Jazmin Rivera

Hi there, I'm Jazmin!

I am a licensed therapist who works with children, teens, young adults, and parents navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, ADHD, life transitions, family stress, and depression. My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and stage of development.

My focus

I support children struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, behavioral concerns, trauma, ADHD, and depression, as well as teens and young adults navigating stress, identity, relationships, and life transitions. I also work with parents and families experiencing burnout, conflict, or major family changes.

My approach

I use a collaborative, client-centered approach that combines child-centered play therapy, coping skill building, CBT-based strategies, and parent support. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can express themselves, build confidence, and develop practical tools for growth.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, attuned, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I strive to meet clients where they are emotionally while creating a safe environment where they feel heard, understood, and comfortable expressing themselves at their own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a background in Family Science and have always been drawn to understanding people, relationships, and emotional well-being. My natural empathy, curiosity, and desire to help others heal led me to pursue a career supporting children, families, and individuals through life’s challenges.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to create realistic and meaningful goals based on their unique needs and strengths. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, coping skills, confidence, and practical strategies that clients can use in their daily lives and relationships.

Our first session

The first session is focused on creating a comfortable, supportive environment where clients can begin sharing their experiences without pressure or judgment. Together, we’ll discuss current concerns, goals for therapy, and begin building a collaborative relationship tailored to your needs.
