About Esperanza Rivera, MA

Anxiety, depression, and big life changes can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Life is hard enough without constant worry, low motivation, or feeling unsure about what’s next. These struggles can affect your relationships, school or work, confidence, and daily energy. Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same patterns or not reaching your goals. You don’t have to handle it alone. Therapy gives you tools, support, and a safe space to grow, heal, and move forward with clarity and confidence. 

I help people work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and big life changes. I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and judgment-free. I use simple, proven tools like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help you understand your thoughts, manage emotions, reach your goals, and build real confidence and resilience in everyday life.

Anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress can make life feel overwhelming—especially during big changes. I help teens and adults who feel stuck, drained, or unsure of themselves. I create a safe, supportive space and use CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to build focus, confidence, and balance. You don’t have to do this alone—reach out for a free 15-minute consult.
