About Me
Kelly Rivera, LCSW, PMH-C
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Hi and welcome!
I have over 12 years of experience helping others make meaningful changes and view therapy as a collaborative process. I see each person as a unique individual. I will meet you where you are, taking into account your cultural identity, background, and life experiences, and we will work together to create meaningful goals.
I utilize a trauma-informed, eclectic approach to therapy and bring in evidence-based therapeutic techniques (DBT, CBT, ACT, ect) when needed to meet the unique needs of each client. My holistic approach focuses on emotional well-being, personal growth, and the development of coping strategies for long lasting challenges.
My background is in social work and my credentials are LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification). I received specialized training and certification around supporting folx during the time they are trying to get pregnant, are pregnant, or are in the postpartum period.
Things I love to do: Spending time with my two young children, going for walks and being in nature, and coffee shops with lavender lattes.
