My Ideal Client

To get started click **SCHEDULE NOW** above and complete a PATIENT INQUIRY FORM. Visit **** https://www.ohsu.edu/providers/mikaela-rodriguez-md **** to view my client ratings. ACCEPTING new clients for ADHD evaluations, psychotherapy for ADHD as the primary issue (common secondary issues we can also work on include anxiety, depression, cannabis/alcohol use, and insomnia), and medication management (not prescribing stimulants or benzodiazepines, can make recs for starting/optimizing these)

My Approach to Helping

---> I offer collaborative, empathetic, and evidence-based medication management and psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, cannabis & alcohol-related issues, insomnia and sleep problems, phobias, hair-pulling/skin-picking behaviors, and more. . . . ---> I also offer comprehensive diagnostic ADHD evaluations (2 hours+). . . . ---> ADHD Therapy: I specialize in helping individuals develop skills to overcome ADHD-related challenges (e.g., time management, organization, planning, motivation, procrastination, and more) while also addressing the shame and feelings of inadequacy that often accompany ADHD (incorporating techniques from CBT & ACT). ---> Wondering if you have ADHD because adulting seems so much harder than it should be? Frustrated by forgetfulness and procrastination? Struggling with imposter syndrome? Feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Depressed? I can help --->

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

---> I offer appointments online via secure video Monday's-Thursday's 8 am - 330 pm. Established clients can schedule and cancel their appointments online through their secure patient portal. . . . ---> Due to my psychiatry practice being virtual-only I do not currently prescribe controlled substances (stimulants, benzodiazepines). I can collaborate with your PCP, sharing detailed recs for how/why to start a stimulant, if needed. . . . ---> To increase my availability to those unable to access care outside of insurance, I am not accepting new cash-pay or OOP clients. I am in-network with Pacific Source, Moda, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield commercial plans only (not OHP, Medicare). . . .

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • ADHD External link
  • Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependence External link

    I offer recovery-oriented psychotherapy and medication management for alcohol-related concerns. I typically prescribe naltrexone and non-habit forming medications to help with insomnia, anxiety, and depression (such as propranolol, hydroxyzine, and antidepressants). I am not a good fit for clients who need benzodiazepines, have required medical detox for seizures or other withdrawal-related concerns in the past year, or who have been discharged from a residential program in the past 3 months.

  • Insomnia External link

    I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and I prescribe non-habit forming sleep aids.
