Women's communication has been shaped by culture.
Communication and the ability to be assertive have been shaped by social, cultural, and relational pressures for women.
​
Dr. Sandra Rodriguez-Siuts provides a safe space for women to explore how they’ve been conditioned to prioritize others, avoid conflict, or suppress certain emotions. These patterns can make it difficult to express needs, set boundaries, or advocate for themselves. Through therapy, women can identify these learned behaviors, understand their emotional roots, and practice more effective ways of communicating.
Therapy helps women build assertiveness skills without guilt or fear. Assertiveness is not aggression; it’s the ability to communicate clearly, confidently, and respectfully. Dr. Sandra Rodriguez-Siuts can teach you practical tools, such as boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and “I” statements. These skills can empower women to speak up in personal relationships, workplaces, and social settings.

Improved communication and assertiveness contribute to better mental health outcomes overall. When women can express themselves openly and advocate for their needs, they experience reduced stress, stronger self-esteem, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of autonomy.
