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 8 years as a licensed therapist in Washington, Rhode Island and Connecticut 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 Jan 17, 2026 after therapy with Lourdes for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, and career difficulties
Lourdes has been incredible. This was my first time doing therapy and it has without a doubt, changed my life for the better over the past year. Lourdes walked with me through my anger and anxiety - listening to me, asking questions, and giving me tools to practice until our next session. With her help, I feel so empowered to have more mastery of my own mind, rather than feeling swept away by my own emotions. She has helped me well beyond into topics of family, relationships, and burnout at work - she has a keen listening ear and has continued to advocate for positive change in my life at every session. I would highly recommend!

Written on Dec 19, 2025 after therapy with Lourdes for 2 weeks on issues concerning coping with life changes
Lourdes offers a wide range of therapeutic approaches that support both everyday challenges and the processing of traumatic memories and experiences. She has a remarkable ability to guide clients toward their own insights while fostering autonomy and maintaining a grounded, professional therapeutic presence. I have the utmost confidence in her skills and deeply value her support. I rely on her implicitly to help me navigate emotions and work through difficult or traumatic events.

Lourdes is everything I had been looking for in a therapist! I've tried therapy in person multiple different times and never found my person. If you are a woman, POC, LGBTQ- I would highly recommend her. She is a guide, without being explicit telling you what you should do- unless that is what you need (:

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.

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.

She is the absolute best! I've been through many different therapists and felt as if it was all a hoax. Lourdes truly is one of a kind!

Lourdes is calm and compassionate, encouraging, and a great listener. I’ve only just started working with her, but coming from an aversion to therapy and then being matched with her feels like such a blessing. She is reflective and knowledgeable. I’m actually excited about therapy!
Written on May 13, 2024 after therapy with Lourdes for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Lourdes has been very encouraging from the start. I appreciate her candid and casual demeanor, and the resources she offers beyond the Betterhelp templates. Though she has a lot of knowledge and experience, she speaks in clear, accessible terms, not in therapy jargon.

I’ve had many therapists over the years and even a few sessions in, I know that my time with Lourdes will have a huge impact on my therapy journey to healing! Would recommend her to anyone.
