Mary Rivas

I am a Licensced Mental Health Therapist in the state of Florida. I received my Master’s Degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2015 and completed my internship program working with clients struggling with codependency, addiction, life transitions, and a variety of life challenges. I have experience working with clients in understanding the deeper patterns that shape their lives, relationships, and sense of self. Through my work, I hope to create a real space where you feel truly seen and met and where you discover new possibilities.

With a background in Mind Body practices, I value an integrative approach to emotional well being that recognized the connection between mind and body. I believe meaningful change begins with the courage to understand yourself, challenge familiar patterns, and take ownership of the life you truly want to create. My approach combines psychological insight, genuine connection through a therapeutic relationship, and an individualized plan to support your goals. We won't just talk about insights, we will make a plan to fill the gaps you need to implement the changes.

Okay, let's take the pressure off a little.

You don't have to come in here knowing exactly what your challenge areas are. You don't even need a list of things you want to work on or some perfectly thought out explanation of why you've been feeling the way you do. You may just know you want change and are willing to take the first step.

Maybe you're overthinking a situation, stuck in a cycle of control, or maybe you keep saying yes when you really want to say no. ( Been there)

That's okay, too.

You don't have to have it all figured out before you get here. We will not only work on building insights but we will actually work on implementing them instead of endlessly analyzing.

I am passionate about the work I do with people. I bring thoughtfulness, experience, and a whole lot of heart into the room. You don't have to figure everything out on your own.
