Alida Rodriguez is a student intern pursuing a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at NYU Steinhardt. She is passionate about supporting individuals navigating trauma, grief, identity exploration, and life’s challenges through a therapeutic space rooted in empathy, authenticity, and genuine human connection. As a first-generation college student and Latina woman, she brings a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and compassionate perspective to her work, shaped by both lived experience and years of supporting vulnerable communities.

Her professional background includes case management work with undocumented families, youth, and survivors of trafficking, which deepened her commitment to trauma-informed, ethical, and culturally sensitive care. Through this work, she developed a strong understanding of systemic barriers, displacement, and complex trauma, as well as the importance of creating spaces where individuals feel safe, believed, and supported.

Her clinical interests include trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and supporting individuals from underserved and marginalized communities. She is also a disability advocate who strives for inclusivity in all aspects of her work, with a strong commitment to accessibility, equity, and creating spaces where all individuals feel a sense of belonging. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic and existential principles, emphasizing meaning, dignity, and each person’s capacity for growth, while also integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques to support insight into the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

She is committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care and fostering a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel respected, valued, and free to show up as their full selves.

Georgia Henges is currently a student intern at Fit Counseling, supervised by Alicia Mercedes. She is pursuing her master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of Central Florida. 

She has always had a deep passion for understanding the human condition and strives to apply it in active practice. Her undergraduate studies provided her with the tools necessary to balance psychological theories with active listening, encouraging growth, self-awareness, and self-compassion. 

She has experience working in community centers, including non-profit organizations, shelters, and ABA clinics, where she had the privilege of applying her curiosity and drive for human connection into compassionate work. 

She aims to create an environment filled with warmth, safety, and empathy to support clients on their journeys of healing, growth, and personal discovery. She finds value in understanding the totality of a client’s identity, particularly when it is shaped by systemic structures, marginalization, and multicultural frameworks. Her trauma-informed background has inspired her to approach clients with an openness to understand the complexities of their experiences and support them as they navigate the spectrum of meaning in their lives.

In her work, she aims to create balance for her clients through integrative approaches, including a supportive, client-centered environment, narrative dialogues, acceptance and commitment mechanisms, and a humanistic approach to psychodynamic principles. At her core, she works to empower clients emotionally while emphasizing the development of intentional meaning-making practices. 

She has a strong interest and commitment to social justice and authentically supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, BIPOC communities, and children. In developing her cultural humility, she relies on authenticity, advocacy, and compassion to create a safe, open-minded, therapeutic space.
