Tara Rodriquez, ASW
Associate Clinical Social Worker
Los Angeles CA
I see telehealth clients in California in the formats of individual integration work and psychotherapy, psychoeducation groups, and support groups. I see in-person clients for in-home ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions and group integration in the Los Angeles area. I also provide on-site harm reduction at music festivals as part of the NEST Harm Reduction team. As part of NEST, I am currently under the supervision of Erica Siegal, LCSW (CA #86622).
My listed fees are for a range of services from integration circle attendance to in-home ketamine sessions. My hourly rate for regular psychotherapy is $125 with a sliding scale if needed. I am happy to offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we click!
I have experience serving folks from all walks of life, and I'm familiar with and open to many non-mainstream lifestyles & identities. As someone with lived experience as a person who uses drugs (PWUD) and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the margins of society.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker who graduated with my MSW from The Ohio State University in the Mental Health and Substance Use specialization. I identify as a bisexual cis woman of mixed Mexican and white heritage with a lived experience of substance use issues and psychedelic-assisted recovery. My experiences have inspired me to devote my life to helping support others in their change and growth processes, and I recognize that psychedelics can be a useful tool on this journey. I have seven years of experience in crisis counseling, harm reduction psychedelic peer support, and psychedelic event organization, three years of experience being a therapist, and 30 years of experience interacting with psychedelics.
In my personal life, I enjoy hiking, foraging, gardening, cooking, yoga, dabbling in music-making, and spending time with animals of all kinds (but especially my two cats).
