Getting to know Ricky Rivera

The provider is a “Licensed Social Worker" and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Serenium Cranford I’m a Licensed Social Worker who brings compassion, curiosity, and cultural humility into every space I enter. My work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—especially when navigating life’s challenges. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults in school settings, community programs, and the justice system, which has deepened my understanding of how diverse life experiences shape our emotional worlds.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, seeking clarity, or simply in need of a supportive space to process and reflect, I’m here to walk alongside you with intention, care, and respect for your unique journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I specialize in supporting individuals working through anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, and trauma. I also hold a deep commitment to affirming and advocating for LGBTQ+ clients. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, grounded in empathy, empowerment, and cultural responsiveness. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—together, we’ll create a space that meets you where you are, honors your strengths, and supports your growth at your own pace.
