Hi, I’m Cristina Rivera, LICSW, licensed in Florida and Massachusetts and Level Three TEAM-CBT Certified. I’m also a proud Latina, and outside of work, I love spending time in the outdoors, staying active, and connecting with others while exploring what makes each person unique. 

I believe in the power of humor, deep connection, and meaningful conversation. Therapy is valuable, but what makes it truly transformative is the relationship you have with your therapist and a space where you can feel heard, seen, and understood. 

I like to live a little outside my comfort zone: I started improv a few years ago to try something scary, I’m newly exploring an art class, and I always make time for family, friends, and the outdoors. These experiences remind me how important curiosity, play, and creativity are in life and they also shape how I approach therapy.

My approach blends relational therapy with TEAM-CBT, helping adults gently challenge and break negative thought patterns, reduce anxiety and depression, and build healthier ways of thinking. Together, we work toward emotional steadiness, clarity, and confidence.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to navigate it on your own. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see if it feels like a good fit. I’d be honored to walk alongside.
