Julio Rivas

I have a decade of experience providing therapy in a variety of settings including counseling college centers, community health centers and private practices. Additionally, I have spent the past 4 years overseeing training programs in charge of the professional development of new therapists. I aim to create a space where you could be open, honest and be yourself. I’m trained to help a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, self-esteem, confidence, work-life balance, and life transitions . However, I do specialize in working with young adults/early career professionals. I am particularly skilled in working on relationship issues (family/friend/romantic) and integration of cultural/identity into my therapy work. I have experience and work well with all backgrounds, including BIPOC individuals, sexual orientations and gender identities. My ultimate goal is to support you. I aim to do this by being honest, caring, empathic and real with you. I aim to work towards your goals and help you grow into the best version of yourself. Therapy is a vulnerable space so I work to go at your pace; encouraging you gain awareness and take risk but only when you are ready for it. We all have beliefs that shape the way we view the world. These beliefs are formed from our family, friends, religion, communities, culture, experiences of discrimination, education, and life moments. These beliefs often guide our behavior where we develop patterns. It's my job to help you gain insight so you can make the most informed choices for you.
