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.
