Welcome/Bienvenidos 

I’m Patricia Rivas, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social

Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals on

their healing journeys. I’ve had the privilege of working in both the

nonprofit sector and private practice, which has given me a deep

understanding of the diverse challenges and strengths that clients

bring to therapy.
 

My work is grounded in three core values: authenticity,

relational trust, and choice. These principles shape every

session and guide how I show up as your therapist. I believe

genuine connection, respect for your boundaries, and

collaborative decision-making create the foundation for 

meaningful, lasting healing. In our work together, I strive to ensure

you always feel seen, heard, and in control of your process.

​

My goal is to offer a warm, supportive space where you can

speak openly, explore your experiences without judgment, and

make sense of the patterns and emotions that influence your life.

Therapy with me is not about perfection—it’s about understanding

yourself more deeply, building resilience, and moving toward the

life you want with compassion and clarity.
