Claudia Rivas, LCSW

Claudia Rivas, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
It’s not easy making the decision to begin therapy. As your therapist, I will listen, connect, and collaborate with you to help you feel comfortable, safe, and heard. I have specialized psychodynamic/psychoanalytic training, which provides me with the skills needed to really get to the root of the issue and make lasting change. I specialize in women’s issues, including pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, perimenopause, and menopause. I also focus on parent-adult child relationships. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. For over 20 years, I have counseled children, adolescents, families, couples, and adults of all ages, which has given me a broad understanding of how each stage of life can impact the next. I use psychodynamic treatment with attention to patterns of early attachment and family experience, but most of all, I am committed to helping you feel better. Being warm, curious, and genuinely caring about my clients has helped me guide them through depression, anxiety, stress, and other emotional disruptions so they can function and thrive in everyday life. My relational, warm, non-judgmental, and accepting approach fosters connection with each client to promote progress and success in therapy.
