About me
While working in a children's residential facility for four years, I had the great pleasure to meet some of the most brave, resilient, and insightful people, who also happened to be teens. They taught me a great deal. One thing I observed, at times though, was that at times they weren't taken seriously by others because of their youth. No one knows more about a person's life than the person who has lived it. Because of this, I would like to help you achieve your goals in the forms of creative coping, problem solving, and feelings management, plus more. I look forward to meeting you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joni Rodriguez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
She's the best! Not only does she help me talk about my struggles, but I know if I dump a huge rant on her or on my journal for her- she will read it. Give some words of advice/ encouragements/ support, depending on the situation, and she will reach out about it during our session. She's excellent about reminding me to schedule my sessions and understanding about my Autistic and ADHD struggles. I've missed more than a few sessions without feeling guilted. As long as I keep up my communication, it's a 2 way street based on respect. I adore her and only hope I do right as her patient. I know she's in my corner, she checks on me, she validates me, and sometimes she just listens. Sometimes that's all I need. But biggest thing for me is knowing that she's fighting for my best interests. I've been gaslight so much that just having that simple validation has been amazing on my psyche. I'm better for having known her.
Joni is excellent human being and professional. From day 1, she opened the room for great discussion between me and my partner. She helped us look at issues from a different perspective and I’m so glad we found her. I 100% recommend for anyone looking for couples’ therapy. Thank you Joni!
Joni is always considerate and empathetic. She listens to me. I feel like we connected immediately. I’m grateful that I have Joni to help me work through my issues.
I am so grateful for joining teen counseling and being matched with Joni. She’s an amazing therapist who listens and accepts me for who I’m trying to become. She’s helped me grow emotionally and move through my trauma at my pace. She gives me tools to help me through my difficult times and reminds me of my growth. My mental health would still be so dismal and poor if not for teen counseling and Joni.
Joni understood me completely starting from my very first message, and guided me expertly through my ups and downs. I can say she’s the best therapist I’ve had.
She is an amazing therapist. Highly recommend.
Joni is helping my spouse and me navigate marital issues with grace, patience, and humor. We are pleased.
Joni has been nothing but supportive from the very start. When I told her my initial concerns, she did everything that she could, even outside of our sessions, to help me. When I told her I was hoping to explore other avenues of therapy with her, she was enthusiastic and more than happy to continue our sessions. I have learned about myself more than I have in YEARS being with Joni. She always finds a way to help me understand things that I come up short in, and when I tell her my progress, she is extremely supportive and positive. I would recommend Joni to anyone and everyone.
She has kept in touch and ensured she has time available when we are ready.
Joni is great - she puts you at ease, very relaxed and relatable and provides great insight.
Joni is a very sweet and understanding therapist who invests a deep care in her natural state. Conversations are easy to get through as she knows exactly what to say! I admire her heart and kind words. Thank you Joni!
Joni has been helping me for little over a month. I have borderline and am in recovery for eating disorders. I’m also suffering with panick attacks. However she’s has been helping me learn to cope through the hard days and to achieve good days. She always brings me a sense of calm and back to reality when my anxiety takes over. I highly recommend her
Ms. Rodriguez is very friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I would recommend her.
Joni has been so fantastic! Very understanding, experienced and fair in her insights. Even after our first session I felt like progress was made. Thankyou Joni!
I think Joni is a really good therapist. She listens to you, and gives you advice and consolation, but isn’t afraid to tell you you’re in the wrong. She helped me find out more about myself while helping me with coping mechanisms for my anxiety and depression. I would definitely recommend Joni.
she’s amazing! she’s easy to talk to, helpful with advice, and not afraid to tell me when i’m the problem.
Joni is wonderful. She really listens to me and gives me information to help. No judgement or criticism just helpful tips, advice, or just simply a listening ear when needed.
We've just now begun the process of getting started up with therapy and I'm already very happy with Joni... She was the perfect match for me, and her down to earth way about how she carries herself makes very easy for me to open up to her!
Joni is a wonderful and kind person, and I’m very happy that she was my first experience with a therapist. After only a few months, I had settled everything that I was facing and have never felt better. I cannot recommend Joni enough!
Joni is amazing. She always listens and helps me keep track of where I'm going. We're finding all the things I need help with!
Join is empathetic, kind and an intuitive therapist. If you need understanding and guidance that will lead you on a path to healing, I recommend Joni
Joni helped me with managing depression and other difficult parts of my life. She is very nice to talk to and I would recommend her to everyone!
Joni has been a positive addition to my quest for transformation.
Joni has been great. She is empathetic but also doesn't let me get away with any crap, which I personally need and appreciate. She's funny and I was immediately comfortable, which is saying something as I was very nervous and tend to be pretty shy. She's practical and supportive and hilarious too.
A great doctor who understands LGBTQi+ individuals who have drug addiction problems.
Joni is understanding, kind, and down to earth. I feel supported as I work through the things that brought me to seek help. I would highly recommend working with her. I have a long way to go but I am already able to communicate with my loved ones a lot easier. Thank you Joni!!!
Joni allows me to speak freely and really lets me dig deep into my brain. She offers many things to say to myself throughout the week that have saved me. She gives me an alternative narrative to look at things with that have made difficult situations so much lighter. Thank you!
Wasn’t sure how much I was going to like this type of therapy. I wasn’t sure I could relate to someone that I didn’t know and lived far away. And then I saw her and I didn’t know what to think. She’s very unique but when she opened her mouth I knew that I could relate to her. Joni is very skilled and I’m very happy to have her as my therapist
Joni Rodriguez is such a great listener and so east to connect with. Joni Rodriguez gives me goals every week that feel attainable and lots of resources. I feel like I am truly making progress and therapy has been such a positive experience.
Joni responds in a timely manner. She shows that she has read and is acknowledging my concerns. She helps me find solutions and lets me work around some of them for myself. Joni is doing a fantastic job.
