Getting to know Libby Riverstone-Howe

Hi there, I'm Libby! Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on beginning your journey, and I’m here to make sure it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My approach I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to discover your true values and uncover the authentic you. To untangle stuck places, I guide you through experiential therapy to get to the heart of hard feelings and rewrite the script that triggers poor self-worth and loneliness. I can help you feel better. My focus Have you been stuck in anxiety or depression while struggling with trauma that affects your work or relationships? Anxiety or depression from life transitions like a new job, retirement, or chronic illness? My preferred client is 35 to 99 years old managing anxiety or depression. I can help you find your center again and move forward authentically. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient—providing a safe, supportive place without judgment to reach the true places that have been in the dark too long. My journey to mental healthcare I have long been fascinated by the motivations behind human behavior. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Francisco State University, which deepened my understanding and commitment to supporting others through their mental health journeys.
