Hello there, my name is Jessica Rivas. Welcome and thank you for taking the first step toward healing. Life brings many challenges and triumphs, but we do not have to go through it alone. As your counselor, I will work with you to help you identify the negative patterns and behaviors that may be impacting your life, and together we can help you achieve the changes and/or the healing you desire. The journey may be difficult, and sometimes, even a little uncomfortable but I am here to collaborate with you and support you through the entire process. 

I believe that even when things become difficult, we can overcome anything as long as we are willing to put in the effort to work through it. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space that will allow you the opportunity to dig deep and express yourself without judgment. I am passionate about mental health and helping others and I have made it my personal mission in life to break the stigma surrounding therapy and mental health. Because your mental and emotional health are just as important as your physical health and you are not alone.

About me: I was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV but currently reside in California. I have a BA of Psychology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and a dual MS degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Walden University. I am a registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and I have experience working with couples, families, children, and individuals. I am also a Registered Behavioral Therapist and have experience working with children who have developmental delays, autism, Down syndrome, and other disabilities. When I am not working in the mental and behavioral health field, I am working out and practicing self-care, volunteering in my community, and spending time with my loved ones. I have a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, and cute cockapoo dog named Kiko and they all keep me busy.

Much can happen in life that we never saw coming and/or that never wanted for ourselves. But I am here because I believe that in spite of this, there is still a greater hope. As your counselor, I will collaborate with you in your journey to regain and nourish that hope as you seek healing, clarity, and change. Together, we will establish a safe environment to explore the issues that are consuming you, set goals toward change, learn more about yourself and your values, find clarity, and establish with the tools you need to keep going. 

I like to incorporate a person-centered approach and use interventions from different modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy.  I also have experience with faith-based counseling.

About me: I obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree of Social Work with a focus on US/Mexico Border Issues and a Master Degree of Social Work. I have worked in the field of social work by helping individuals and families of individuals going through chronic illness, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, caregiving, communication issues, relationship issues, financial stressors, burn-out, and self-care. My experience has been with adults, ages 18 – 80. 

Outside the clinical field, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, learning more about my faith and continuing to nourish my hope, hiking, taking walks, visiting the beach, having good ice cream, and exercising. 

I would be very honored to start this new journey with you to regain the hope, strength, skills, and clarity that you are seeking.

Hello there. I am Katherine.

In therapy, we will work to identify unhelpful behavioral patterns and negative thoughts that keep us stuck. Most importantly, together we will replace behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs that don’t serve us in fulfilling our desires or support our overall wellness. I believe all of us have the resilience within us to move forward and overcome whatever life situations arise. 

My goal is to support and work alongside you on your journey to wellness. Thus, I create a safe, open space to unravel what keeps us stuck or in distress while encouraging growth and strength. I utilize a wide range of evidence-based interventions from Psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with teens and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship difficulties, co-dependency, and other life difficulties. 

I completed my master's degree at California State University of Long Beach (CSULB). I am currently an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist. 

Hi and welcome!

My goal during a therapeutic process is to create a safe and supportive environment that empowers you to create the change and growth you desire. I believe that developing strong rapport is key to the therapeutic relationship and tend to gravitate towards using a person-centered, strength-based approach. However, as an eclectic therapist I utilize interventions stemming from a variety of evidence-based therapies to help you meet your goals, overcome challenges, and gain relief. 

Here’s a little about my background:  I’ve been working in the mental health field for six years. I received a Bachelor's degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in Psychology, a Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, and a Graduate Certificate in Military Resiliency from Liberty University. 

I am dual licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor in California and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I’m excited to work collaboratively with you to become the version of yourself you most desire to be

Hi, I’m Tracey! 

I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, personal growth, prenatal/pregnancy/postpartum, and self-esteem. 

My goal is to create a safe and affirming place that offers authenticity, humor, and genuineness for you to share your stories. I believe in healing and growth through processing and making meanings of your experiences, recognizing your strengths, embracing your identities, nurturing your spirituality, and empowering you to make intentional choices. I will support you in learning skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, communicate and express yourselves, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate towards your goals.

I practice from a culturally sensitive, person-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed lens in my treatment approach.

Hello there and welcome! You have already begun a courageous step in your journey by seeking out counseling services. My name is Sarah and I am passionate to help individuals find their inner strengths as well as find ways to protect their inner peace. I have experience in working with a wide variety of ages ranging from eighteen to seventy-five. I have learned over the years as a training professional that mental health has no bias against: age, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and religion. Therefore, I am devoted to helping individuals create a path of hope, success, love, and growth.

My specialty is marriage, couples, and family counseling. When asked by others why I specifically chose this direction, I simply stated 'because in one way or another, we all yearn for a relationship.' We seek relationships with others whether it be through friendship, romance, co-workers, family, within ourselves, or just a smile from a stranger walking down the street. I have found that if I can help facilitate mending a broken relationship, ending one peacefully, or working on strengthening the relationship in oneself, that is the greatest reward of all. I also have experience working with clients with anxiety, trauma, depression, psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

My therapeutic approach consists of Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems, and Rapid Resolution Therapy. It is also important to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that consists of empathy, a non-judgemental atmosphere, and a supportive space. By utilizing several different techniques it allows the capacity for each client to have their own individual needs met.

My background in the mental health field consists of obtaining my associates of arts in psychology from Citrus College, where I then went to Cal State Long Beach to obtain my Bachelors. From there I further pursued my masters of marriage, couples, and family counseling from Walden University. Since obtaining my masters, I have experience in private practice as well as a mental health hospital.

I look forward to helping you find your inner strengths, peace, and balance.
