Joanna Rivera, LMSW

I’m glad you’ve found your way here. We all deserve a compassionate space to pause, reflect, and heal. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever is weighing on your heart and mind, offering support that feels safe, respectful, and genuine.

I have experience working with youth and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. As a bicultural therapist with experience supporting immigrant and international communities, I bring a multicultural lens that honors each person’s unique story and identity. I approach each session with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect, using a holistic, collaborative approach to help you feel seen, heard, and reconnected to your strengths.

I specialize in client-centered, strengths-based methods, including EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. My style is warm and flexible, while also honest and grounded in what works best for you. También ofrezco servicios en español.

I love to travel and continue to be inspired by different cultures and perspectives. You may see me working from a new corner of the world, but no matter where I am, my focus remains on building meaningful, grounded connections with the people I support. I offer all therapy services via telehealth in a private, secure setting, ensuring your comfort and confidentiality throughout our work together. I’d be honored to connect and explore how I can support you.
