Every person arrives carrying something different. These are the paths clients most often walk with us — they can stand alone or weave together.
Nineteen years of experience in crisis intervention, trauma, family dynamics, suicide prevention, depression, anxiety, and gender identity, among others. The focus is a strong, compassionate, safe therapeutic relationship — on an individual basis.
A holistic approach treats you as a whole. We offer cacao ceremonies in group and individual sessions, KAP (ketamine-assisted psychotherapy) and psychedelic integration therapy, and group retreats — so your shift can be long-lasting and sustainable.
Workplace learning designed to enhance employee performance. Targeted trainings address stress and anxiety, burnout prevention, and team building — built to promote real growth and development on the teams you already have.
My name is Rissy. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and migrated to the USA at age 11. I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2006. I am an avid reader, an outdoors lover, and a mother of four amazing souls.
As a psychotherapist with 19 years of experience working with individuals, youth, couples, and families across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, I recognize the value of a strong, compassionate, and safe therapeutic relationship. My commitment is to inspire growth and connection — to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet — as we journey through this human experience.

Starting therapy can feel like standing at a door you haven't walked through yet. Here are the questions we hear most from new clients.
The first session is mostly a conversation. You share what's bringing you in, and we see if we're a good fit. There's no script you need to follow. If you want to bring notes, bring notes. If you want to just talk, we just talk.
Both. In-person sessions happen at our Milford, PA office. Telehealth is available for clients across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Yes. Rissy is bilingual — native fluency in both English and Spanish. You can do sessions in either language, or move between them.
It means treating you as a whole being — mind, body, and spirit — rather than only the symptom you walked in with. Cacao ceremonies, meditation, group retreats, and psychedelic integration are some of the tools we draw on, always alongside traditional psychotherapy, never instead of it.
You don't have to know right away. Most clients use the first session or two to feel it out. If something isn't clicking, we'll talk about it — and if referring you elsewhere would serve you better, we'll do that honestly.
Everything you share stays between you and your therapist, within the standard HIPAA and state-law protections. Exceptions are the legally required ones (risk of harm to self or others, abuse reporting), which we'll go over in your first session.
This form isn't clinical — it's just a first hello. Share what feels comfortable, and we'll reply with availability and next steps, usually within two business days.
