Getting to know Mayra Rivas
Hello, my name is Mayra Gutierrez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I enjoy creating a welcoming environment for therapy, whether it is a telehealth or in-person session.
My approach
My approach is to start where a client is and always work collaboratively to reach goals that improve the client's life through different modalities.
My focus
I have worked with a variety of individuals from ages 4 to 70 years old. I have worked with families ranging from a single child to up to six children in family sessions. I have years of experience with trauma work, short-term treatment, narrative therapy, art therapy, music therapy, along with implementing smells and lighting into sessions to ground and create space for clients.
My communication style
My style in therapy is observing what a client needs to help progress in their treatment and bringing out my style of comforting, accountability, supportiveness, reality testing, and humor.
My journey to mental healthcare
I began my passion for helping as a child, inspired by shows featuring therapists and psychologists helping children and families. I pursued a bachelor's degree in social work, envisioning myself working in schools to support children and families through therapy. I then continued to a master's program in social work to grow my skills in therapeutic settings and eventually earn my LCSW. After years of working as a therapist in trauma recovery centers, schools, and nonprofit clinics as a clinical therapist, I was able to obtain the required hours and pass the licensure exam. Now, I have reached my goal of becoming an LCSW and am able to provide therapy while also helping future clinicians strengthen their skills to become future LCSWs.
My goals for you
I work collaboratively with clients to create their goals.
