Meet Alexa Rodriguez

As your counselor, I am here to walk alongside you through everything life brings. It is my joy and passion to care for your struggles, while guiding you to reach your goals for positive change. My specific area of focus is treating anxiety, low self-worth, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As we work together, we will seek to develop coping skills, manage emotions, and empower you to make choices.

I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lancaster Bible College, and am a Pre-Licensed Professional Counselor. I have experience working with young adults who encounter various life challenges and mental health struggles. I also enjoy working with children and teenagers, as they navigate challenges in school and life transitions as well. Although my training is from a Christian perspective of counseling, I highly value my client's beliefs and culture. In other words, it is your choice if you would like to have faith-based counseling.

When you step into the counseling room with me, my goal is to establish a safe space for you to be open and express yourself. You are welcome to come as you are, and there is no judgement. In therapy, we may discuss your past life experiences using a Psychodynamic approach, as I believe what we go through in the past can shape who we are in the present. We may also dive deep into emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs, as I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide you through challenges with anxiety, depression, and identity struggles. Although I have specific interventions and theories I utilize for clients, my goal is to consider the individual needs of my clients and constantly grow in my skills as your counselor.

I was born in New York City, but raised here in Lancaster, PA. I have come to love both the city and country! Some of my favorite hobbies include spending time with friends and family, going on walks, cooking, bargain shopping, and drinking coffee. I look forward to working with you!
