More about Teresa

- LCMHC, LPCC
As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor since 2005, I bring nearly two decades of experience integrating creative arts, somatic depth psychology, and neuroscience into my therapeutic practice. My deep connection to my multicultural heritage—rooted in my father’s Mayan Indian heritage from Guatemala and my mother’s German descent—profoundly shapes my approach to healing.
My journey began in the 1990s, working with traumatized children through art, dance, and music, and evolved through training in neurofeedback and neuroscience. I hold dual master’s degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy, and a doctoral degree in Somatic Depth Psychology. My research focuses on healing historical trauma in indigenous communities by reconnecting with traditional cultures.
My professional background spans diverse settings including hospitals, jails, schools, and treatment centers, allowing me to support individuals across a broad spectrum of ages, backgrounds, and needs. Whether you seek guidance through serious mental health challenges or simply need someone to talk to, I offer a non-judgmental, empathetic ear to help you navigate your journey.
I believe in the inherent ability of each person to find their true path and meaning in life. Drawing on collective ancestral wisdom, and understanding the importance of intimacy, community, and holistic well-being, I strive to help individuals connect with their authentic selves and maintain balance across mind, body, and spirit. In today’s world, where isolation and pressure are prevalent, reconnecting with oneself and one’s community is crucial for health and happiness.
I look forward to hearing your story and supporting you in your path to health and wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing experience working with Dr. Rodriguez. She was able to help me in dealing with my depression. Feel 100% better since communicating with her.
Very skillful counselor, definitely recommend!
Dr. Rodriguez is easy to talk to and understand. She has a really great ability to show you (instead of tell you) what is troubling you. I appreciate her gentle directions and explanations but most of all that she is realistic and genuine in her conversations.
Dr. Rodriguez has been a great support. I have appreciated the consistency and all she has helped me with so far. I recommend her for her expertise and how caring she is.
Dr. Rodriguez helped me through a very traumatic time in my life. Her expertise showed immediately, as she showed compassion (that I needed) and guided me through various stages that I was going through. Her guidance was spot on. She was very responsive. I am so grateful to have her in my corner. :)
I have nothing but good things to say. This experience has been excellent and truly transformational for me. Dr Rodriguez is very professional and clearly well trained. She's a great listener and an excellent advisor. I always leave my session feeling way better than I did going into it. Highly recommended therapist!
Dr. Rodriguez is a fantastic human being. She listens to details and compounds what she hears into her insights. I feel at ease talking with her and have great confidence in her knowledge. I really like her vibes and true to fact observations. I find myself looking forward to hearing her wisdom.
I love her. Life saver, life changing.
Dr. Rodriquez was extremely helpful and listened attentively to my issues. I appreciated that she didn't just listen though, she offered me plenty of tools and advice on how to work on my issues and how to be kinder to myself. She's great and would recommend to anyone! :)
Dr. Rodriguez has been able to get to the crux of things faster than any other counselor I have had. I appreciate that she checks in with me to see how I am doing before our scheduled appointment. She offers me homework that has been helpful. I feel understood and also softly challenged enough to work on what is needed.
Dr. Rodriguez is a wonderful person and counselor. She actively listens to what you say, and guides you towards your goals. She understands me better than I thought a counselor could, and in the short time I have been with her, has helped me more than I could have ever hoped.
I don't think I could have found a better match in counselor. I was really surprised that it worked out so extremely well, and I can't thank her enough for her encouragement and gentle nudging in the right direction. I'm in a much better place with her conversations in my pocket.
Prof. Rodriguez has expertise in so many areas of counseling. She is patient, understanding and is great at explaining something by using an analogy if her client is confused or not able to grasp what is being said. I love that about her. She is so open and has a multitude of experiences. It was easy and comfortable to connect with her. She is neutral and not judgmental. I trust her completely.
Professor Rodriguez is what I was hoping for in a therapist. She's realistic, respectful, and kind.
Prof. Rodriguez is great. She takes the time to understand your concerns and provides practical advice in a supportive and empowering manner. She has been a great sounding board and has helped me gain more clarity and insight faster than I thought possible. Totally recommend her.
Prof. Rodriguez is phenomenal. I am a particularly complex case and have many diagnoses that previous professionals have told me will never improve. She gives me hope and doesn’t make me feel like I am broken beyond repair. She is extremely intelligent, compassionate, and wise. She pulls answers and resources from a varied database of knowledge she has acquired and meets you where you are. I know she will change my life for the better forever.
I have really enjoyed working with Prof. Rodriguez. She is a great listener and very compassionate to my circumstances. I feel good knowing I can talk with her about anything. She also gives great, actionable steps and tools to take back into my day. I did have to go through a couple of other therapists to find her, but I am SO glad I was matched to her. I highly recommend her
I love Jeannette! She helps you understand difficult times in a new perspective and really go through the feelings and emotions along with the difficulties you are going through. She has helped me to learn to be present in tough times, to understand how important and deserving I am, and how my attitude and perspective can change so much.
Jeannette is a wonderful support and a fantastic counselor.
Jeannette is super helpful and energetic!
Right from the start I knew that Jeanette was the right therapist for me. She honored where I was in my journey and helped me to see an opportunity where before there was a wall. There's something about her counseling that is edgy and raw and I really like that... When I came to her, I was too close to see the big picture and she helped me to take a step back so I could find meaning in the chaos. I would recommend her to anyone.
Through the time spent with Jeannette, I've learned quite a bit about myself, which gave me a better understanding about my true problems that I wasn't even aware of. She is truly caring and indeed a good listener, having the right words at the right time. Thank you Jeannette for being there for me and listening to my problems :)
Helpfull
She is very nice, talk me through and help me to clarify which thoughts will make me feel positive, to reinforce my strengths together with allow my emotions to flow in the good direction. A friend to share and an elder to guide :) Thank you Jeannette!
