Brittney Rodriguez, MA
Doctoral Psychology Associate
I am currently a Psychology Associate at the St. Petersburg Holistic Psychology Clinic supervised by Dr. Kimberly Carnall, receiving my Doctorate Degree (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology from the Florida School of Professional Psychology at National Louis University, an APA accredited program. I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology from Florida International University. I also hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology.
I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, with a special passion for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults. My clinical interests include body image concerns, eating disorders, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, OCD, and personality disorders. I use an integrative therapeutic approach, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of my clients while drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities.
Creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all clients is central to my work. I am especially committed to ensuring that diverse populations and LGBTQ+ individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered in the therapeutic process. I strive to build genuine, relaxed, and collaborative relationships, with a few laughs along the way, so clients can feel comfortable exploring their challenges and strengths. It's a privilege to walk alongside clients on their path to healing, growth, and self-discovery. I am so excited to work with you!
