Welcome To The Intentional Conversation
A Trauma-Informed Approach
Your journey and the challenges you've faced have shaped who you are today. We deeply recognize how early experiences - particularly difficult ones - can influence every aspect of life. The ways you've learned to cope and protect yourself were essential survival tools, born out of circumstances that may have felt impossible to navigate.
Your story matters to us.
We want to understand not just what you've endured, but also the remarkable strength and resilience you've developed along the way. Through it all, you've built an incredible set of skills and insights.
We're here to honor both your struggles and your triumphs, walking alongside you as you write the next chapters of your story.
Establishing Safety and Collaboration
Your comfort and sense of safety guide our journey together. We believe in moving at your pace, taking each step when you're ready. Think of our work together as a collaborative partnership - you're in the driver's seat, helping us understand what you need and where you hope to go.
We're attentive listeners, always tuning in to what feels right (or doesn't) for you.
Your inner wisdom and personal boundaries are our compass. When something doesn't feel quite right, we pause, adjust, and find a path forward that honors your comfort level.
Here, you'll never be rushed or pressured - this is your space to explore and heal in a way that feels genuinely right for you.
A Secure Base for Healing and Growth
Deep within you lies an incredible capacity for healing and growth. Like a seed pushing through soil toward sunlight, this natural wisdom knows the way forward - even if that path has been hidden or difficult to trust.
We walk this healing journey with gentle patience, understanding that changing long-held patterns can feel unsettling at first.
Every part of you - whether it's the part that withdraws to protect, the part that fights to defend, or the part that tries to please others to stay safe - deserves understanding and care.
These responses helped you survive, and we honor them while exploring new ways of being.
In our work together, you'll find a safe harbor - a place where you can gradually rewrite old stories and discover new ways of experiencing yourself and the world. Through our caring therapeutic relationship, we can gently reshape those deep imprints left by difficult experiences, helping you move toward the life you envision.
Welcome to a Space Where You Belong
Transformative Trauma-Informed Therapy with Dr. Felishatee Rodriguez
Taking this first step takes courage. I see you, and I honor your bravery in considering this journey toward healing. The path ahead may feel uncertain -opening up to someone new, facing what feels overwhelming, finding words for the unspoken. But you don't have to walk this path alone.
Here, you'll find a space where every part of your story matters. Together, we'll quiet those inner critics that have kept you small. We'll gently unwrap layers of shame, making room for self-compassion to grow. There's space here for all of it - your doubts, your hopes, your struggles, and your strengths.
As your therapist, I bring both expertise and heart to our work together. My passion lies in helping you rediscover your own inner wisdom and power. In our sessions, you'll learn to listen to your body, honor your needs, and claim the space you deserve in this world. Step by step, we'll craft a new story - one where you're the author of your own life, where self-care replaces self-criticism, and where you can finally breathe freely as your authentic self.

Mapping New Meaning with Transitions
I understand how hard it can be when responsibilities start piling up. Before you know it, you have ten different things demanding your attention, pulling you every which way. It seems like the moment you cross one task off, three more get added to your to-do list. Your to-do list keeps getting longer while your energy and capacity are getting shorter.
Days feel packed to the brim, often seeping into sleepless nights. And, it starts to feel like it’s all on your shoulders—every task and commitment is solely yours to carry.
Responsibilities have accumulated relentlessly until even finding space to breathe feels impossible. Daily responsibilities continue to increase, while your available time and energy diminish - you're exerting more effort, yet falling increasingly behind.
Ready for a Different Way?
Let's start exactly where you are. Together, we'll untangle this web of overwhelm, one thread at a time. We'll discover what truly matters to you and build a life that feels spacious instead of suffocating. No quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions – just real, lasting change that works for your unique situation.
Small steps. Real progress. Your pace.
Your Story Has a Safe Home Here
Taking that first step into therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown. Perhaps you're wondering if anyone could truly understand, or if you'll spend countless sessions just trying to explain who you are and how you got here.
Here's what I want you to know: This space is different.
Think of our sessions as gentle explorations rather than explanations. Like holding up a mirror that reflects not just what's on the surface, but the deeper currents of who you are. Here, your thoughts and feelings can finally breathe – sometimes for the first time. As you speak your truth aloud, patterns emerge, insights surface, and new possibilities come into view.
I'm not here to fit you into predetermined boxes. Instead, I'm here to walk alongside you as you discover your own inner wisdom. Sometimes the most profound revelations come not from my insights, but from hearing yourself speak your story in a space where you feel truly heard.
This journey isn't about explaining yourself to me – it's about uncovering the authentic you that's been waiting to be heard. Together, we'll explore the landscapes of your experiences, your relationships, your dreams, and yes, even your struggles. But we'll do it at your pace, honoring your process every step of the way.
Ready to Begin?
Your story matters. Let's create a space where it can unfold naturally, where understanding grows organically, and where healing happens on your terms.
