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.

Hi there, my name is Dani Reisbaum. I know that seeking support can be a challenging and confusing process. I am here to meet you where you are at, with care and compassion. 

I offer an open, non-judgemental space where you can speak honestly about your thoughts and experiences while skills building and working towards your personal goals. I often incorporate mindfulness and somatic (body-focused) exercises in therapy, as I have seen the way those practices aid in regulating emotions, fostering a sense of safety in the nervous system, and releasing stress (and trauma) held in the body. 

As a queer, trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of growth, healing and liberation. 

Then comes the fun and challenging part of self-discovery, curiosity and imagination - to explore what you value, what excites you and drives you. We will work together to highlight the ways you are already showing up for yourself while identifying what thoughts, behaviors and environments are no longer serving you. We will build up your skills, confidence and self-compassion so that you can move through your day to day life with intention. 

Some areas that I am especially passionate about working with are anxiety, life-transitions, self-esteem, gender identity, sexuality, relationships, ENM/CNM, existential questioning, sexual trauma and chronic pain. I work with individuals (12+) as well as couples/partners.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, meaning that I cater it to your unique history, values, goals and preferences. Some styles of therapy I tend to incorporate are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Therapy, Emotion-focused therapy (EFT), Strength-based therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Problem Solving therapy.

About me: I have a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I enjoy spending quality time with friends, watching movies, swimming, dancing and playing music.

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.

This is me in a nutshell. Thank you Melissa 😊

The choice to begin therapy is a testament to your strength and courage. The weight of your issues at times can be tough to carry; especially when it’s too heavy or no one has taught you how to bare it. Some of us have been taught to “be strong” and just “make it work”, and to never complain. However, this can leave you feeling overwhelmed or confused about your own emotions. 

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space that will allow you to openly express your thoughts and feelings.

I specialize in assisting clients with relationship/couples’ issues, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, domestic violence, trauma, and grief. 

My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused, and Gottman’s Couples Therapy. I believe that there is no straight path to fixing all our problems as we are all unique. I use all my knowledge and resources to assist every type of client I encounter.
