meet the therapist

Hi there! I am Amanda Rodriguez, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, providing telehealth counseling services for residents of Illinois and Florida. I am passionate about the field of counseling in order to help others gain insight and empowerment. When traumatic experiences happen, it can sometimes get stored in unconscious patterns, muscle tension, and conflictual relationships with others. You know there’s a better version of you that awaits unveiling. I believe it too. I am always so grateful and privileged to stand beside someone as they uncover their truths, enhance their identities, break free from shame and guilt, and live the life they’ve always wanted. In my approach, we work together collaboratively to meet your goals and improve your overall sense of well-being. You are so deserving of living in harmony with your visions of health, wealth, and happiness.

I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. I pursued my graduate degree from Adler University and graduated with a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have received mentorship and training from the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association to provide EMDR therapy for various client needs as well as received training and certification as a Sex Therapy Informed Professional.

Additionally, I am Reiki Master, offering distance reiki and spiritual guidance sessions as a standalone wellness service or offered in session for interested clients. I love utilizing a blended approach to counseling to best serve diverse client needs with a primary focus on trauma, ADHD, and sex therapy.

I am of Colombian, Mexican, and Japanese descent and am honored to practice in the ancestral wisdom of healing.
