Valerie Abrigo Rivera, LMHC

Valerie is a bilingual and multicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts, with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate & is Reiki Level-I certified. She has over 10 years of professional experience working in a variety of settings including community mental health, clinical research and public health education. Valerie believes that self-care is not selfish, that we benefit from asking ourselves the question, ""Does this serve me?"" and that our single greatest tool for navigating the beautiful chaos of life lies in our ability to try on new perspectives and build our capacity for flexible thinking in the ""grey"" rather than black and white. By choosing to make time for ourselves, we are better able to show up in the other domains of our lives. Valerie is especially passionate about supporting Latinx folks and women caregivers who seek to be more mindful while raising young children.

Valerie offers therapy and coaching informed by the principles of counseling psychology & guided by the use of SMART goals, psychoeducation, mindfulness training, breathwork, Motivational Interviewing, CBT & DBT.
