Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Riverside, CA

I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.

I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.

Hi, I’m Lisa Bove, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and also a non-judgmental Christian minister based in Southern California. With nearly three decades of experience, I’m here to support individuals from all walks of life, including those in the LGBTQI+ community, as they navigate the challenges of grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. I also specialize in end of life issues. I know how difficult it can be to reach out, but I’m committed to creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel truly heard and supported.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m Maria Zavala, a Bilingual/Bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, identity exploration, and emotional challenges, with a strong focus on culturally responsive care. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, grounded, and safe while we gently explore what’s been weighing on you and begin creating a path forward that feels authentic, steady, and truly yours.

I am a highly skilled therapist with a strong focus on trauma therapy, substance abuse, and mental health. I hold dual licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and as an Associate Clinical Counselor. My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from William Jessup University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development from California State University, Chico.

I have experience working with individuals struggling with their mental health issues. Through therapy, we can discuss the areas of support that need your attention.

I actively participate in helping you get to where you want to go, and I offer insight when clients have a desire and readiness to hear it. I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years as well, so I have heard it all! My office is a no judgement zone first and foremost. I am a sex therapist and look forward to helping you overcome sexual shame and trauma so that you can have all the intimacy and closeness you desire.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is direct yet empathetic with a strength-based approach. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Couples, Family Therapy, Grief and Loss, Anger Management, Feedback Informed Care, LGBTQIA+, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, DID, Kinks, and Complex Trauma. My style/approach is a fit for teens and adults who may be dealing with challenges in their lives, both personally and professionally. These challenges may manifest as anxiety, depression, guilt, and anger.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly without fear of judgment. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or uncertain about their next step. Many of my clients are men navigating relationships, career/school stress, anxiety/depression, fatherhood, major life transitions, and other challenges. I provide a supportive space to explore what's going on beneath the surface while helping you build practical strategies for moving forward. Let's work together to identify the roadblocks in your life and approach the here and now with clarity and intention.

I work with adults who’ve experienced trauma; whether it’s childhood wounds, relationship pain, or something you can’t quite name but still feel every day. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a cornerstone of my work, and it helps you process what’s stuck without reliving every detail. Together, we’ll focus on practical relief, emotional balance, and helping you reconnect with your life in the present. EMDR helps your brain heal from trauma by reprocessing painful memories, so they lose their grip. I will guide you through that process safely and directly, helping you reduce anxiety, calm triggers, and feel more present. Together, we’ll work toward relief and lasting peace.

I am a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. My career is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating life’s most vulnerable, chaotic moments with a deeply grounded, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed approach.

My background spans crisis intervention, community leadership, and family advocacy. I have specialized experience with youth and young adults, including aged-out foster youth, justice-involved young adults, and teens navigating severe crisis, self-harm, or substance use. I also specialize in family reunification and breaking generational cycles of abuse, having worked closely with child welfare and served as an international speaker on child abuse prevention and women's empowerment for DIF in Tijuana, Mexico. Additionally, I provide individual and group therapy for court-mandated domestic violence offenders, addressing accountability and toxic masculinity.

Whether you are a young adult rewriting your future, a parent fighting for your family's healing, or an individual ready to break old cycles, I provide a compassionate, safe, and culturally responsive space to guide you forward. Sana tus heridas en tu propio idioma.
