Monica Rivera-Pina

My communication style

Most, if not all, of my clients have described my communication style as genuine, respectful, warm, personable, solution-oriented, and empowering. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment, and therefore, I want my clients to feel comfortable talking about anything in session with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist began at a young age. It is why I call myself a 'wounded healer', having experienced the same wounds as most of my clients. I have a profound need to help people. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a school counselor.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is built during the intake session. It is also during the intake session that a thorough history (snapshot) of your world is completed to define what your goals or wishes are to accomplish during our sessions together. It is also during the intake that trust and a solid therapeutic foundation.

Our first session

You can expect in your first session with me to spend the majority of the time discussing/sharing your experiences, and wants; describe how those experiences have affected you, and give in detail answers to the questions posed to you by me, to help me better understand when those feelings began or perhaps understand why you feel the way you do.
