JOHN D. RIVERA, LCSW As a therapist and person of diversity I cannot claim to share everyones unique experiences. What I offer is a therapist who can apply the years of education, skills, and clinical experience with openness, compassion and respect for your uniqueness. Our therapy together holds an opportunity to connect through our shared experience of diversity now matter how different. Often my patients share accounts of finding and working with therapist who truly understand them. In their stories I hear the frustration and disappointment around stereotyping, misgendering, and blindness to the individuals cultural identity. Much of my work has focused on the experiences of first or second generation immigrants in the United States. On the positive side my work with these patients has provided an opportunity for the patient and myself to look at the components of their unique identities, thought patterns, influences, and diversity to explore how these factors impact their experience of the here and now.

As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I believe that psychotherapy is most beneficial when it can address both broad and specific problems and help people find solutions to life's conflicts and stressors. Chronic stress and chronic relational conflicts often become obstacles to leading an emotionally healthy and rewarding existence. Ultimately, I believe the goal of therapy is to enable people to make decisions that will allow them to feel most satisfied, productive and in control of their lives. Likewise, learning to cope with life's everyday stressors, as well as crises can be an important part of psychotherapeutic work. My approach is tailored to individual needs and focuses on building a collaborative dialogue in which to work towards identified therapeutic goals. This includes symptom reduction (anxiety, depression, self-harm), as well asworking with issues pertaining to gender, sexuality, creative blocks, performance anxiety, infertility and parenting issues, among others. Consulting with a psychologist and taking the step forward to begin psychotherapy can be one of the best investments you make in yourself. Therapy is an effective tool to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster personal growth. Research has shown that psychotherapy enhances overall mental health, and self-esteem. Psychotherapy can also be helpful in making informed decisions regarding real life dilemmas. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which to explore the subtle and not-so-subtle psychological and emotional factors that influence all aspects of one's life.

Practicing individual, marital and family therapy for almost 20 years. Educated and trained in California, interned, licensed, and practiced in Boston, Massachusetts.

Modalities used are primarily CBT and insight-oriented psychotherapy with a directive approach and engagement in process centered on client needs and goals.

Our problems with our friends lovers families and workmates, frequently reflect our struggles with our selves. Feeling stuck, lost chronically angry or unhappy, can result from conflicts and feeling states inside us that we are unaware of. Also, unresolved issues from the past, can result in chronic emotional disruption and pattens of thinking feeling and perceiving that work against us I provide the kind of focused listening and safe, relaxed environment that allows each individual I work with to develop a self awareness and self acceptance that lead internal and external changes. I do insight oriented psychotherapy combined with EMDR, and other techniques that are geared toward faster resolution of old issues, and paving the way toward making change.

Every Saturday, I do a free demonstration on Zoom of my practical approach to psychotherapy at 9 AM Eastern. I take a volunteer and discuss a problem, and I show them how to change their emotional and behavioral reactions to the adversity they face. I help people change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to address their problems more effectively. Observing my work will help you see how I teach people practical solutions to their problems. Write to me to get the Zoom link view the free audio and video on this sensible approach to therapy. Do your homework before you choose your therapist. Psychotherapy is more than a confidential relationship where you vent week after week. I teach you skills and ideas you can use for the rest of your life to cope with life's most difficult challenges.

NYC AFFIRMATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY LCSW PLLC is a community focused sustainable sliding scale mental health practice in Manhattan providing treatment to individual adults ages 18+. Our mission is simple: provide affirmative psychotherapy in a sustainable way to the community. By affirmative we mean that we do not view individuals from the perspective of being defective or needing to be fixed. We instead recognize the innate strengths that continue to allow people to function while enduring difficult life circumstances. Challenging childhoods and distressing adult experiences, coupled with the toxic impact of systemic oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and xenophobia impact our mental health. Our goal is to fill a gap in mental health services provided to those that are historically marginalized and disenfranchised; we are especially committed to serving queer communities of color. We also strive to be culturally aware and trauma-informed. And, most importantly, we’re here to help you feel better and make change. We firmly believe that change is possible and that we as human beings grow in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. You are not alone. Lets take the next step together.

Imagine having the tools to explain clearly to your partner how you feel about something he/she said or didn't say… Imagine being able to speak to your children in a way that conveys how much you love them, but also firmly establishes limits and boundaries… Imagine the relief in being able to acknowledge, both to yourself and to another person in a safe, confidential therapeutic setting, feelings of hatred and rage toward someone in your life... Imagine being able to clearly and confidently state, "I want my future in 10 years to look like…." and having a mapped out plan to achieve it... We all have struggles.

I have a creative based and psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy practice. I pull from all theories of human development and apply them as they apply specifically to the issues at hand. Strengths and problems are both addressed as the individual finds important. My expertise is on emotional regulation, identity development, and relationship dynamics. We may focus on the hear and now, address past issues, and often connect the two to address and resolve current distress. I listen and find listening to be a major part of the therapeutic work. Goals and perspectives addressed in treatment are arrived at collaboratively. Education and support can be offered as dynamics unfold and the therapy deepens and transforms.

What is your soul trying to tell you? The person you were a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago, is still inside of you. Each of these selves has a voice, an opinion, and as a result there is a lot of inner noise, which can drown out the voice of your soul, the divine spark within. Subscribing to the spiritual model, I view psychotherapy as a spiritual process. My role is to help you hear the voice of your soul so you can move from where you are to where you want to go. I incorporate insights and techniques from various spiritual traditions as well as from Transpersonal Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Twelve-Step Recovery, and Spiritual Self-Schema Therapy (SSST), in particular. The primary goal of SSST is to strengthen your spiritual self so healthier scripts (behaviors) can emerge in your life. As a psychotherapist, who is also an intuitive and a rabbi, I am fluent in spirituality, and can help you to create a spiritual practice to enhance your psychotherapy.

