MSW, LCSW
Accepting Clients

I am Marilyn Rivas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten of experience in the field of social work and a therapist since 2018.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, CA

About My Clients

I have worked with various different populations; across all populations I have noticed that what we all have in common is the need for validation. To be heard and validated is the beginning of the healing process.

My Background and Approach

Throughout my career, I have helped individuals through difficult moments and guided them towards strengthening their relationships, allowing them to thrive outside of therapy. My approach to therapy is centered on the client's unique needs and preferences. I work collaboratively with my clients to choose the best approach towards healing. Sessions may focus on a variety of topics including insight, reflection, identifying and building strengths, understanding patterns, learning coping mechanisms, and more. I am passionate about my work and strive to bring that passion into each session. My goal is to ensure that every client feels heard and understood. Even if I'm not the right therapist for you, I encourage you to seek help and know that you don't have to face anything alone. For more information about insurance options, please don't hesitate to inquire.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every experience is a lesson, guiding us to continually learn and grow. We are all interconnected, not just with each other, but also with nature. Growth comes from taking risks and trusting our intuition. I have faith in the power of empathy, love, and nurturing.
