About Us
Rodrigo Ney Franco
I have nine years working as a therapist. I first started practicing on the East coast in 2011 and have been practicing in the San Diego area since 2014. I feel fortunate to have had the experience of serving people in the communities in which I live in. My motivation has been to see the clients that I have worked with move forward with a better sense of purpose in their lives.
I believe a distinctive quality in my practice has been developing a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance. This is the basis for trust, crucial component needed to address issues, which many times are not easy to work out. This allows for an easier flow and resolution of psychological/emotional issues at hand.
Usually during the initial visit, an assessment is completed which allows us to have a baseline, as well as a therapeutic goal based each individual’s needs. I believe it is important to set goals and readjust them accordingly to new circumstance (for example, current isolation some of us might be experiencing). I enjoy different therapeutic approaches, among others Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-focused therapy. I have extensive knowledge and experience addressing issues such as substance use, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and geriatric therapy.
