Getting to know Anjel Garcia-Rivas

My typical clients are adults, teens, and children who are feeling overwhelmed and seeking a supportive space to heal and grow. They come to me navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and significant life transitions, feeling stuck in difficult realities. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space using a person-centered approach grounded in CBT and ACT. Through an authentic therapeutic alliance, I help clients process difficult experiences and build practical tools for lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer a warm, non-judgmental environment from the start and do not shy away from difficult conversations that serve my clients' well-being. I have extensive experience working with people aged 5-60, with specialty in children, teens, young adults, and adults with trauma and anxiety.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A session begins with a check-in and revisitation of homework assigned last week, and launching from that standpoint, we begin targeted, effective communication rooted in evidence-based approaches. We are not just having a friendly conversation but rather actively discussing how to reframe your thoughts and change your behaviors.
