Alison Rivera
Licensed Master Social Worker -
In life, we encounter moments of uncertainty and self-doubt, where the path forward may seem unclear. I am committed to guiding clients through these pivotal moments, empowering them to rediscover their true potential and stride confidently toward their goals. Together, we’ll navigate the complexities of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that shape your experiences. With a background in college-based, forensic, and acute psychiatric settings; I bring a diverse range of experiences to support you on your journey of growth and transformation.The therapeutic space is yours! Utilizing a person-centered approach, I invite clients to self-determine goals related to their emotional wellbeing. I lean on cognitive and motivational interviewing frameworks to explore thought patterns and behaviors contributing to mental distress.My practice is rooted in cultivating a deeper understanding of self and self-empowerment. In a world, where we are asked to be ‘New York tough,’ I embrace my clients’ strength of being vulnerable. In therapy, we will work together to explore your emotional + mental needs and how to nurture them.
