Casa Madre Counseling Center

Jennifer Rodriguez is the Founder and Director of Amor Latino Counseling Center (Casa Madre Center), a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening individuals, families, and communities through trauma-informed counseling, family wellness programming, restorative initiatives, and culturally responsive support.

With a background in clinical social work, education, and family systems, Jennifer’s work centers on healing the impact of trauma, strengthening relationships, supporting nervous system regulation, and creating accessible pathways for individuals and families to experience connection, resilience, and growth.

Jennifer developed the Healing Every Layer of You® framework, a restorative wellness model focused on supporting the many layers of human experience — emotional, relational, physical, cultural, and spiritual — while recognizing the importance of community, belonging, and supportive relationships in long-term healing.

Collaborative Cultural & Community Healing Programming

As part of Casa Madre Center’s community wellness offerings, Jennifer collaborates with cultural practitioners, educators, and spiritual leaders to create intentional spaces for reflection, connection, and community care.

These collaborative offerings may include:

Womb Ceremonies

Community-centered gatherings that honor reflection, embodiment, connection, and personal renewal through culturally rooted wellness practices.

Moon Ceremonies

Intentional community gatherings focused on mindfulness, reflection, connection, and honoring cycles of change and growth.

Mayan Fire Ceremonies

Sacred cultural experiences facilitated through collaboration with trained cultural practitioners, offering opportunities for intention setting, gratitude, reflection, and connection to ancestral traditions.

Through these collaborations, Jennifer honors the role that culture, community, and meaningful traditions can play in supporting resilience and strengthening relationships.

A Bridge Between Clinical Care & Community Wellness

Jennifer’s approach recognizes that healing is supported through multiple pathways. Her clinical work integrates evidence-informed practices, family systems perspectives, trauma-informed care, and community-based wellness initiatives.

The goal is to create spaces where individuals and families can access support that honors their experiences, strengthens connection, and promotes healthier futures.

Community ceremonies and spiritual wellness offerings are educational and community-based experiences and are not a replacement for licensed mental health treatment.
