Bilingual Therapy for Trauma, Addiction, and Life Transitions
Practical support for children, teens, and adults across Colorado.
A Practical Approach to Getting Unstuck
Most people reach out for therapy when they feel like they’ve hit a wall. You aren’t looking for a passive listener; you’re looking for a collaborator who can help you find a way forward.
My name is Braulio Rivera. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone has a natural capacity to move toward a better life, but sometimes the “battery is dead” and you need a jump start to get moving again.
I provide a steady, grounded presence for my clients. I don’t rattle easily, and I’m passionate about finding creative ways to connect—whether that’s through traditional talk therapy or using innovative tools like video games to reach kids and teens where they are most comfortable.
