Psychotherapy for Adults, Adolescents, and Couples

October 11, 2021

Psychotherapy is beneficial for people of all ages. There’s no age limit associated with mental health issues or conditions that threaten someone’s well-being. My name is Victoria Rivera, and I fully believe there are many ways to help individuals identify the underlying causes associated with their symptoms or condition.

I specialize in helping adults, adolescents, and couples who experience struggle in their day to day lives. My focus is to help you uncover the condition from which you experience and approach them through psychotherapy. Below, we’ll explain the different ways we can help you. 

What Does Psychotherapy Do?

In psychotherapy, you focus on talking about your problems. My holistic approach views you as a whole being. I give you the space you need to gain awareness about who you are, your emotions, your spiritual understanding, and your struggles. Together, we work through the process to determine the best options to increase your overall well-being. A lot of this has to do with self-esteem, self-worth, and self-acceptance. 

Counseling Adults 

Adults go through a number of different stressors every day — from work, relationships, and more. These stresses can cause several emotional struggles, including anxiety, panic, restlessness, and more. These mental health conditions can also cause significant physical symptoms, such as tightness in your chest, trouble breathing, and more. We help adults get a clear idea of what is impacting their lives. 

For many adults, treatment can include a focus on body chemistry, spirituality, diet, nutrition, exercise, and more. To benefit most from holistic psychotherapy , it helps to keep your options open. If you approach the situation with a closed mind, you may not be as willing to try the treatment options that we work to do together.

Counseling Adolescents

You may not know it, but adolescents often endure some of the same stresses as adults. School, relationships, social issues, and more can cause younger teens and children to endure a lot of stress, worry, and panic. Many adolescents are not sure of how to cope with the mental health issues they endure. Speaking with someone in a clear and open space can help younger individuals get to the bottom of what they’re feeling and why these feelings occur. The more they uncover, the easier it is to find treatment options that suit them. 

I work to help adolescent individuals utilize meditation, art therapy, and more through holistic methods to bring themselves peace of mind. 

Counseling Couples

Couples often meet some of the most contentious matters during the course of their relationship. In many situations, the impact of stress, finances, and other familial issues can cause arguments, struggles, and more that can result in divorce. However, before moving forward with a divorce, holistic psychotherapy can be a fantastic option. In a holistic psychotherapy session, you can open up with your significant other. You two can work on your whole selves, determining what may be wrong with your relationship and why it is leading to such contention.

Couples can work through mindfulness, meditation, and communication to determine a solution that works best for you. I’ll be there to listen to your concerns, create a safe space to discuss your relationship, and explain how to help build a strong foundation for your relationship. Couples can benefit greatly in psychotherapy, finding out what treatment options work best for you. 

Get the Help You Need

As a New York City holistic psychotherapist, I work to give you the care and respect you deserve when you seek help for mental health conditions you may endure. I know that it’s not easy to experience some of the stresses that can significantly impact your everyday life. I want to help you discuss your situation, building a connection between your emotions and thoughts, as well as your physical and mental well-being. 

Are you looking for a psychotherapist who is committed to helping you ? Want to ensure you have the right person on your side? I encourage you to give me a chance to address your underlying issues and help you find the solution that suits your needs. I am committed to exploring any and all methods as long as it means we get the chance to help you with the best results possible.

Carewashing

By Admin • August 21, 2024
As JUNE IS EMPLOYEE WELLNESS MONTH! Here an insightful article highlighting the issue of "carewashing" in corporate wellness programs. “Too many organizations with unsustainable “work hard, play hard” cultures believe that merely offering mindfulness training or yoga classes qualifies them as having a positive and safe culture. In reality, they are just checking the well-being box without addressing the underlying issues.” Companies that implement genuine wellness and mental health care initiatives lead to better outcomes for employees and the organization as a whole. If you're interested in transforming your workplace wellness approach, let's connect and discuss how we can make a meaningful difference together. #employeewellness #workplacewellness #corporatewellness

Quiet Vacationing

By Admin • August 21, 2024
I’ve read several articles on “Quiet Vacationing,” and this one does the best job of explaining the underlying issue: “Anxiety is at the root of this practice.” -More than 30% of workers said they were “too anxious” to ask for time off. -About 30% of workers reported concerns about being laid off. -More than a third were worried about the time off itself: about 30% didn’t want to use their PTO, and about a quarter didn’t have any PTO to take. In my personal experience, many employees say they don’t take time off because they will have to make up the work or work a lot before leaving. They feel guilty about leaving work, burdening their colleagues, or facing a backlog of tasks upon their return. It's understandable that they try to get ahead of this and take a vacation while staying connected to work to avoid feeling guilty and overwhelmed. We help companies understand these trends and work to implement genuine wellness and mental health care initiatives that lead to better outcomes for employees and the organization as a whole. Our approach ensures that wellness programs are integrated into the company culture, providing real support and fostering a truly positive and safe work environment.

Battle of the Thermostat

By Admin • August 21, 2024
We are in the midst of a nationwide heatwave, and although I feel grateful to have an office with AC, the temperature is often too cold. This is not the first time, when I worked at a mental health clinic, the summers felt like winter with the office temperature often reading 65 degrees (yes, we had to use a thermometer to advocate for a more comfortable temperature!). I often had to wear sweaters and use a blanket to feel comfortable while working. Studies have shown that women tend to feel colder at work called compared to men, which can lead to discomfort and decreased productivity. On the other hand, men often prefer cooler temperatures and might find when it’s warmer it’s more challenging to focus and impacts productivity. This difference is often due to variations in metabolic rates and body composition. Understanding these differences is crucial for creating a comfortable and productive work environment for everyone. Employers should consider setting office temperatures that accommodate both genders, or providing flexible solutions such as personal fans or space heaters. As we continue to experience extreme weather, it's important to be mindful of how indoor temperatures affect our well-being and productivity. By acknowledging and addressing these differences, we can create a more inclusive and comfortable workplace for all! hashtag #employeewellness #workplacewellness
