While we do not bill insurance directly, we can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. At Riviera Therapy, we offer therapy in both English and Spanish (Nosotras hablamos español). We focus on creating a safe space where clients can explore emotions, build resilience, and achieve greater mental wellness.

The Pleasure Project is a division of Riviera Therapy dedicated to sexual wellness. The Pleasure Project, led by Sexologist Dr. Jenn Kennedy, includes small group programs for women or couples, a podcast, newsletters, merchandise, and juicy content for women and couples seeking more connection and sexual satisfaction. Through this content, we explore challenging beliefs related to desire and sexual pleasure.  We will also review toys, identify your erotic attachment style, and answer all your burning questions.
