Therapy, differently.
About
Ryan Rodriguez, JD, MA, LPC, LCDC
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who grew up in the Park Cities area of Dallas, Texas. I have bachelor degrees in sociology and government from The University of Texas at Austin; a juris doctor from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law; and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Northwestern University. However, I am known for saying that my experience is my best education! I'm a therapist who has "been there, done that," with both positive experiences and personal and mental health challenges.

My 3,000 post-grad hours were spent learning from and working alongside several nationally-renowned clinicians. During this time I gained experience working with adolescents and adults in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, codependency, traumatic brain injury, and substance abuse. I also have extended experience working with couples to improve communication, reestablish trust, and rebuild after betrayal. I have provided counseling for several sober living houses, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and in private practice. I developed the curriculum for one of the IOPs and was a large contributor to the curriculum at another. Since becoming fully licensed, I have expanded my therapeutic practice to include ancillary services, including drug and alcohol interventions (I currently have a 100% success rate), drug and alcohol evaluations, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I also own and operate Revolve Wellness Collective, a one-stop shop for mental health and whole body wellness. Revolve currently has a psychiatric nurse practitioner, functional and integrative medicine provider, therapists for all ages and issues, and coaches. I run my counseling practice out of Revolve's office conveniently located in Preston Center.
My holistic approach focuses on cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual health as equally important parts of a single system. In session I tend to utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), psychodynamic counseling, psychoanalysis, and attachment theory most frequently, but I will also utilize eye-movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and Twelve Step framework when indicated as appropriate. I recently became certified as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician and Art Therapy Practitioner. I firmly believe that any constellation of difficult experiences and circumstances can be transformed into a joyful, meaningful life...I have experienced this result myself, and many of my patients have reported this as well!

I currently have a House Bill filed to be voted on in the 2027 legislative session in Texas that addresses certain gaps in the abilities of Texas Department of Family Protective Services.
In my free time, I enjoy creating quirky art through a variety of mediums, spending time with my husband and daughter, and playing with our feisty dachshunds, Luna and Lola.
