Duniaska (Dunia) Rodriguez
Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Do you ever feel overwhelmed or disconnected, as though you’re carrying more than you can name? Are you longing for deeper connection, clarity, or a renewed sense of direction?
I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Sometimes, however, we all need support to untangle complex emotional experiences and rediscover a more empowered version of ourselves. With over five years of experience in domestic violence work, I bring a compassionate, curious, collaborative, and non-judgmental presence to the therapy room—grounded in warmth, authenticity, and emotional attunement—to accompany you on your healing path. I provide inclusive, trauma-informed care for individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, anger management concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and unresolved relational wounds.
My work is rooted in psychodynamic and body-centered approaches, helping you explore how early attachment experiences and internalized relational patterns may be shaping current emotional pain, relationship difficulties, and even how distress is held in the body. I also work from an integrative perspective and, when appropriate, draw on narrative therapy, Gestalt therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method for couples—always tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals.
Whether you are seeking a safe space to process pain in healthier ways, reconnect with yourself and others, or be gently challenged to step into new possibilities, we can work together to create a therapeutic relationship that supports emotional resilience, self-compassion, repair, and meaningful change.
If this resonates with you, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how counselling might help you.
