Professional statement

Mental health is like any muscle or vital organ in your body. It requires check ups and routine maintenance in order to stay strong. Life is full of peaks and valleys that we are often not prepared for and it is helpful to have someone to help guide you out of uncertainty. As a licensed professional therapist, Edward Rodrigues can help guide you. Mr. Rodrigues offers a unique treatment perspective for individuals of all ages - specializing in the African American experience. His goal is to remind you of your greatness and help you tap into your boundless potential.

Mr. Rodrigues has 7+ years experience working with children and families, LGBTQ+ communities, individuals experiencing grief and loss, traumas, life transitions, and relationship challenges. He utilizes cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and strength-based techniques and he also offers unique ways for you to tap into your creativity in your healing.

No matter where you come from or what you've experienced, you don't have to go through this life journey alone. Let's discover your happiness and self-fulfillment together.


Message to clients

You've done a great job making it this far, and actually searching for the help you need with life's problems. I make a personal effort to meet you where you are (figuratively) and to not confuse you with a lot of fancy language when trying to help you understand what's going on. You are still in the driver's seat and I will be your co-pilot, providing you with feedback and a safe space to think out loud. I primarily see my clients via telehealth, but if they are children I am willing to see them in person for optimal engagement.

Family therapy and couples therapy are also options for you if needed. I'm looking forward to us working together and the excellence we will achieve!
