Hello! I am Rikki Calvert, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I have been a substance use disorder counselor since 2012 and have an active Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC) credential. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to help you identify and heal from past and present concerns. My approach is one of compassionate collaboration - together we will work towards lasting relief and desired life changes.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My goal as your therapist is to collaborate with you to deepen your self-understanding, leading to a more satisfying and emotionally fulfilling life. Together we can identify your concerns to help set up the best course of treatment. If you are ready to make a change, I'd love to work with you to see what the future holds.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with young professionals who are finishing graduate school or are in the first few years of their careers. I partner with young adults to assist them in working through anxieties and uncertainties about the future.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've worked with CBT since 2012. CBT can be utilized to help you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. That knowledge can be used to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
