I am a Board-certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), dedicated to helping those in the military community navigate emotional and psychological challenges. I focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders.

During my time serving in the U.S. Air Force, I supported service members dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I have also worked with expatriate communities to address the unique challenges of adjusting to life abroad.

My goal is to provide you a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I believe in the power of self-exploration and reflection, while recognizing the importance of everyone’s unique experiences and identity. By working together, you will gain insight, build resilience, and achieve meaningful personal growth, where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes.

Angel Rivera, LSW

Licensed Social Worker

I am a bilingual Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in New York and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in New Jersey, U.S. Army veteran, and cybersecurity professional committed to helping individuals and families overcome trauma, emotional challenges, and major life transitions.

Originally from the Bronx, New York, I served in the U.S. Army at Fort Riley, Fort Polk, Fort Irwin, and Fort Lee. I began my military career as a mechanic before cross-training into the Signal field as a Communications Security (COMSEC) specialist responsible for sensitive communications materials. My military experience shaped the discipline, resilience, and commitment to service that continue to guide my work today.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Iona University and Master of Social Work from Fordham University, followed by a Master of Science in Cybersecurity from Fordham. My clinical experience includes trauma-focused care, CBT, DBT, ACT, grief and bereavement counseling, couples work, and intensive in-community services with children, adolescents, adults, and families.

Working with youth impacted by online sexual exploitation inspired a particular commitment to creating safer digital environments for children. I am passionate about educating parents and caregivers about cyberbullying, online risks, behavioral warning signs, and connecting vulnerable youth with appropriate behavioral-health resources.

I am especially passionate about serving military members and veterans while supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. Outside of my professional work, I am family-oriented and an avid long-distance runner who values fitness, discipline, perseverance, and personal growth.
