Glimar “Glee” Rodriguez-Parilla

I am a bilingual (Spanish) clinical social worker with over 16 years of dedicated service in behavioral healthcare. My primary objective at this time is to provide support through therapeutic and coaching interventions. My passion extends beyond traditional therapeutic settings to include the integration of non-traditional spaces that promote well-being and foster therapeutic progress within social and community contexts. I believe in recognizing the intersectionality of individuals' experiences within society, allowing for a holistic approach to healing and growth.

I have successfully supported individuals navigating various life transitions, career changes, grief/loss, anxiety, trauma, and recovery from compulsive behaviors. Whether you are seeking to develop coping skills or simply seeking guidance in navigating life's complexities, I am here to assist. My ideal clients are those who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and are committed to addressing patterns that no longer serve them. With empathy and understanding, I meet each individual where they are, collaborating to identify areas for growth and positive change in their lives.

I am eager to hear about your wellness rituals and the small practices that bring solace during challenging times. Whether you have grand aspirations or are just starting to envision your path in this therapeutic space, I am here to guide and support you through your journey of self-discovery and growth. I firmly believe that we are the experts of our own experiences, capable of healing and evolving. My role is to serve as a compassionate companion through the obstacles that may arise during this process.

My clinical practice is deeply rooted in a holistic therapeutic framework, integrating trauma-informed approaches such as cultural humility and motivational interviewing, alongside person-centered and strengths-based methodologies. These approaches aim to uncover your core values, goals, and challenges, fostering a deeper understanding of your experience. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques like Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as mindfulness practices informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I also incorporate expressive and somatic psychology practices to further enhance therapeutic outcomes.

I look forward to learning and supporting you through this journey. Thank you for reviewing my profile.
