Getting to know Darlene Riveron
Hey there! My name is Darlene Riveron, and I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida—a therapist on a mission to help you take control of your life. I was born and raised in Miami, FL, and I'm a proud Latina (Cuban & Salvadorean). I am fluent in English and Spanish, and what we call in Miami: Spanglish. I am also a proud Frenchie dog momma who enjoys traveling and learning about different cultures in my free time. I attended Nova Southeastern University (Go Sharks!), where I graduated with my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2021.
I have worked in various settings, including schools, classrooms, substance abuse clinics, community mental health centers, and private practice. I have experience with traditional in-person therapy, group therapy, and virtual therapy. Before becoming a therapist, I was a Registered Behavior Therapist specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder and crisis behavior management. As an RBT, I witnessed many of the challenges these children face when engaging in everyday activities such as completing schoolwork, personal grooming, and socializing with peers. This job ignited my passion for going back to school to fulfill my dream of becoming a therapist.
My love for this career began when I was younger, as I always enjoyed helping and listening to others, but it truly developed when I had my own experience in therapy. As a teen and throughout young adulthood, I struggled with anxiety, depression, and trauma that affected me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. Through therapy, I learned strategies and coping techniques to heal, foster healthier relationships, and improve my self-esteem. This positive experience inspired me to do the same for others facing similar struggles.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a safe place to help you navigate life’s challenges and to help you achieve your journey of self-discovery in a non-judgemental setting. I am here to support you and guide you to your goals and can help you use strategies to navigate your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical reactions more effectively. You are not alone in this journey!
Together as a team, we will identify triggers, work on self-awareness, and create a tailored plan to help cope with daily and past struggles. I have experience working with children, pre-teens, adolescents, and adults experiencing: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and attachment struggles.
