Introduction

I'm John Rivera Jr., a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor and EMDRIA Certified Therapist. I’m also a retired U.S. Marine and combat veteran, with 23 years of service in the infantry. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges and life changes. My approach is direct, grounded and collaborative, drawing on EMDR's eight-phase model, CBT, attachment-focused care, emotionally focused therapy and Gottman-informed couples work. I offer therapy in English and Spanish — se habla español. You don't need a polished explanation before we begin. Start with a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss what you're looking for and whether we're a good fit. This is a private-pay practice offering Florida telehealth. Consultations are open now; therapy appointments begin in November 2026. Ask about in-person availability in Wesley Chapel.
