About me
While working in a children's residential facility for four years, I had the great pleasure to meet some of the most brave, resilient, and insightful people, who also happened to be teens. They taught me a great deal. One thing I observed, at times though, was that at times they weren't taken seriously by others because of their youth. No one knows more about a person's life than the person who has lived it. Because of this, I would like to help you achieve your goals in the forms of creative coping, problem solving, and feelings management, plus more. I look forward to meeting you!

She is amazing!
I have the ongoing privilege of working with Joni Rodriguez, and I can’t speak highly enough about the positive impact she has had on my life. From the very first session, I felt understood and supported. Joni's expertise in PTSD and trauma is evident, and her ability to tailor her therapeutic approach to my specific needs made all the difference.
Joni's approach is both compassionate and empowering, and I always feel like an active participant in my healing journey. She has a deep understanding of grief and loss, which resonated with me on a personal level and her empathetic perspective that truly sets her apart.
What I appreciate most about Joni is her genuine commitment to my well-being. She not only guides me through my struggles but also provided me with the tools and knowledge to continue growing and healing outside of our sessions. Her professionalism, combined with her warm and approachable demeanor, creates a safe and trusting environment where I feel comfortable opening up and working through some of my most challenging issues.
I highly recommend Joni to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only skilled but also deeply caring and dedicated. My experience with her has been transformative, and I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance she provides.
Joni is pleasant and attentive to my situation. She gives sound advice and provides options on coping with various issues. She’s also encouraging and patient, allowing me to speak my mind freely. Glad to have her as my therapist.
Very personable and easy to talk to
Ms. Rodriguez is an outstanding, highly professional therapist. I´ve been both a provider and consumer of therapy for 30+ years and she is in the to 5%.
I would highly recommend Joni to anyone looking for a professional therapist. Joni is very responsive and insightful. Always works with me and my crazy schedule, and provides me with great therapeutic help. Always has great articles or worksheets to help me overcome several issues. 5/5 stars!
Joni's training AND lived experience make her an excellent fit for me. She's my third therapist, and already (4 sessions in), she has offered me more tools and drawn me out more than my previous therapists. I trust her to gently confront me (I specifically asked for her to do that), and she makes me feel safe to tell her everything.
Joni is a godsend. She is extremely easy to talk to and has an innate way of making you feel seen and understood from the very first session. She talks with you, never at you, and listens to everything you might be carrying with you on a particular session. She is kind and gentle, even around the more rough topics. My spouse and I always leave our couple's sessions hopeful and with a deeper understanding of each other. She has quite literally strengthened our marriage, for which we are forever grateful for.
I have just started my treatment with Joni but she's been absolutely incredible so far. While being very gentle and friendly, she is supportive but also a great source of information and skills to help aid me with my issues. This is the first time I have actually enjoyed working with a therapist and truly feel like she will be able to help me with my issues and help me become a happier person because of it.
She is absolutely wonderful and very easy to talk to.
Joni is attentive to my concerns and at the end of our sessions I always feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Joni is a great therapist. She makes me feel comfortable, heard and respected. She helps me work through my issues and address challenges.
Joni is a great therapist. She’s positive, understanding, sympathetic and empathetic, supportive and gentle in her pushing me to keep moving forward in this new, often scary chapter of my life.
The best support as always
She's the best! Not only does she help me talk about my struggles, but I know if I dump a huge rant on her or on my journal for her- she will read it. Give some words of advice/ encouragements/ support, depending on the situation, and she will reach out about it during our session. She's excellent about reminding me to schedule my sessions and understanding about my Autistic and ADHD struggles. I've missed more than a few sessions without feeling guilted. As long as I keep up my communication, it's a 2 way street based on respect. I adore her and only hope I do right as her patient. I know she's in my corner, she checks on me, she validates me, and sometimes she just listens. Sometimes that's all I need. But biggest thing for me is knowing that she's fighting for my best interests. I've been gaslight so much that just having that simple validation has been amazing on my psyche. I'm better for having known her.
Joni is excellent human being and professional. From day 1, she opened the room for great discussion between me and my partner. She helped us look at issues from a different perspective and I’m so glad we found her. I 100% recommend for anyone looking for couples’ therapy. Thank you Joni!
