MEET ALEXIS

Alexis Rivera, MSW

Master Social Worker

As a therapist, I create a safe space for children and adolescents, while offering a trusted line of communication to parents and families. My intention is to help my clients pave a pathway toward inner hope, healing, and self-discovery.

I help preteens and adolescents build distress tolerance and acceptance skills to better cope with daily stressors outside of their control while learning to navigate interpersonal relationships and peer-related conflict. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also incorporate elements of Motivational Interviewing, which means I’ll meet you where you’re at, without judgment of where you are or how you got there. Our work begins in a place of mindful acceptance, gradually progressing toward growth and change.
