Monica M. Rivera-pina
Hello Friend! Everyone at one point or another in life, may experience a host of unbearable stressors, as if weighed down. We may even describe oneself feeling as 'lost in a web of frustration', describe that sense of being as anxious, fatigue, or sadness, whereas our unique threshold has been completely depleted. But did you know feeling anxiousness is normal? Many would not realize, feeling stress is actually a sense of determination to gain back control and the tiredness is just temporary. Anxiousness is innate in all of us. What's not healthy is when the stressors has crossed the threshold to what feels comfortable, before interrupting our daily habits/responsibilities. So, how do we 'fix things' when all we want is solitude? It is said, 'when life throws us lemons, make lemonade'. Simple as finding a helper - therapist. I’ll help you navigate the web of confusion to find YOUR empowerment. My journey began as a young child whose home was a host of struggles/abuse which later became insight into the struggles others experience. I found a well-regarded psychotherapist who helped me learn life-long cognitive tools. Later, I became a psychotherapist, worked in a clinical setting. I garnered a vast amount of knowledge which helped me to specialize in various modalities of treatment. Proper psychotherapists should emphasize there is no such thing as "the magic pill" and most treatments don't require medication. I hold a high standard for clients' rights as a mental health advocate with a high standard for myself. I serve all slices of society including those dealing with depression, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma, adjustment, chronic health and other issues. Together, we can identify what's not working for you. We will find solutions you innately use and form goals that do NOT require much change in your life.
