Terry Rivera

For the past ten years (mostly in private practice) I've helped adults and teens manage the inevitable difficulties of life and make choices (in life and in relationship) which honor their true needs and desires.

My therapeutic approach is informed by an Existential-Humanistic perspective, honoring our universal needs for authenticity, connection, and purpose. This means our work together will often focus on identifying your truth, engaging more deeply and honestly with the people you love, and taking action toward a life in alignment with your values and dreams.

I invite you to unload your burden and catch your breath. I’ll help you sort through any frustration, pain, or anxiety you’re feeling, allowing you to gain the clarity to lay out the path forward. Through guided exploration and my direct, compassionate feedback you’ll develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your situation and grow your capacity to handle (or tackle!) life’s inevitable obstacles. I am grateful to say I have witnessed profound change in my clients. When one reconnects with their strength, self compassion, and courage in a safe environment, healing and growth are truly possible.
