Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in District of Columbia

Hello! I believe that therapy is a powerful tool that can be used for growth. However, finding your ideal therapist may be a challenge. My goal is to provide warmth, comfort, and understanding as we work collaboratively through your therapeutic experience. While being licensed in MD, VA, and DC, I am here to help you on your mental health journey.

Hello,

My name is Keisha and I specialize in treating various issues. I appreciate the opportunity to provide my services to you. I create a safe space for my clients, free of judgement and full of understanding.

A highly motivated, result-oriented Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in nursing. Providing holistic, evidence-based, patient-centered care.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington, DC. I provide psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

I currently work with the Integrative Digestive Health team at UCLA Health and also provide therapy through Lyra Health. I bring extensive experience across medical and mental health settings, including six years as a liver transplant social worker at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, work on the first COVID unit at George Washington University Hospital, and leadership roles in community mental health organizations in Washington, DC.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, grounded in trauma-informed care. I primarily use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies while tailoring treatment to each individual. I have particular expertise in trauma, the intersection of physical and mental health, and interpersonal relationships. I offer both short- and long-term therapy and believe meaningful change happens in a space that feels safe, supportive, and authentic.

I am happy to provide a free 15-minute consultation (upon request) to ensure a good fit. To request a consultation, please email: [email protected].

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking in the Los Angeles mountains, kayaking, and spending time with my rescue dog, Sophia.

Dr. Rivera employs an integrative style that focuses on the individual's sleep, diet, physical and mental fitness. He enjoys working in particular with weight loss, men's wellness, de-prescription from psychotropic medications, and detox from long-term substance use: tobacco, alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines. Furthermore, he specializes in the diagnosis and management of attention, mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

I am a licensed neuropsychologist who holds the perspective that everyone has a vibration that needs to be heard and understood. With that as a central principle, I invite you to explore your right to be well through the process of being heard. While various forms of psychological assessment have been a large part of my practice for more than 20 years, I have found that my experience in this area has been useful in helping provide practical solutions to problems as well as insights. In this way, I make use of various treatment approaches to foster a sense of acceptance, validation, and clarity.
