Alexus Rivera, LMHC (she/her)
Welcome to Starlit Garden Counseling. I am Alexus, owner and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, here to support you during life's hardest moments. I believe that everyone needs an outlet, a space where they can work through challenges, thoughts, and emotions. We each deserve the chance to understand our mental well-being, and to nurture who we are so we can see ourselves thrive. With years of experience supporting adults, couples, and children, I bring a warm, collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based techniques. Together, we will explore your story at a pace that feels right for you.
I graduated with my bachelor's degree in psychology from Florida Atlantic University in 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic. I immediately began working in the field as a mental health worker in Massachusetts, where I studied clinical mental health counseling in a master's program at Johnson & Wales University. I worked in a multitude of settings, including residential treatment facilities, community mental health centers, inpatient units, and in private practice; throughout my master's degree and beyond my graduation in 2022. With all my experiences, I most enjoy the individualized time I can provide clients in private practice therapy sessions.
When I am not in session, you will likely find me reading, spending time with my family, or baking up a storm. I am married, with a very active toddler, and three semi-cuddly cats so free time tends to fill up rather quickly. As a first-generation Latina, who is also a former burned out gifted kid, I know that my personal experiences have shaped who I am as a person and a provider. I hope to reflect empathy and kindness, and to implement action-forward support to help facilitate your growth.
