Jessica Rivera, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who takes a holistic, heart-centered, and interactive approach to therapy. I specialize in helping adults navigate ADHD, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions while creating meaningful, lasting change.

My focus

I primarily work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, self-worth struggles, and depression. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and create lives that feel more aligned and peaceful.

My approach

I take a holistic, integrative approach, blending therapeutic styles to meet you where you are. While we'll build practical tools for today's challenges, I also believe lasting healing comes from deeper self-understanding and improving your relationship with yourself, others, and the life you're creating.

My communication style

Clients often describe me as warm, interactive, and genuine. I create a supportive environment while actively engaging in the process by asking thoughtful questions, offering honest observations, and gently challenging the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for therapy is rooted in a genuine love of personal growth and self-discovery. I believe in doing my own inner work and strive to practice what I encourage my clients to do. My own commitment to growth has deepened my empathy, authenticity, and respect for the healing process.

My goals for you

I don't believe in checking boxes for the sake of completing goals. I want therapy to create meaningful, lasting change, so we focus on what's most important to you while building the insight and skills to help you get there.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you- your story, what's bringing you to therapy, where you are today, and what you hope life can look like moving forward. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and determining how I can best support you on your journey.
