THERAPY FOR ADULTS IN CALIFORNIA
Whether you are navigating life with a chronic illness, feeling stuck in a depressive season, or replaying past traumas on an endless loop, I’m here for you.
Living with a chronic illness changes who you are and how you see yourself.
Stepping away from hobbies, canceling plans, seeing days go by while you lie in bed, the effects of chronic illness extend beyond the physical body.
And yet, so often that’s where the focus goes. Somewhere along the way, life stopped being about living and became about “getting through the day.” Managing symptoms. Flare-ups. Surviving.
You deserve a space, and a therapist, who truly understands the impact chronic illness can have on your body and on your sense of self.
What Brings People In
Depression sucks and you shouldn’t have to deal with it alone.
Showing up for yourself and others day in & day out but still feeling a deep heaviness? Maybe even a deep sadness? You may be living with high-functioning depression.
Depression doesn’t always look like isolating from the world. Sometimes, it looks doing our absolute best and still feel like we aren’t good enough. Or strong enough. Or worthy enough.
What’s your story? Who’s voice acts as your inner critic? Yours or someone else’s?
It’s easy to think that because something happened long ago, it no longer matters. But that’s not true.
Many of us carry wounds from our childhood & adolescent years. We may not always recognize how those hurts impact our current selves, but there may be signs. Maybe we hear the critical parent when we look at our reflection in the mirror. Maybe we stop ourselves from taking chances because of that one epic failure in high school. Or maybe we have awareness but don’t know what to do with it.
Meet Crystal Rodriguez, ASW
I’m a Latina, First-Gen, Philly-born, LA-transplant. I’m a creative soul (performer, writer, & singer) and I love bringing all forms of art into the therapeutic space. I’m also an Aquarius, so if you need to master the art of detachment, I got you.
-
I work with individuals and couples 18 years and older. My clients are often BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or neurodivergent.
Whatever your identity or background, I’m here to support you.
-
At this time, I only offer virtual sessions to clients residing in California.
-
Consultation gives us the opportunity to connect and see if we’re a therapeutic fit. During our 15-30 minutes together, we’ll briefly discuss what brings you to therapy and outline any goals you may have. It’s also a space for you to ask me any questions and get a sense of how I work.
-
My approach is chill. I’m direct, but never in a confrontational way. I will push you but only if you are ready, and only because I want you to thrive.
Our work might include a blend of:EMDR for processing stuck places and old wounds
Narrative Therapy to rewrite the stories you’ve been carrying
CBT and DBT skills when structure or tools are helpful
Psychodynamic insights to understand deeper patterns
Experiential approaches because change happens through action
-
$150 for individual therapy (50 min.)
$180 for couples therapy (50 min.)
Sessions can be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs. If bi-weekly, I ask that we meet once a week for 4 consecutive weeks before transitioning.
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full fee, unless it can be rescheduled in the same week.
I reserve therapy time just for you and last minute cancellations do not allow me to time to schedule someone else in that slot. -
I do not accept insurance, but can provide a superbill so that you may submit for out-of-network benefits, if applicable.
