About me

Welcome to my therapeutic practice. Engaging in therapy is a deeply personal journey, and finding a therapist with whom you can connect and grow is essential. I believe that therapy is a unique experience for each individual, shaped by their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and needs. However, it's crucial to understand that real change can only happen if the client is willing to work towards it. A therapist is not a magician who can make everything happen without the client's active participation and commitment to the process.

In my six years as a licensed therapist in Washington, I've come to understand the profound impact that therapy can have on one's life. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I offer bilingual services to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for all clients.

Therapy has evolved from traditional models to a more person-centered approach, where the focus is on building a collaborative and trusting relationship between therapist and client. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely.

Creative expression is a powerful tool in therapy, allowing for the exploration of unspoken feelings often associated with shame. Through active listening and compassionate support, I aim to help you navigate difficult topics with courage and resilience.

Setting boundaries and taking responsibility for oneself are essential aspects of good mental health. My role as a therapist is to empower you to take ownership of your journey and make positive changes that align with your values and goals.

It's also important to recognize that therapists come with various styles and approaches. Some may focus on cognitive-behavioral techniques, while others might use humanistic, psychodynamic, or integrative methods. Finding a therapist whose approach resonates with you is key to a successful therapeutic relationship.

Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to equip you with the skills and insight needed to navigate life's challenges independently. I believe that social media often leads us to seek external guidance when the answers lie within ourselves. It's important to prioritize self-care and recognize the value of investing in your mental health.

Opting into a therapeutic relationship can be life-changing, not only for yourself but also for those around you. I am committed to accompanying you on your transformative journey towards positive change and personal empowerment.

I look forward to the opportunity to support you as you discover your inner strength and resilience, and I'm here to provide guidance, compassion, and encouragement every step of the way.

Written on Dec 11, 2024 after therapy with Lourdes for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

Lourdes is wonderful to work with. She has helped me with tools, homework assignments and helping me understand myself on a much deeper level. I’m able to understand things better with a different perspective in regards to childhood experiences with my mother. She’s helped me process the grief of her death as well. I’m in a much better place then when I first met her and that has a lot to do with her counseling me and guiding me.

Written on Dec 05, 2024 after therapy with Lourdes for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

Lourdes is a fantastic therapist! It’s obvious to me how much she cares and has the experience to help her patients through whatever they are experiencing. She’s always early to her session and is easy to talk to. She is nonjudgmental and often provides material to support her clients after the therapy session has ended. I highly recommend Lourdes!

Ms. Cabret Rivera is a wonderful and empathetic person. She's attentive, listens, and provides positive feedback. She is easy to talk to and has experience with a variety of situations. She has a lot to bring to each session and makes me feel good afterwards, even though therapy can be jarring to individuals homeostasis. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is interested in becoming their best self.
