I was a little nervous at first to come to a therapist's office, but the moment I stepped in, I immediately felt a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Every therapist I encountered was friendly and made it easy for me to feel comfortable in the space. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking support!!

As someone very sensitive to energy, I can confidently say that the Riveria Therapy office has the most comforting vibe of any therapy office I have ever been in! While the office itself immediately makes you feel welcomed and accepted, the people are what make the place. Everyone I had the pleasure of interacting with was warm, kind, and inviting, and made me feel overwhelmingly comfortable and safe.

Jenn Kennedy came highly recommended as a couple's counselor by many people, and she did not disappoint. In fact, the hours spent in her office always exceeded our expectations, and sent us back out feeling loved by — and connected to — each other. Jenn is funny, smart, courageous — doesn’t take sides!!! — and is a terrific and trustworthy guide through the potentially tricky territory of sex as well. We now happily join those who recommended her to us.

Ever since my rough patch that I went through I have been seeing Jacquelyn who has been an amazing therapist and extremely professional. I always feel comfortable with her and sharing all of my feelings unlike some other therapists where I was scared of being judged. She is an amazing person who clearly cares and gives amazing advice whenever I need it and has made a significant impact on my life. Could not ask for better support from Riveria Therapy.

I attended a workshop with Dr. Jenn on female sexuality that was not only informative, but engaging. It helped me directly in my work with women professionals and couples. Additionally, she assisted me with some technical expertise I needed to make my practice more visible. Thank you so much Dr. Jenn!

Riviera Therapy is an amazing resource for those looking to heal. The office space is clean and beautiful, and the team there knows their stuff. I can't recommend Shannon Fennell enough for her work with couples, relationships, marriage, and those navigating adoption, infertility, and fostering.
