Rodríguez, PsyD, is a first-generation college graduate and psychoanalytic psychologist in private practice. His pursuit of a college degree took him 15 years, spanning four community colleges, including Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California; two 4-year universities, including San Francisco State University, where he completed his bachelor's degree at the age of 32; and 4 years of graduate school at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, where he earned an MA and PsyD. In his practice and scholarly work, Dr. Rodríguez is interested in the study of first-generation college students, multiracial identities, the intersection of race/ethnicity and class, and the connections between music and clinical work. He is a board member of Psychotherapy Action Network, an organization that advocates for therapies of depth, insight, and relationship.
