I am Yaritza Rivera, a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to empowering people to live the best version of themselves. I have devoted my practice to developing an atmosphere of attunement, compassion, and a client-centered approach. Using evidence-based therapeutic interventions, I have developed a Mindfulness Stress Reduction Program for Veterans, specializing in working with dual-diagnosis individuals in Detox, Residential, and Partial Hospitalization settings. I have extensive clinical training in Trauma-Informed treatment and crisis intervention using various evidence-based treatment modalities, including IFS, MI, EMDR, ACT, Mindfulness, and DBT.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most valuable components of the client’s experience and process. I value how mind, spirit, and boy are intertwined and would incorporate these 3 components into our practice.

If you seek therapy for trauma, grief and loss, self-leadership, or anxiety, I am here to shine a light on the existing tools within you. I believe the client is the expert on themselves. We will learn how to be curious about yourself and guide your true self to its full potential.  I also work with families seeking to build stronger interpersonal relationships by building open communication and regaining trust with one another.
