Meet Hendrina
I’m a therapist and coach who believes in the power of calm, connection, and purpose. Living with my child and our dogs, I understand how crucial it is to find balance in both our inner worlds and our relationships. My work is dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with their sense of meaning and peace, drawing from my own experiences and growth along the way.
Coaching-Led Therapy & Emotional Clarity for Real Life
Support for individuals and couples navigating burnout, emotional fatigue, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
I’m Hendrina Sterling Rodriguez, an experienced bilingual online therapist and transformational guide. After years of clinical work across the NHS, BetterHelp, and private practice, I now focus on helping individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained.
At Mind Empower Therapy, I blend coaching and therapy to support people navigating stress, burnout, money blocks, and a loss of direction. This space is designed for thoughtful, deep-feeling people who want more than coping—they want meaning, change, and grounded action.
Whether you’re building your life after burnout, struggling to find purpose, or feeling disconnected in your relationships, I’ll help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Find Purpose. Heal Relationships. Create a Life You Love.
Get Unstuck. Reconnect. Realign.
I work with adults and couples who feel emotionally stretched, disconnected, or overwhelmed. If you’re carrying the weight of life without support, let’s change that.
You may be experiencing:
Burnout or chronic stress despite being “high functioning”
Emotional exhaustion or a feeling of being lost
Communication breakdowns in your relationship
Disconnection from your purpose, direction, or identity
Inner pressure to do more, be more, fix more — without rest.
You don’t need a diagnosis to ask for help. Just a willingness to explore something different.
Existential, Relational & Coaching-Based
This isn’t traditional therapy focused only on symptoms or labels. I integrate relational depth with solution-focused tools, using an existential lens to explore identity, meaning, and emotional patterns.
Sessions are conversational, goal-oriented, and deeply supportive — designed to meet you where you are, without judgment or over-analysis.
I combine trauma-informed psychology, coaching strategies, and emotional insight to help you reconnect with who you are and how you want to live.
Couples Therapy That Creates Real Change — Not Just Quick Fixes
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in arguments, or emotionally distant, my approach to couples therapy is practical, emotionally attuned, and future-focused. I help couples rebuild trust, navigate burnout, and strengthen communication in a way that’s honest, non-judgmental, and effective.
This work is especially supportive for:
Couples navigating stress from parenting, work, or relocation
Relationships affected by emotional shutdown or constant arguments
Professionals and entrepreneurs under pressure
High-achieving couples struggling to find connection or rest
Partners dealing with resentment, unmet needs, or unclear boundaries
I combine trauma-informed therapy with solution-focused coaching to help you both feel heard, respected, and emotionally connected again.
This Work Is For You If…
You’re emotionally intelligent but overwhelmed
You’ve outgrown old coping tools and want something deeper
You’re navigating life, career, or relationship transitions
You’re craving more purpose, presence, or peace
You want support that’s honest, structured, and grounded
I work globally via video sessions, and offer guidance in both English and Spanish.

Austria
It was a pleasure to talk to Hendrina who was very friendly, engaging and professional. I had a specific issue that I was struck on, Hendrina worked with me until I resolved it and I’m very thankful for her help.
Northern Ireland
After a three-vehicle collision left me struggling with PTSD, I first tried talk therapy but needed a more action-oriented approach. Hendrina provided exactly that—offering exercises, journals, and deep insights into the connection between past trauma and physical health. She not only helped me heal but also guided me to external resources, allowing me to better understand my mind, body, and spirit in the context of trauma.
