Getting to know Katherine Rivera
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Got the “ugly parts” of yourself that you'd rather not broadcast' You’re not alone-and you’re exactly my type of person. Therapy with me isn’t about learning how to pretend we’ve got it all together-it’s about embracing the beautiful mess that we are.
Nobody should feel alone when wrestling with the raw, jagged edges of their existence. I provide a sanctuary where your full range of emotions isn’t just tolerated-it’s welcome. You get to be vulnerable; I’ll take care of the safe space and the calm, unflappable energy.
I’ve spent years in crisis intervention, private practice, and emergency services, so nothing you say will shock me. I also bring an ever-expanding toolkit of therapeutic techniques, all tailored to you. I love bringing spirituality and art into sessions when I can. You won’t just be talking into a void-you’ll feel seen, heard, and valued.
I want to empower you, whether you’re 18 or 80, to find your inner strength, tap into a courage you never knew you had, and walk out of each session feeling a little more like the “you” you’ve always wanted to be.
So, if you’re tired of surface-level solutions and ready to plunge into the depths of your beautifully complex self, let’s get started.
Katherine Rivera has a Master’s in Social Work from Capella University. Katherine is a Licensed Social Worker, LSW 44SL06986000 at Cerebral. Supervised by Ebonie Walker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 44SC05732000
What should a new client know about working with you?
I primarily work with adults who are navigating life transitions and are working towards understanding how to balance their personal needs with everything else going on in their lives. Most of my experience has surrounded crisis intervention and providing therapy to those who are anxious, depressed, or who have experienced life-altering trauma.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I prioritize providing a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to share what they perceive as their “ugliest parts.” My goal is to show you that therapy should not be about learning how to pretend that we have it all together, but instead about embracing the beautiful mess that we are and learning how to accept those parts of ourselves. My calm energy allows clients to be themselves without fear of being judged or criticized so we can work towards creating the life you imagine for yourself.
