Eduardo Rivas

My communication style

I'm an active listener who will foster a non-judgmental, compassionate, and safe environment to help guide your journey of growth and healing. I aim to create a safe place with unconditional positive regard to empower you to share your stories, experiences, and perspectives so that I can better understand your concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was influenced by my own therapist, whom I worked with throughout my young adult stage, to become a therapist. I came to the realization that I enjoyed helping individuals and wanted to give the same attention and care that my therapist provided to me in order to heal.

My goals for you

In my therapeutic process, I like to help clients recognize symptoms, triggers, and develop strategies and tools to learn how to cope with those symptoms. Sometimes this process can be straightforward, and my hope is that by collaborating together, we can make these goals attainable and help you manage such challenges in your life.

Our first session

My hopes for our first session would be to engage and connect with you through means of active listening, supportive conversation, and (at times) a sense of humor in order to get to know you better and reduce feelings of nervousness. I would also hope to provide the space to empower you to share about the reason for seeking treatment.
