Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I’m Rita and I’m glad you’re here! I specialize in working with young adults (18-35 years old), that identify as artists, creatives, healers and therapists to uncover their motivations, passions, and internal voices. I have advanced training in and specialize in PTSD, Developmental Trauma, and Attachment. Trauma can create global effects on the mind and body, and I work hard, alongside my clients, to remove trauma blocks from their path, in order to clear the way towards the bold lives that they have dreamed for themselves. I utilize EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help my clients work somatically to heal trauma stored in the body. Depending on the needs of my client, I may pull from EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Strengths Based Therapy, Mindfulness, Solutions Focused Therapy, Harm Reduction, and Depth Psychology. When appropriate and requested, I will also investigate issues of spirituality with clients. As a late Gen X’er, I unabashedly love Millennials and Gen Z. I believe both of these generations have talents and strengths not yet fully recognized and embraced by society at large, and I love being a part of helping to change the world by uncovering these gifts, for all to see. I look forward to working with you as you uncover the best parts of yourself!
