Yira Rivas

I am a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and significant life stressors. I specialize in helping clients identify unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build practical coping tools that translate into daily life. My work is both compassionate and goal-oriented, focused on helping you move from feeling stuck to feeling more grounded, confident, and in control.

I utilize a person-centered, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s needs. My clinical work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness-based interventions.

I believe therapy should be both supportive and structured. Together, we will clarify your goals, explore the patterns contributing to distress, and develop sustainable strategies that improve mood, reduce anxiety, and strengthen overall functioning.

Our first session is focused on clarity and direction. We will explore what brings you to therapy, identify priority areas for support, and begin outlining a plan tailored to your needs. You can expect thoughtful questions, active collaboration, and a space that feels grounded and nonjudgmental.
