About Karissa Rivas
Life can be hard as a child, teen, and an adult. There are so many challenges, obstacles, and struggles that make it difficult and sometimes gets in the way of having a stress-free and enjoyable happy life. Maybe you are struggling to decide where to begin to break down current life stressors or maybe you do not know where to start. Counseling is a great opportunity to help overcome the obstacles, defeat the challenges, and help manage daily struggles to become a happier person.
I’d love to help you feel and be happier because every person deserves so. The counseling approach I use is person centered with trauma informed care focusing on your mental and emotional needs and your goals while respecting your autonomy of choice and your dignity.
I have a passion for helping diverse children, families, and adults manage daily struggles and live an overall happier life. I also understand life is tough, and having a helping hand to walk through it can be very helpful, relieving, and less stressful.
