Naya Rivera

Hi! I would love to share about myself before we get to work focusing all on you! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC for short), I have worked within a variety of levels of care so rest assured I have seen a lot of challenges. I graduated from Thomas Jefferson University, but that doesn't mean I've stopped learning all there is to know in this field. I ideally would be a good fit for someone struggling with depression, anxiety, transitional life stresses, trauma (acute and complex), and anyone wanting to better understand themselves.

In your treatment I will use a variety of skills such as; EMDR, IFS, ACT, EFT, CBT, reality therapy, somatic work and good old fashion unconditional positive regard! I tend to operate as a passenger in you narrative rather than a director of the movie. I will encourage you to say the quiet part out loud or call it like it is. I am always checking in on you and how you are experiencing the world.

In your first session we will typically get to know each other and ease into the therapy process! I like to be as tailored to your journey as I can be, which means taking a bit of time to know you beyond your presenting concerns. There will be a brief chat about what is bringing you into the therapy space while dispelling some myths and fears around the process.
