Dr. Rodriguez founded Care Counseling Center, a facility dedicated to providing mental health counseling for individuals, children, families, and couples facing various emotional challenges and traumas.

The center offers specialized counseling services addressing family dynamics, depression, cultural adjustment, and discrimination. Their compassionate approach, rooted in firsthand understanding, focuses on providing individualized support to help clients heal, grow, and thrive despite life's challenges.

The center offers counseling, immigration, and social services. Dr. Rodriguez believes radical change is essential for immigrants to lead happier, healthier lives. To support this vision, she provides specialized mental health solutions tailored to the unique needs of immigrant communities, which often face challenges such as mental health struggles, cultural adjustment, and discrimination.

In addition to being a clinical mental health professional, Dr Rodriguez has excelled in managerial and leadership positions, providing clinical supervision and spearheading community outreach projects.