Joni understood me completely starting from my very first message, and guided me expertly through my ups and downs. I can say she’s the best therapist I’ve had.
She is an amazing therapist. Highly recommend.
Joni is helping my spouse and me navigate marital issues with grace, patience, and humor. We are pleased.
Joni has been nothing but supportive from the very start. When I told her my initial concerns, she did everything that she could, even outside of our sessions, to help me. When I told her I was hoping to explore other avenues of therapy with her, she was enthusiastic and more than happy to continue our sessions. I have learned about myself more than I have in YEARS being with Joni. She always finds a way to help me understand things that I come up short in, and when I tell her my progress, she is extremely supportive and positive. I would recommend Joni to anyone and everyone.
She has kept in touch and ensured she has time available when we are ready.
Joni is great - she puts you at ease, very relaxed and relatable and provides great insight.
Joni is a very sweet and understanding therapist who invests a deep care in her natural state. Conversations are easy to get through as she knows exactly what to say! I admire her heart and kind words. Thank you Joni!
Joni has been helping me for little over a month. I have borderline and am in recovery for eating disorders. I’m also suffering with panick attacks. However she’s has been helping me learn to cope through the hard days and to achieve good days. She always brings me a sense of calm and back to reality when my anxiety takes over. I highly recommend her
Ms. Rodriguez is very friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I would recommend her.
Joni has been so fantastic! Very understanding, experienced and fair in her insights. Even after our first session I felt like progress was made. Thankyou Joni!
I think Joni is a really good therapist. She listens to you, and gives you advice and consolation, but isn’t afraid to tell you you’re in the wrong. She helped me find out more about myself while helping me with coping mechanisms for my anxiety and depression. I would definitely recommend Joni.
she’s amazing! she’s easy to talk to, helpful with advice, and not afraid to tell me when i’m the problem.
Joni is wonderful. She really listens to me and gives me information to help. No judgement or criticism just helpful tips, advice, or just simply a listening ear when needed.
We've just now begun the process of getting started up with therapy and I'm already very happy with Joni... She was the perfect match for me, and her down to earth way about how she carries herself makes very easy for me to open up to her!
Joni is a wonderful and kind person, and I’m very happy that she was my first experience with a therapist. After only a few months, I had settled everything that I was facing and have never felt better. I cannot recommend Joni enough!
Joni is amazing. She always listens and helps me keep track of where I'm going. We're finding all the things I need help with!
Join is empathetic, kind and an intuitive therapist. If you need understanding and guidance that will lead you on a path to healing, I recommend Joni
Joni helped me with managing depression and other difficult parts of my life. She is very nice to talk to and I would recommend her to everyone!
Joni has been a positive addition to my quest for transformation.
Joni has been great. She is empathetic but also doesn't let me get away with any crap, which I personally need and appreciate. She's funny and I was immediately comfortable, which is saying something as I was very nervous and tend to be pretty shy. She's practical and supportive and hilarious too.
A great doctor who understands LGBTQi+ individuals who have drug addiction problems.
Joni is understanding, kind, and down to earth. I feel supported as I work through the things that brought me to seek help. I would highly recommend working with her. I have a long way to go but I am already able to communicate with my loved ones a lot easier. Thank you Joni!!!
Joni allows me to speak freely and really lets me dig deep into my brain. She offers many things to say to myself throughout the week that have saved me. She gives me an alternative narrative to look at things with that have made difficult situations so much lighter. Thank you!
Wasn’t sure how much I was going to like this type of therapy. I wasn’t sure I could relate to someone that I didn’t know and lived far away. And then I saw her and I didn’t know what to think. She’s very unique but when she opened her mouth I knew that I could relate to her. Joni is very skilled and I’m very happy to have her as my therapist
Joni Rodriguez is such a great listener and so east to connect with. Joni Rodriguez gives me goals every week that feel attainable and lots of resources. I feel like I am truly making progress and therapy has been such a positive experience.
Joni responds in a timely manner. She shows that she has read and is acknowledging my concerns. She helps me find solutions and lets me work around some of them for myself. Joni is doing a fantastic job.
