Kati Rodriguez (she/they)

My Approach to Helping

Hi! My name is Kati ‘kaa-tee’ and I am a first-generation Mexican-American, former foster youth from rural Eastern Oregon. I am a graduate student in the marriage, family, and couples therapy program at Portland State University. We all deserve safety in discomfort. Therapy can be an uncomfortable process—it makes you hold, confront, analyze, and release patterns, thoughts, and ways of being that have protected and served you in moments of trauma, pain, joy, and love. I believe we are an interconnected whole meaning we are intimately linked and influenced by our body, mind, family, community, ancestors, the earth, and societal structures/expectations. If you are interested in working with me, please fill out Portland Therapy Project’s Client Intake Form at the website linked at the top of this profile. You will find the Intake Form towards the bottom of the “Clients” page. Our office administrator will be in touch with you to schedule an appointment when I have availability.
