Victoria RiveraI graduated from Columbia University School of Social work in 1972. Over the past twenty two years I have been working with English and Spanish speaking individuals, families and couples in private practice. My work has evolved to incorporate Contemplative Psychotherapy through four years studying the integration of Eastern and Western healing practices at The Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado.

Experience has taught me that humans yearn to heal in ways that tap their natural and fundamental wisdom. This wisdom reveals that while we all suffer in this life, we always have the option to work with ourselves directly to reduce our suffering. Inwardly we also know that ALL of our experiences, whether painful or joyful, are valuable and can be treated kindly with full acceptance and non-attachment. Contemplative Psychotherapy provides the view and techniques to help us approach our experiences with compassion and to let them go. It also guides us to unlock our natural wisdom and its creative power to address our problems and to take full responsibility for ourselves. In Contemplative Psychotherapy I have found a way of approaching therapy that is fully congruent with life experience and based in principles that promote emotional health and happiness.
