Introduction

I am the owner and Clinical Director of Rivas Psychotherapy. I am a licensed professional counselor in Florida, New York, and New Jersey, and I also hold a PhD in Counseling and Supervision. I direct a team of compassionate counselors whose passion lies in supporting people through difficult life transitions, managing chronic stress, healing from trauma, improving self-esteem, and overcoming challenges in relationships. My practice specializes in working with children, adults, and clients with disabilities, and older adults. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma, you don’t have to go through it alone. Give us a call to connect you to one of our counselors.
