More about Lauren Rivas, LPC

Hello, my name is Lauren Rivas, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience. Seeking help is vulnerable yet brave. I respect your choice to reach out for assistance in overcoming your current obstacle. I aim to provide a safe, warm, and empathic space, meet you halfway, and individualize your care. I commit to listening attentively, collaborating, and encouraging you with respect, dignity, and care. You are the expert on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. While respecting that, I can assist in identifying thinking errors and insights you might not recognize and provide additional perspectives, realizations, and tools. The goal is to become a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled person for yourself and others. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Regis University in Denver, Colorado, and a master's degree in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. For 12 years, I have provided therapeutic, evaluative, and counseling services to many individuals, with both acute and severe symptoms, as well as more pervasive behavioral changes. I have worked in inpatient, correctional, and outpatient care. I believe in human resilience and the power of change, no matter how hopeless or helpless one might feel. I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, bereavement, anger management, guilt, shame, family conflict, sexual trauma, domestic violence, relationship issues, PTSD, mental illness, compassion fatigue, and childhood and emotional disorders. I employ various therapeutic perspectives and modalities, emphasizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, and Solution Focused Therapy, which support a client's willingness to make desired changes.
