Maria Rivas - Clinical Intern

I enjoy working with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, emotional overwhelm, and relationship concerns. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, unheard, burnt out, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel safe being themselves while learning healthy coping skills, building confidence, and gaining clarity. As a bilingual provider, I value creating an inclusive and culturally aware environment where clients feel seen, understood, and supported.

I offer a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy. My focus is helping clients navigate emotional stress, life changes, anxiety, self-esteem, and everyday challenges while building healthier coping skills, self-awareness, and emotional balance.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely heard. Healing and growth happen one step at a time, and I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
