Introduction

You don't have to carry it alone — and you don't need to know exactly what to work on before you begin. I'm John Rivera, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor and EMDRIA Certified Therapist. After 23 years as a U.S. Marine infantryman and combat veteran, I came to this work to serve the people who carry the heaviest loads: veterans, first responders, their families, and adults working through trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. My work is direct, grounded, and collaborative. I integrate EMDR with Gottman-informed couples work, emotionally focused therapy, CBT, and attachment-focused care — practical, evidence-informed treatment tailored to your goals, at a pace you can sustain. I offer secure telehealth throughout Florida, with in-person sessions in Wesley Chapel coming soon. I'm accepting new clients for appointments beginning Monday, November 2, 2026. Start with a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