Finding Your Way Forward: Trauma Counseling That Makes Sense
You already have the answers within you - sometimes they're just hard to hear under all of life's noise. Like finding a clear signal through static, our work together helps you tune into your own inner knowing. That quiet voice that whispers "something needs to change"? It's worth listening to.
Your story didn't begin with you. It flows through generations, through family patterns, through the communities that shaped you. These influences have left their fingerprints on how you see yourself, how you move through relationships, and how you navigate life's challenges. Some of these imprints may show up as anxiety that grips your chest, as critical voices that echo in quiet moments, or as trauma held deep in your body's memory.
These influences show up in everyday moments - in the anxiety that spikes during meetings, the self-doubt that creeps in during decisions, or the walls that rise up in close relationships.
In our sessions, we get practical about healing. We'll work with strategies that target how stress and trauma live in your body and mind. No rushed timelines or pressure - just steady progress at a pace that works for you. Think of it as decluttering your emotional space: we'll sort through what's weighing you down and make room for what helps you thrive.
Maybe you're tired of feeling stuck in old patterns. Perhaps you've noticed yourself saying "yes" when you want to say "no," or holding back when you want to step forward. You might be realizing that those coping strategies that got you through tough times aren't serving you anymore.
Ready to Make a Change?
Let's work together to clear the path forward. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, processing trauma, or seeking more authentic relationships, we'll tackle it step by step, using approaches that actually make sense for your life.
Let’s Work Together
Picture sitting down with someone who gets it - someone who brings both expertise and real human connection to every session. That's what you'll find here with me.
As a proud Latinx and LGBTQIA+ therapist with over a decade of experience, I bring my whole self to our work together, blending professional insight with genuine warmth (and yes, sometimes a good laugh when we need it!).
I've dedicated my career to understanding how past experiences shape our present challenges. Whether you're working through trauma, navigating anxiety, moving through depression, untangling family dynamics, or facing major life changes, I'm here to walk alongside you with understanding and practical support.
My approach? Think of it as having a knowledgeable guide who's both professionally skilled and genuinely human. I believe healing happens best when we can be real with each other - sharing both the heavy moments and the light ones. Together, we'll tackle your challenges head-on while celebrating every victory, big or small, along the way.
When you're ready to take that first step, I'm here to help you create the life you envision - one where you feel more like yourself, more in control, and more alive with possibilities.
Ready to Begin?
Let's start this journey together. Your story matters, and I'd be honored to help you write its next chapters.

The Person Behind the Professional
Life has a beautiful way of shaping us, doesn't it? My journey – from a little girl in Brooklyn to the therapist I am today – has been colored by rich cultural heritage, meaningful relationships, and countless moments of growth. Being Puerto Rican isn't just about where my family comes from; it's the stories we share, and the values that guide me both personally and professionally.
When I'm not in the therapy room, you might find me:
Visiting NYC (particularly Brooklyn) , where my heart first learned to dream big
Getting creative with makeup and fashion (because self-expression is a form of joy!)
Making my space beautiful, whether that's perfecting my organizing systems or trying out new home décor ideas
Curled up with a good book, cozy blanket, and the perfect cup of coffee
Planning for fall – my favorite season brings out my most creative side
Cooking up traditional Puerto Rican dishes with my partner and family, because some stories are best told through flavors
Unwinding with shows that make me think, feel, and sometimes just laugh (Gilmore Girls, Law & Order: SVU, Bold Type, Pose, 90 Day Fiance, and Catfish: The TV Show)
I believe that being a good therapist means taking care of myself too. That's why you'll often find me practicing what I teach my clients about self-care – it's not just about bubble baths and face masks (though I love those too!), but about creating spaces and moments that truly nourish my soul.
These pieces of my life aren't just hobbies – they're the well I draw from to bring authenticity, cultural understanding, and real-world wisdom to our work together. They remind me that we're all wonderfully complex humans, each with our own special blend of experiences and joys that make us who we are.
I bring this whole, authentic self to our therapeutic relationship – someone who understands that healing happens best when we can be real with each other, celebrate our cultures, and honor all the parts of our stories.
I’m so glad you’ve found me.
I help clients overcome:
Complex Trauma/PTSD
Generational Trauma
Anxiety/Stress/Depression
Life Transitions
Additionally, I support clients with:
Imposter Syndrome
Creating & Maintaining Meaningful Boundaries
Navigating Gender/Racial/Cultural Identities
Navigating Family/Social/Work Relationships
What's Possible:
Finally feeling at home in your own skin
Trusting your voice and your choices
Building relationships that respect your boundaries
Moving from surviving to truly thriving
Whether you're taking your first steps toward healing or continuing your growth journey, we'll find the right path forward - one that honors your experiences and empowers your future.
"Life transitions are our biggest opportunities for growth. They push us to become the fierce heroes of our own stories."
-Elaine Welteroth
