We don’t get to choose the hand we’re dealt, but we can still play to win.
Did something big and confusing happen that you are trying to make sense of?
You notice anxiety, anger, sadness, or panic that is unusual?
Flashbacks of that memory are becoming more frequent?
You come across triggers of that event daily?
The closest people in your life are no longer trustworthy or you cannot trust yourself anymore?
The people and places that used to be safe are not giving you security anymore?
People that you depended on are no longer alive?
I’m Dr. Angelica Rivera and I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma and loss.
If you have survived a life altering event and are ready to find a new sense of purpose - then you are in the right place! I studied for 4 years to become an expert in trauma, grief and loss in my doctorate program. In those years I was able to become well acquainted with various traumas and issues to support many populations through healing. I’ve successfully provided support to individuals, couples, and families through:
Successful and unsuccessful suicide attempts
-
Divorce
-
Betrayal trauma
-
Domestic violence
-
Deaths in family
-
Miscarriages
-
Sexual assault
-
Panic attacks
-
Religious trauma
-
Racial/Gender related trauma
-
...and more!
