Counseling Services
Whether you're facing a difficult season or simply want to understand yourself better, therapy can help you move toward healing and growth. Here's how I can support you.
A dedicated space to focus on you. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or a major life transition, we work together to build practical tools for lasting change, resilience, and self-esteem.
Support tailored to how children naturally communicate. Using developmentally appropriate, play-based approaches, I help kids build emotional awareness and healthy coping skills while partnering closely with parents along the way.
Guidance through the complexities of the teenage years. I help teens navigate school stress, anxiety, depression, and identity development — creating a safe outlet to build confidence and emotional regulation.
A supportive space to reconnect and grow together. Whether you are facing communication barriers, conflict, or a life transition, we work collaboratively to rebuild trust and strengthen your relationship.
Culturally responsive care for those who served. As a U.S. Army veteran, I understand the unique transitions military life brings. I offer specialized support for PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, and adjusting to civilian life.
Evidence-based healing for painful memories. Traumatic experiences can affect daily life long after the event. Using EMDR, we gently process and reduce the emotional impact of trauma so you can move forward.
Specialties
You don't have to navigate this season alone. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and hope.
May you always find your oasis.
Our Commitment
The name Oasis Emocional reflects the heart behind this practice — a place where you can pause, breathe, heal, and find hope. Like an oasis offering rest to the weary traveler, we create a calm, confidential space where you can set down what you carry.
"May you always find your oasis. Because you matter." — Jaime Torres-Rivera, LPC
Meet Your Counselor
Founder & Licensed Professional Counselor
Welcome to Oasis Emocional Counseling Services. I believe everyone deserves a place where they can feel safe, heard, and understood. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can explore life's challenges, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful change.
Before becoming a counselor, I proudly served in the United States Army for 12 years. That experience taught me the importance of resilience, compassion, and the courage it takes to ask for help — lessons that continue to shape how I connect with and support my clients.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and veterans experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I provide counseling in both English and Spanish, and strive to create a welcoming space where every person feels respected and valued.
