Kurtis Rivera

I believe in the power of connection, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor in therapy. Life can get heavy, especially when past traumas weigh us down, but I'm here to remind you that it's okay to laugh, cry, and experience everything in between. Healing isn't linear, but together we can navigate the highs and lows with resilience. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, working through trauma, or feeling lost, I'm here to offer an empathetic ear and support your journey toward growth and self-discovery. Creating a safe, inclusive space is my priority, especially for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals, who often face unique challenges. I view therapy as both a science and an art, capable of profound transformation. The therapeutic relationship is sacred to me, and I’m honored to walk with you on this journey of healing. With over 15 years of experience, I’m committed to helping you find your path to wellness and reclaiming your strength and peace.
