Brandon Sandate Rodriguez, MA, LMFT, Therapist in Riverside, California

Brandon Alexis Rodriguez helps adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors across California navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at LifeStance Health, he provides individual therapy tailored to each person’s goals—whether they are managing anxiety, working through depression, or rebuilding after trauma. Serving clients throughout CA, he offers a grounded and culturally responsive approach designed to foster insight, resilience, and meaningful change. Brandon specializes in treating Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD/Trauma, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop practical coping skills and long-term emotional regulation. He works with teens (15–17), young adults, adults, and older adults who may be experiencing midlife transitions, later life adjustments, or the cumulative impact of stress. His work often supports individuals from the LGBTQ+ community and those on the Autism Spectrum, while also offering additional areas of focus to meet diverse mental health needs. With a strong commitment to culturally informed therapy, Brandon creates a space where identity, lived experience, and personal values are honored. He is particularly attentive to the ways culture, gender identity, and family dynamics shape mental health. Through mindfulness-based strategies and structured therapeutic interventions, he helps clients reduce symptoms, improve self-esteem, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Brandon is bilingual in Spanish and brings warmth and authenticity into his clinical work. Outside of therapy, he enjoys spending time with his family and loved ones, traveling to explore different countries and communities, and deepening his understanding of diverse cultures—experiences that enrich his perspective as a therapist.
