Something brought you here. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or run down. Maybe you’re navigating a life transition, or feeling stuck and disconnected, just going through the motions. Whatever it is, you don't have to figure it out on your own. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience providing individual and family therapy, clinical supervision, and consultation. I'm also a Board Certified Telehealth Professional, Level I, and a Board-Approved Supervisor. I specialize in complex trauma, attachment, loss and grief, and adoption. You’re the expert on your own life and there’s no one right way to therapy. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on what matters most to you… whether that’s deeper understanding, healing, greater confidence, or a space to breathe and just be. You tell me where you’d like to go, and I'll help you navigate the road ahead. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, a good cup of coffee, and hiking with my one-eyed rescue dog, Copper.

With 30 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate life's challenges - whether it's stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, coping with grief, or addressing health-related concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual because I believe therapy works best when it fits your unique needs and life circumstances. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies that help you cope and thrive. My work is grounded in empathy, experience, and a deep belief in people's ability to grow and change. I enjoy helping clients build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. Whether you are a teen or young adult struggling with school/social pressure and figuring out independence and identity, or an adult processing life transitions and past experiences of trauma or family separation, I aim to meet you where you are and support you in making changes that feel achievable and lasting. Everyone brings their own story, strengths, and challenges. I'm here to help you use those strengths, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want - one that feels manageable, authentic, and fulfilling. **Please note that due to a professional conflict of interest, I am currently unable to work with residents of Frederick County, Maryland**

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the George Washington University, and have been providing therapy services to a diverse range of people for over 10 years. I help adults and adolescents decrease feelings of anxiety and depression, develop healthier patterns of thinking, and process past experiences that are causing current challenges.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety is constant, depression feels heavy, or life has shifted in ways you didn’t expect. If you’ve made it here, I want you to know I’m already rooting for you. My name is Mileyni Rivera, and I work primarily with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and human, a space where you can drop the mask and talk honestly about what’s been weighing on you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation to help you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, while integrating trauma-informed approaches based on your needs, goals, and pace. I’m down-to-earth, curious, and genuinely invested in helping you reconnect with your strengths. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, gain clarity, and build practical tools you can use in daily life. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about creating space to heal, understand yourself, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and nonjudgmental space where your story matters. I aim to be curious with you—exploring patterns, beliefs, and behaviors with care rather than criticism. While I draw on structured techniques from CBT, trauma-informed care, and narrative therapy, our work will always be shaped by your goals and needs. I believe that people thrive when they feel understood, and that therapy can be a place to reconnect with your inner strengths and values. Whether you're seeking tools for coping or space to process deeper emotional pain, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you. My hope is that you walk away with both insight and practical support—whether that’s a new perspective, a shift in self-compassion, or a concrete strategy to try between sessions. I work to ensure that therapy isn’t just a place to vent, but a space where meaningful change can take root.

I work with adults who are tired of feeling stuck—in anxiety, relationships, or the same old patterns—and are ready for something different. I look at the whole picture: mind, body, habits, and environment, so you can start feeling more like yourself again, or more like the person you want to become. My approach is down-to-earth and practical. I listen for how you want to feel differently and what you want to change—then we find tools that fit your life. I'm an active therapist: I'll ask questions, offer observations, and work alongside you. My goal is to give you skills and self-compassion, not keep you in therapy forever.

I combine professional training with personal insight to help clients reduce anxiety, eliminate unwanted behaviors, restore emotional balance, and reconnect with joy, purpose, and confidence in their lives.
