Family therapy and counseling in Schertz, TX

I understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for about a decade. The bulk of my training came from working for the local mental health authority with clients who carried diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and a lot of adjustment disorder. I had an in person private practice for several years, until covid hit.

I'm here to help others become their best self & humbled to help someone through their personal growth. Therapy is a safe space; together, I would like to support healing & allow change with grace.

Hi, I’m Renée Rivers, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in South Florida. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, teens, and families navigating trauma, identity, and major life transitions. As a first-generation Haitian-American woman, I deeply understand the cultural and intergenerational layers that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. My clinical work is grounded in empathy, accountability, and authenticity, I create a space where you don’t have to explain “everything” because I hold space for complexity. I am especially passionate about helping clients unlearn survival patterns that no longer serve them and redefine success, connection, and rest on their own terms.

I’ve worked in school settings, community mental health agencies, and now lead my own private practice, Reflective Rivers Therapy & Consulting. I hold a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling with a specialization in Couples and Family Therapy.

I have a strong multicultural training background, particularly regarding faith and spiritual matters. I strongly believe in the power of faith in healing.

I also work best with clients who want to find solutions to their problems. I want my clients to understand they have the power to make things better in their lives.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and a genuinely active listener. I bring authenticity and warmth into the therapy room—along with a healthy sprinkle of humor.

I have a master's degree in mental health counseling and have been working with the court systems for the last 9 years leading groups as well as individual/couple sessions.

I'm a therapist, a mom, and someone who genuinely loves the community I live in. Outside of my practice, you'll find me at local events, volunteering, and spending time with my family. That grounding shapes how I show up in session: warm, real, and without judgment. I work with people navigating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, grief, anger, stress, questions of identity, and relationship struggles. Whatever you bring in, my goal is for you to feel heard and taken seriously.
