Agueda Rivas, LMFT

As a first-gen, Xican@ therapist, I understand the impact of systemic trauma on our mental health and also recognize the generational wisdom within our families/communities. I work to center the experiences and recovery of BIPOC, First Gen and Social Justice & non-profit complex warriors/helpers. I use a recovery oriented lens that is  influenced by values of social justice, feminism and liberation psychology. I am passionate about adults impacted by trauma (interpersonal, systemic), relationship issues, cultural identity development, life transitions, race and class issues, etc. Together, we will examine the narrative you have created, adopted or were assigned. We will examine the ways in which we have adopted aspects of ourselves, families and our communities. Who creates and perpetuates those narratives? Who benefits from them? Together, we may ask more questions initially than we have answers to, however, as we continue, we will work to validate, embrace, develop, challenge and change different aspects of your narrative.  I aim to create a safe, inclusive and intentional space in order to discover what best serves you.