One way describe therapy is that it is simply a conversation centered specifically your life. It is different from talking to family or friends because the historical complications that can accompany talking with family and friends are removed. Of course the image that people carry of therapy may be different from what I just described and may be more specific as well. For some the image of therapy is lying on a couch while their analyst makes occasional comments about their free associations. For others the therapist is very active with lots of comments, advice, and direction. Which is the correct method? Is something else the right way? My belief is that it depends on what is best for each patient because everyone is different and therefore has different needs. It’s true that I have a style and don’t just become some new therapist with each given session. Rather, what I am saying is that I take what each person’s experiences have been and where they come from into major consideration when working with each person. Consider that I don’t talk to my fifteen year old patients exactly the way I speak to my fifty year old patients. Imposing some pre-existing template onto a person neglects who they are. This is ineffective at best and injurious in its insensitivity at worst. As a result, meeting a therapist and talking to see if there is compatibility is what I recommend. This simply helps to establish whether a second conversation is a good idea.

“Does your child or teen suffer from anxiety, depression, sleep issues or other difficulties at school or at home? These problems can cause a great deal of pain, sadness, and frustration for a child and his or her family. Some children are faced with the challenge of adjusting to a major change in their lives, such as a death in the family, a medical illness, or a divorce. Others have a learning disability or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which can impact their self-esteem and functioning at school and at home. Some children have difficulty making friends. My aim in working with children and adults is to help them to identify their strengths, to cope with weaknesses, and to ultimately meet their goals. I strive to help your child feel happier, more confident and better able to cope with difficulties. Therapy can help alleviate the suffering of your child and facilitate growth and development. I meet with parents regularly to discuss your concerns or just to check in. Please feel free to call me if you would like to schedule a consultation or if you have any questions or concerns!”

I am a warm, engaging Clinical Psychologist. My orientation is cognitively-based, so therapy sessions are conversational, pragmatic, and focused primarily on the here-and-now. We work on setting therapeutic goals and collaborate on methods to attain them. In addition to my practice, I am active on the faculty at Weill-Cornell Medical College/New York Presbyterian Hospital. Anxiety is the body’s “hard-wired” false alarm. Defusing these alarms by facing dreaded fears is the central ingredient in overcoming shyness, panic attacks, or phobias. The art of treatment is knowing exactly how to fit the plan to the individual, and what procedures will best bring this about. In established relationships, people come to take each other for granted, which is the root of most other issues. The emphasis is on focusing upon what is or has been wonderful about the relationship, and acting on these strengths. How often are compliments, favors or gifts exchanged? This makes even significant conflict far easier to resolve! Activating oneself, self-care, exercise, taking pleasure and rediscovering a sense of accomplishment in the "little things" is a first and necessary step toward improvement. Surprisingly, progress becomes smoother once the inertia is overcome. Diets don't work. Individualized programs with a minimum of restriction and deprivation are motivating. Healthy foods, eaten frequently, and a positive sense of self go a long way. Moreover, bulimia is treatable, through carefully tailored food choices, mood management, and learning to tolerate a sense of being overwhelmingly full.

Have you chosen to take the first step toward resuming control in your life? This is an excellent beginning toward creating and attaining your personal goals. This is a journey of self-discovery you will no longer make alone. I would enjoy helping you to overcome your fears and problems that are stopping you from moving forward. We will discuss issues (past and present) that have kept you immobile. From there, you will gain insight My therapeutic approach is a collaborative one; I believe in being interactive and encourage a dialogue while we work together in a professional, yet comfortable, setting. I have 30+ years of experience as a psychotherapist and although psychodynamically trained, I employ an eclectic approach because each individual is distinct. In addition to my work as a therapist, I have a background in the performing arts (dance and music) which gives me an understanding of issues related to performers.

In addition to understanding your past and your present, I will listen for what's missing in your life, explore what you truly yearn for, and what is keeping you apart from that. I have extensive experience working with clients who are struggling in relationships with others, struggling being alone without partnership, have anxiety, depression, or past family pain and trauma. My work is based on the individual client, but there are a few modalities that inform my work. I approach psychotherapy from a in-depth approach and HOLISTIC framework, incorporating the body, mind, and spirit - bringing moment to moment awareness into our work together. I offer a FREE consultation on the phone for us to see if I can help with what you are needing.

What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis." Often my clients are dealing with depression and anxiety related to difficulty making decisions, are stuck in an unsatisfying job, or are feeling confused and uncertain about the next step in their life. My goal is to help you understand what you want and what's holding you back. I help by exploring underlying resistance/barriers to accomplishing your goals. I help you face your fears by using a combination of CBT, to understand and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, and EMDR which helps to work through and integrate important memories from your past to help you succeed. Together we can go deeper so you can see lasting change and discover your best self. Together we can work to figure out your purpose.

Sessions look different for everyone. I integrate different styles into my practice and use what may work best for you in a given session. My approach is mind-body based, so we don’t just look at your thoughts and feelings, but also look at how your body respond to our mental and emotional states (anger, sadness, anxiety, happiness…etc). A heavy portion of my work is bringing attention to how we relate to and understand our bodies. I also incorporate the creative/expressive arts (drawing, writing, movement) and this is considered another way to get in touch with parts of ourselves that we may not be aware of. Sometimes creative engagement provides an easier or more natural way to access our inner selves than just talking. I practice from a holistic approach that is social justice oriented, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive.
