Jelisa Rivera

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals in both community and school-based settings. I work with women and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or are struggling to navigate life’s demands. My approach is trauma-informed, and we’ll work together to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. For those who desire it, I integrate clinical experience with biblical principles to support your healing and reconnection with God.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in meeting you where you are. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, and a strengths-based lens to help you better understand your story, shift unhelpful patterns, and build tools for everyday life. Together, we’ll create space for both processing and growth. I aim for therapy to feel supportive, empowering, and aligned with what matters most to you.

My hope is to create a space where you feel safe to share your story and show up as your authentic self. Together, we’ll work to support your needs and gently explore areas for growth. I strive to create an environment where you feel seen, valued, and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a faith-based approach, we can also integrate biblical principles and use the tools God has given us to walk through your healing journey together.
