Marilyn Rivas

I am Marilyn Rivas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over nine years of experience in the field. I began my journey as a social worker in 2012 and became licensed in 2018. I believe that validation and support without judgment are key components to successful therapy. My approach to therapy is centered on each client’s unique needs and preferences. I work collaboratively with my clients to choose the best path toward healing. Sessions may focus on a variety of topics including insight, reflection, identifying and building strengths, understanding patterns, learning coping mechanisms, and more. I am passionate about my work and strive to bring that passion into each session. My goal is to ensure that every client feels heard and understood. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and offer a space where every experience can be explored with openness and respect. If you have experienced a near-death experience (NDE) and have felt misunderstood or disbelieved, I offer a safe and compassionate environment to process and make sense of what you’ve been through together. Even if I'm not the right therapist for you, I encourage you to seek help and know that you don't have to face anything alone. For more information about insurance options, please don't hesitate to inquire. I work with the platforms Grow and Rula, which accept a broader range of insurance plans than I do directly. If your insurance differs from the ones I accept, please ask about how to schedule an appointment through them.
