Elise Rodriguez, LMFT runs Beauty for Ashes Transformation Center in San Carlos, San Diego, treating trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety from a clinical office at 7555 Golfcrest Dr near Lake Murray. Rodriguez holds California LMFT license #84376, earned her master's degree at National University in 2009, completed Parnell Institute AF-EMDR certification in 2019, and received CAMFT-approved clinical supervisor designation in 2022. Her EMDRIA-certified EMDR protocol sequences eight-phase reprocessing across an average of 12 to 20 sessions for single-incident adult trauma, and she layers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and mindfulness-based stress reduction into individualized treatment plans alongside the physical rehabilitation track at PhysioFixx Physical Therapy in San Carlos for clients whose trauma manifests as chronic musculoskeletal tension. Children and adolescent clients work through age-appropriate creative modalities designed to build trust and expression in a controlled therapeutic environment, while couples engage in structured EFT attachment cycles that map relationship patterns before intervening on conflict sequences. As a military spouse with direct experience navigating deployment-related family stress, Rodriguez built the practice to serve military-connected families, veterans, and first responders alongside the general 92119 population. The practice accepts Blue Cross, Triwest, and Aetna insurance panels and provides superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Faith-integrated counseling is available for clients who want to incorporate spirituality into the healing process, though it is not required and the practice serves clients of all backgrounds. Clients requiring higher-acuity psychiatric stabilization before beginning outpatient EMDR work can coordinate intake through Alter Behavioral Health - San Diego for residential or intensive outpatient programming that feeds into Rodriguez's trauma reprocessing timeline. The eight-phase EMDR model addresses not only the target memory but the present-day triggers and future-oriented anxiety templates that sustain post-traumatic symptom cycles between sessions.
