Kristen Herman Rivers is a psychotherapist with over a decade of experience in the field. As someone who has never shied away from challenges, she feels extremely honored to be welcomed into so many people’s inner worlds to help them face their own personal challenges head-on.

Kristen earned a BA in Philosophy from The University of Wisconsin, Madison and a Master of Science from California State University, Northridge where she was a teaching assistant to the then department head, co-leading master-level classes. She spent several years providing therapy to students and professors at Glendale College where she successfully advocated for the inclusion of family and couples therapy. She has worked with people from all different walks of life and gained experience navigating a diverse array of human struggles. In addition to being a licensed marriage and family therapist, she is a clinical supervisor, an EMDR therapist, and a certified clinical hypnotherapist.

In her private practice, Kristen works with many creative people: actors, artists/animators, musicians, directors, editors, and writers. Among her clients are people experiencing life adjustments, neuro-atypical people (those with ADHD, gifted/highly gifted, and/or on the autism spectrum), parents, educators, college and postgraduate students, and adult children of dysfunctional families/narcissistic parents.

Kristen absolutely loves her job and she brings enthusiasm, grit, engagement, and passion to each and every session with her clients.
