I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), working towards my clinical license under the supervision of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW). I am a Rutgers University graduate with a clinical concentration and a passion for helping each individual, from children to older adults, of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, for building upon their strengths to promote their well-being for a positive treatment outcome. I work in a therapeutic alliance with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, substance use, and co-occurring mental health issues to improve and support their well-being.

Chances are if you are reading this it is time for help. The right time for therapy is when you are ready. Often people reach out when they are experiencing overwhelming feelings, ruminating thoughts, a recent loss or a traumatic event. Therapy provides a safe space in which you can open up about anything you may be struggling with such as working remotely, living alone, dating, relationship issues and feeling in-between. My expertise includes grief/loss, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, thinking disorders, self-esteem, anger management, trauma, life transitions, family conflict, emotional disturbances and relationship issues.

I graduated with a Masters in Professional Counseling/ Education Specialist (Ed. S.) degree from Seton Hall University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey. I also am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Christian Counselor through the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC). I am bilingual and have experience in working with Spanish-speaking clients and families. I also have experience in working with children, adolescents and adults facing different challenges in life, such as: anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and more.

As a therapist with many years of experience offering clinical services, it has been my privilege to work with children, adolescents and young adults to cope with the many issues and challenges that affect their happiness and well being. My primary focus is in work with clients who are grappling with anxiety, depression, anger management, behavioral and self-esteem issues, peer relationships and school related challenges. Please refer to the side bar on this page for additional areas of focus and the types of issues that I address, as well as for the methods of treatment that I utilize in working with my clients.

At the center, clients can expect to learn how to live their best life. As a therapist and being involved in the field for 16 years, I've worked with adolescents, women and families through individual, family and group therapy. My expertise is working with individuals experiencing depression, self-esteem issues, history of abuse, generalized and social anxiety, anger management, stress management and trauma. I also provide coaching for women in their 20's -60's and help clients gain work/ life balance whether they're struggling in intimate or social relationship or in their careers. My approach is to not just to treat the symptoms, but get to the root of the problem.

I have been in private practice for more than 20 years. I work in Northern New Jersey and provide short-term psychotherapy using psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, EMDR and IFS. I feel using an integrated model produces the best results. Every client is different so it's necessary to use multiple modalities --a one size fits all model does not work in therapy. I like working in partnership with clients. I am approachable, warm, nurturing and active in my sessions. I believe it's essential to be available to clients and return phone calls and emails on a timely basis

Finding the space to just be can be very hard. Especially if you feel like you don’t belong in that space; be it cultural, social, or political. When it feels like life can be too much and putting a band aid on the wound isn’t helping, therapy can be that space for diving deep into your heart, mind, body, and soul. And I would be honored to be there and guide you as you embark on this path. I work with clients who are in transitional moments of their lives, whether it is entering a relationship, leaving one, or figuring out the in-between.

Hola! My name is Lhia Rivero. My first language is Spanish. Have you been feeling lost or overwhelmed and don't know how to move forward? I'm here to listen and help! I have been in the mental health field for several years, which has helped me obtain experience in crisis response and stabilization, partial care, in-home and outpatient therapy. I have worked with children from 4years old up to 21, as well as adults over 21. My experience is based mainly in assistance with managing Depression, Anxiety and history of Trauma.

Seeking help is not easy and it can be scary! If you are an adult or a parent of a teenager experiencing sadness, stress, worries, excessive crying, impulsive behavior, trouble sleeping/concentrating, anxiety, family/relationship or school/work problems for over four weeks, you may need therapeutic support. We all experience normal levels of stress, but if left unresolved, these behaviors and concerns, can result in significant social-emotional issues.

Navigating life’s more difficult challenges can feel overwhelming at times. There are many paths to achieving a more fulfilling life, and there is no “one size fits all” method for counseling. I believe in applying a variety of counseling theories and techniques to meet each client’s individual needs and goals. A strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy and understanding is paramount in an effective counseling partnership, and I take great pride in creating an open and welcoming space for my clients.
