I’m the founder of Intuitive Healing Psychotherapy and a Clinical Social Work Specialist licensed by the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers since 2016. I’m deeply committed to providing attuned, evidence-informed care to individuals, children, couples, and families.
I support people of all ages and specialize in child and family therapy, helping families navigate challenges with greater connection, understanding, and resilience. My work is grounded in a deep respect for the unique needs of each child and the dynamics of the family system.
I draw on specialized training in EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Emotionally Focused Couple and Family Therapy, and Play Therapy to support clients through a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, parenting stress, or relationship struggles, I tailor each session to meet your specific needs and goals.

Hello! I am Larissa Rodriguez, a Registered Social Worker with the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers. I work with clients of all ages, offering support through life’s challenges with compassion. At the heart of my work is a person-centered approach. I believe you’re the expert on your own life, and I’m here to support your journey with warmth, respect, and care. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in connection. Connection with ourselves, with others, and within a safe and respectful therapeutic relationship. I bring specialized training in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and play therapy which allows me to meet children, youth, adults, and families where they are, in ways that feel accessible, age-appropriate, and meaningful.
With a background in supporting young people and families navigating complex emotional experiences and systems of care, I understand the importance of advocacy, attunement, and creating spaces where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued. I strive to build a welcoming and inclusive environment where people can explore their stories, grow their inner resilience, and move toward healing at their own pace.

I’m Emily, a Clinical Social Work Specialist registered with the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers since 2016. I’m excited to be offering therapy for adolescents (12+), adults, couples, and families. With nine years of experience as a social worker, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through many different life experiences, and I’m passionate about helping clients feel seen, heard, and supported.
As a queer, trauma-informed therapist, I approach my work from a strengths-based perspective. I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they have, and that you are the expert of your own story. In therapy, I strive to create a space where safety, trust, compassion, and non-judgment are at the heart of our work together.
I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Good Psychiatric Management (GPM), Motivational Interviewing, and Gender-Affirming Care. I am especially passionate about supporting trans and gender-diverse clients, which can include exploring social or legal transition goals, building a strong sense of self, or preparing for gender-affirming treatments. I am also trained to provide readiness assessments and referral documentation following the WPATH Standards of Care to help clients take the next steps in their transition if they choose.
Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, identity exploration, or other concerns, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you in your healing journey.
