindful You such as treating clients in a residential substance facility, treating domestic violence survivors as well as clients that are on probations and need court ordered mental health support.

Shannon is experienced in providing support to individuals and shines in her groups. At A Mindful You Shannon runs several groups starting with a men’s support group, a women’s support group and working with people on regulating their emotions.

Shannon’s approach to therapy is to meet her clients where they are at. Feeling that nothing should be forced, and the therapeutic relationship is of mutual respect and understanding by the client and the therapist. She like to focus on each client’s individual goals and learning what value is placed on those goals to help achieve them.

In her off-time Shannon likes to spend time in nature walking, hiking and is even happier when she gets to spend nature time with her family.
