Tasneem Rodriguez, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

You may be struggling with anxiety, unresolved trauma, or the exhaustion that comes with navigating cultural transition, identity, and belonging. You may have been managing it well enough for a long time. At some point, managing is no longer sufficient. I am a licensed psychologist, born in South Africa, and a first-generation college student in the United States, and that background is not incidental to my clinical work. I understand from the inside what it means to carry multiple cultural contexts, negotiate belonging, and build a life across worlds. I work with adults and teenagers facing anxiety, trauma, acculturation stress, and identity-related distress, with particular attunement to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities and Muslim clients for whom faith and cultural context are inseparable from the work. I also work with women navigating the emotional complexity of fertility treatment and assisted reproduction. My approach is relational and unhurried. I pay attention to history, patterns, and the cultural forces that shape a person’s inner life. This type of work is serious and the change is real, but it takes time and genuine engagement from both sides of the room.
