Our Philosophy
We honor lineage and culture by weaving indigenous healing traditions into modern therapy.
Our clinical framework is trauma-aware, centering practices such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, and intentional breathwork.
We create inclusive spaces where therapy, spiritual support, and ancestral ritual work in harmony.
Meet Jennifer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Reiki Master, and Q’ero medicine keeper, Jennifer brings a heart-centered, culturally rooted style to her practice.
Raised by resilient immigrant parents, she deeply understands the impact of cultural identity, assimilation, and intergenerational trauma. Her therapeutic journey began in special education and evolved into advanced clinical practice—integrating narrative, transpersonal, and somatic approaches.
Jennifer specializes in:
Holistic therapy: blending trauma trained therapy, inner child healing, and polyvagal-informed practices
Ancestral rituals: ceremonies inspired by cacao, Egyptian tea rituals, and Latinx‑Indigenous wisdom
Energetic modalities: Reiki, chakra balancing, and sound healing integrated into her clinical work

I have been in and out of therapy since I was a teenager. Dealing with multiple diagnosis from Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Now 32, I have finally found peace because of the help I have received from Jennifer Rodriguez. She has taught me many coping skills that I have been lacking most of my life due to trauma; I can now better handle the ups and downs of the world that come along with having such incapacitating anxiety. She has taught me to love myself and shown me that the world is not so dark. More than anything she has helped me trust again. She has handled my care with grace, and I know she will do the same for anyone that has the pleasure of working with her

Jennifer truly has been such an amazing therapist, I had never been through therapy before, but my personal values and beliefs really aligned with Jennifer’s holistic approach to therapy. I’ve already seen a huge improvement in my behaviors and coping strategies, and I look forward to seeing myself grow even more with our future sessions

My therapist Jennifer has been wonderful! Where do I begin! I started working with her in January and have felt a million times better. I am experiencing a huge family trauma which has cause major depression, anxiety as well as grief. Through her various services I have been able to overcome the generational trauma that has changed my life. She has been able to open up different chakras that were closed which has helped in my healing journey. My throat chakras which was the worst has been able to open allowing me to communicate my feelings with others in a calm and relaxing manner. She has also done emdr treatment and shown me different techniques to calm my nerves when I get anxious. This has also helped tremendously when I feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack. Those techniques have guided me to calm myself down without medication. She has guided me in reintroducing my faith back into my life. Bringing faith back in has led me to spiritual awakenings. I feel more at peace within myself, my family and my life

Jennifer is an exceptional clinician. I was able to build trust with her quickly and since then have always had the feeling that I can speak openly about anything while always feeling listened to and held with care. Her perspectives and insights are so interesting and helpful. Her suggestions are always spot on and helpful, as well. Her encouragement keeps me hopeful. As a as client, I prefer someone who can speak with me about spiritual and unconventional elements without imposing beliefs and she does this gracefully and respectfully. As a therapist myself, I can say she is very professional and effective in her approach. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs counseling

CAUTION: You better be ready for some major changes in your life if you're reaching out to Jennifer :) I had recently gone through a "hell" of a time in my personal life, and through several months of her gentle, yet straightforward solutions, I was able to identity many beliefs & patterns in my life that no longer served me. She helped me reconnect my mind, body and spirit & led me to understand what loving myself truly means. (Please read that again!) I was ultimately able to make deeply meaningful changes in my day to day life for the better. I highly recommend Jennifer for those who would like a mix of "traditional" Western therapy, but would also like to strengthen their spiritual identity.
