Orlando Rodriguez is a Master of Social Work graduate from CSU-Pueblo, pursuing his LAC and LCSW licensure with aspirations to carry his lived experience of personal recovery into a career field emphasizing substance misuse and mental health treatment. He is a registered Certified Addictions Specialist and LCSW candidate working with co-occurring forensic populations. Orlando devotes his time to advocating for treatment and access to Substance Misuse and Mental Health treatment for the Pueblo community, challenging the stigma of each by sharing his personal experience. He believes in a humanistic approach to therapy that honors an individual’s cultural and spiritual diversity and values while incorporating several techniques such as CBT, DBT, trauma informed care, and ACT. Ultimately, he hopes to utilize his knowledge and experience to help empower individuals in joining them on their path to wellness. “I don’t see people as puzzles to solve; doing so is a disservice to them. Everyone is unique, each with their own experiences. Sometimes, we can get in the habit of telling people what’s the matter with them rather than taking the time to ask what happened to them; and that can make a world of difference.”
