Masters Social Worker

Hey! I am Kathleen Benitez-Rivera. I provide therapy services at our Fitchburg clinic.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in the past 7 years. I have worked in different outpatient settings, with a variation of populations and ages. My goal is to create a safe and accepting space for you to share the different struggles you may be facing in life and support you in finding a healthy way to manage with those struggles. I will work with you in finding your inner strengths, acceptance if needed, solutions to problems that may feel impossible and many more.

Together, we will create a thoughtful space where you can explore your feelings. Using techniques like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior therapy and Art therapy, I can help you build communication skills and coping skills so you can face life’s challenges with greater confidence and self compassion

I believe that acknowledging your feelings and asking for help are two of the bravest things a person can do. It’s not always easy to ask for help but I want you to know that you are worthy of having support. I look forward to helping you understand yourself better and maybe the world as well on your journey to having more inner peace.
