Hello! My name is Bianca Rivera and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been working within the mental health field for about 5 years and recently opened up my own virtual private practice. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from University of St. Francis and my Master's Degree in Social Work from Aurora University. My areas of focus include working with adults and adolescents with attachment-based and cultural issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, chronic illness, career burn out, and healthcare workers. My approach to therapy includes integrating your mind, body and soul by using evidenced based techniques such as somatic (body based), cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and attachment based interventions. I believe collaborating with and learning from you about your background, ethnicity, experiences and belief system is essential to tailoring what approach will nurture your needs best. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and provide a culturally competent safe place for all individuals.
