About Jerry Rivas, AMFT

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood trauma, or relationship and attachment challenges, I can offer a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can explore current struggles and past experiences, empowering you to heal and create the life you deserve. As a queer, Latino, first-generation therapist, I am passionate in providing you with a judgement-free and compassionate space to show up as your authentic self and heal interpersonal and traumatic experiences. I specialize in Somatic Psychology and provide therapy in both English and Spanish for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC youth and adults. My approach blends Psychodynamic, Somatic, Sensorimotor, and Focus-Oriented Psychotherapy, using both both body-based and talk therapy techniques to help clients heal from trauma and step into their most authentic lives. If you are interested in working somatically or feel that I may offer you the welcoming and safe space to start your healing journey, feel free to reach out for a consultation so that we can explore our next steps together. I would be honored to join you on this healing process with you.
