Getting to know Yesenia Rivera

Hi there, I'm Yesenia! Hello! My name is Yesenia Rivera. I have been a licensed clinical social worker and therapist for 26 years. I earned my Master?s in Social Work from New York University and my Bachelor?s degree from Lehman College, CUNY. My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered, focusing on each person's unique experiences and perspectives to help them become the best version of themselves. My approach My therapy style is client-centered, rooted in evidence-based practices, and provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I commonly integrate psychodynamic therapy with acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), among others. My focus I typically work with individuals and families of all ages experiencing life stressors, anxiety, depression, and emotional difficulties. I am particularly comfortable supporting those with mood disorders and helping clients improve emotional regulation. Together, we work open-mindedly to develop coping skills, self-care and mindfulness practices, enhance relationships and support systems, foster a better life outlook, and create lasting change. My communication style My communication style is supportive, warm, and adaptable to meet your individual needs. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe sharing your emotions, experiences, and perspectives without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I always knew I wanted to be in the helping field. The meaningful therapeutic alliance I build with individuals, families, and groups?improving their quality of life and helping them realize their highest potential?has made therapy my lifelong career. My goals for you I will listen carefully to what has brought you into therapy, explore how therapy can be useful, and understand your expectations to set clear, personalized therapeutic goals.
