Hi, I’m Renée Rivers, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in South Florida. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, teens, and families navigating trauma, identity, and major life transitions. As a first-generation Haitian-American woman, I deeply understand the cultural and intergenerational layers that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. My clinical work is grounded in empathy, accountability, and authenticity, I create a space where you don’t have to explain “everything” because I hold space for complexity. I am especially passionate about helping clients unlearn survival patterns that no longer serve them and redefine success, connection, and rest on their own terms.
I’ve worked in school settings, community mental health agencies, and now lead my own private practice, Reflective Rivers Therapy & Consulting. I hold a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling with a specialization in Couples and Family Therapy.
I’m a licensed therapist who works with moms and couples who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected. I specialize in postpartum mental health, anxiety, and the mental load that often falls on women. My approach is warm, direct, and practical—I’ll support you while also helping you shift the patterns that keep you stuck. Therapy with me is a space to be honest, feel understood, and start reconnecting with yourself and your relationship.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding the right therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Reading a provider's bio before booking helps you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
With a large and diverse provider community across Broward County, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you: a specific specialty or therapy style, virtual or in-person sessions, evening or weekend availability, or a provider who speaks your language. A free phone consultation can also help you get a sense of fit before committing to a session.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
