About Roderick Perry
Roderick Perry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, where he provides compassionate care to veterans, their families, and members of the wider community. As the owner of Helping Homes Counseling & Wellness, he is dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment where people can find support, healing, and renewed strength.
Before becoming a counselor, Roderick proudly served in the U.S. Army as a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist, earning multiple commendations and developing the discipline and commitment that now guide his work in mental health. For more than a decade, he has also mentored at-risk youth through the Departments of Juvenile Justice in Virginia, Georgia, and Florida, helping young people discover their potential and make positive life changes.
Roderick specializes in supporting women, men, children, and families as they navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and substance use. He primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—a practical, goal-focused approach that helps clients challenge negative thought patterns, build healthier coping skills, and strengthen relationships. His work also emphasizes communication skills, interpersonal effectiveness, and family connections, while actively reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.
Outside of counseling, Roderick is an active member of the Masons and Shriners, continuing his lifelong dedication to service and community. Passionate about helping people grow across cultures, families, and generations, he believes that even the smallest steps can create lasting change.
“Change begins with one grain of sand.”
