Getting to know Dr. Rika Collado

Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I am Dr. Rika N. Collado, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience. My approach I always start with an introductory session, during which you can share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Then, we’ll work together in the following sessions to make these goals a reality for you. My focus I provide psychotherapy services to adults who struggle with mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment, trauma, and family issues. Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. My approach in psychotherapy includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will allow you to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. You can expect me to be supportive and patient if we work through something challenging. My journey to mental healthcare My journey as a psychologist began with a deep curiosity about human resilience. I had the privilege of working with trauma survivors, veterans, new parents, elders, children, immigrants, etc, and that experience changed me. I saw firsthand how therapy could be a lifeline, a space for rebuilding trust, identity, and hope. It solidified my commitment to walking alongside others in their healing process. My goals for you I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan anytime to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you.
