Hi, I’m Yelisa Rivero, a dedicated nurse practitioner focused on supporting your mental and emotional well-being. I provide compassionate, personalized care for concerns like anxiety, stress, mood changes, and life transitions. My approach is simple: listen first, understand your goals, and create a plan that truly fits your life. I believe in a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. You don’t have to go through it alone—I'm here to help.

Are you feeling worried, depressed, or just feeling lonely, lost, exhausted, and tired of the everyday routine and desiring more in life? As humans big or small, we all go through challenging times, we all experience sadness, worry, and stress. However, there are times that we might feel too stuck, too lost, and too overwhelmed to do anything. Life doesn’t have to stay this way. I can help you turn things around and move toward living your absolute best life ever!

I am currently on maternity leave until mid-July. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me). You can check out more information on my website www.wildlyauthenticcounseling.com

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.

If you've been living with constant worry, panic attacks, or the lingering effects of difficult experiences, you may feel exhausted from always being on alert. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. You don't have to continue carrying it all on your own.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, panic disorders, family stress, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns contributing to your struggles while building practical tools that help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable in everyday life.
