Headshot of smiling therapist

Hi, I’m Lora Rodriguez.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota.

A few fun facts: Boy mom. My dog, Benji, loves to take me on walks. I love good coffee! I could talk about coffee all day long, so don’t get me started unless you really mean it. I am a secret introvert, but love people. I love being outside and doing all of the things. I watched every episode of The Office twice in 2020. This and watching Schitt’s Creek was my therapy! Also going to therapy is my therapy. Also, my swear word coloring book is my therapy.

How I work with clients:

  • My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I will walk with you through your struggles as well as notice and celebrate your resilience.

  • I draw from various therapy modalities, depending on what works best for the individual. Some of the main models that I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).

  • I love being creative with my clients! I started out as a singer (I have a bachelor’s degree in Music) before deciding to become a therapist. Sometimes talk therapy is hard, and we can work through things with music, art, and writing.

  • All of who you are is welcome here.
