I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience supporting women, children, and families through trauma, crisis, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. I earned both my BSW and MSW from the University of Texas at Arlington, and much of my career has been spent serving in faith‐based communities and the child welfare system. Four years ago, I became independently licensed so I could offer more accessible and approachable mental‐health care to people who may feel uncertain or overwhelmed by traditional therapy settings. My style is warm, creative, solution‐focused, and direct, helping clients gain clarity and make meaningful, practical changes. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where people can heal, grow, and navigate life with confidence.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported, not judged. My role is to help you understand what may be keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, and develop practical tools to move forward. Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in mental and behavioral health.

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.

To say "things aren't always easy" is often an understatement. Sometimes things are more than hard, and may have been piling up for a while. Whether you're battling depression, anxiety, grief, or changes in life, I'm here to help. I've worked with children, teens and adults in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where they work to sort out their struggles. I have seen the damage trauma can do to relationships, but have also seen the power in connecting with others.

You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.
