Adriana Rodriguez, LMFT

Therapist | Professor | Podcaster | Educator | Community Builder
Generational Healing | First-Gen Experiences | Relationships & Identity

Welcome! I’m Adriana Rodriguez, a licensed psychotherapist, professor, and experienced speaker dedicated to generational healing, self-awareness, and community care. With a background in community mental health, education, and advocacy, I specialize in supporting first-gen professionals, adult children of immigrants, and those navigating complex family dynamics.

In my work, I integrate systems thinking, Bowen theory, psychodynamic approaches, and mindfulness to help individuals, couples, and families break intergenerational cycles and build relationships that thrive.

As an educator and speaker, I lead conversations on mental health, cultural identity, relational healing, and systemic influences on well-being. My experience in higher education, training, and community-based initiatives allows me to bridge academic insights with real-world, culturally rooted practices.
