Getting to know Angel Rivera

I am a bilingual English and Spanish-speaking social worker and United States Army veteran with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused interventions, grief and bereavement counseling, couples therapy, and intensive in-community services. I have particular experience working with trauma, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, family dynamics, and individuals navigating significant life transitions. My military service included assignments at Fort Riley, Fort Polk, Fort Irwin, and Fort Lee, where I transitioned from mechanical operations into the Signal field and worked with sensitive Communications Security (COMSEC) materials. My military background continues to influence my emphasis on resilience, accountability, structure, and service to others. I am especially passionate about supporting service members, veterans, and military families, while providing culturally responsive services to individuals from diverse communities.
