Deyanira Rivera
I identify as a proud Hispanic from the Dominican Republic, a Christian woman who was born in the U.S . While I lived in the Dominican Republic for some years, this experience allowed me to gain bicultural experience, which helped me connect authentically with diverse communities. I have 8 years experience working with individuals who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, and relationship issues. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore personal challenges and achieve mental health goals. I employ different therapy approaches based on your needs. Together, we will identify and change unhelpful thoughts, develop self-regulation skills, and navigate difficult relationships and situations. You will also learn how to process difficult memories, feel safe, regain control, and move forward in your life. If desired, I can also incorporate faith-based techniques to support your healing process.

I was looking for a Christian Counselor. Our first session went very well. Deyanira already had suggestions on what to focus on and how we would move going forward.

I’ve been seeing Dee for a few months now, and she has been a real support in my life. It’s not easy to find a Christian therapist, so I’m very glad I found her. She offers great perspective and clear direction on how to bring your situations to God for guidance.

My biggest fear when searching for new providers is that first conversation, I never know what to talk about. But my first session with Dee was amazing. I left feeling confident this would be a long‑lasting relationship. She was super attentive and guided me with care, patience, and laughter. She reminded me of that auntie who has your back but keeps you accountable. I’m excited to keep growing together, Dee!
