Illiana Rivera
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked with children, adults, couples and families. My focus is in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and a multitude of life stressors. I have gained experience working in various settings that includes non-profit agencies, community mental health, and private practice. I have a strong passion in helping others reach their mental health goals and learn how to manage daily life struggles.
I use various approaches but my most common is Client-Centered Therapy, which allows me to tailor the therapeutic session to each individual. I use other approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectable Behavioral Therapy among others which helps me work with clients collaboratively to reach their goals. I strive to create a very non-judgmental environment, which allows me to build rapport with my clients and I am eager to get to know each client individually.
