Therapist
Esperanza Rivera, MA
Hi, I’m Esperanza! I’m a Clinical Therapist who works with teens and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to make sense of big emotions or changes, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
In sessions, I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, build practical coping skills, and learn how to respond to stress in healthier, more empowering ways. My approach is collaborative and flexible, always meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Together, we work on developing emotional awareness, strengthening self-confidence, and building skills that support resilience and emotional balance. I focus on helping clients feel more grounded and capable while encouraging progress through small, meaningful steps. My style is compassionate, culturally responsive, and strengths-based, with an emphasis on creating a safe space where growth can happen without pressure or judgment.
