Getting to know Jaimee Rivera Nunez

Hi there, I'm Jaimee! My name is Jaimee Rivera. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master's in Professional Counseling and a Bachelor's degree from California Baptist University. I strive to create a welcoming and nurturing environment for each client to learn, develop, and grow in a supportive therapeutic space. My cognitive behavioral approach allows clients to identify and work through distressing symptoms, heal, and build a healthier future. When working with children using Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I collaborate closely with parents to address symptoms such as defiance, aggression, anxiety, and dysregulation by teaching coping skills that increase self-regulation or coregulation while enhancing the parent-child relationship. My approach I believe no two people or circumstances are exactly the same; therefore, my approach to therapy varies depending on each person's needs. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and PCIT, as these provide clients with problem-solving strategies, help build healthy coping skills, increase self-esteem, enhance relationships, and offer hope tailored to their specific situations. My focus I have experience working with children ages 2 to 7 to address disruptive episodes, disobedience, emotional dysregulation, hyperactivity, aggression, and attachment challenges. Using PCIT, I help enhance the parent-child relationship while supporting the child in regulating difficult emotions and improving social skills. I also work with parents and adults facing anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting challenges, helping them increase self-esteem, develop coping skills, and navigate life's stressors through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing.
