Hi, my name is Shana Rivera. I am a compassionate and experienced licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified dialectical behavior therapist (C-DBT) with 15+ years of experience, dedicated to supporting adults in their journey towards improved wellbeing. My passion for helping others comes from a deep understanding of the challenges individuals face when navigating their mental health. I utilize evidence-based practice to help individuals heal in the areas of PTSD, anxiety and depressive disorders, personality disorders, and strained relationship dynamics.
I have extensive experience working with individuals who have survived emotional, physical, sexual, and other acute traumas, feel overwhelmed, disconnected and hopeless with depression, are debilitated by the grip of anxiety, or want to develop healthier communication patterns, the ability to trust, and the capacity to foster more fulfilling relationships.
It is never too late to make yourself a priority. I want to help you take the first step towards growth, positive change, and an overall improved quality of life. It starts with someone who will listen, empathize, and provide unconditional support and guidance. Allow me to be that person for you!
