As a psychotherapist and a doctor in counseling, I provide services in English and Spanish myself and with my group practice Rivas Psychotherapy. I find clients who want to heal and overcome emotional hurt, pain, and trauma. I assist my clients in finding a way back to themselves, their heart, and their resilience. I believe people can recover, learn, grow, and solve their issues through genuine connection and collaboration with others.
My team and I operate from a humanist and diversity affirmative approach, we primarily work with individuals, couples, and families who are aiming to heal and reach psychological wellness.
You are not alone and you deserve to feel better. We are here to support you in this process.
