Dr. Rivka Edery's clinical practice

Feelings Before a Session:

Imagine feeling weighed down by life's challenges—perhaps anxiety, grief, or self-doubt.

As you contemplate seeking therapy, there's a mix of anticipation and vulnerability.

You wonder if this step will genuinely make a difference.

Ensuring Care During a Session:

In my virtual office, you're greeted with warmth and empathy. I listen intently,

creating a safe space where your emotions can unfold. My approach is like

a gentle breeze—supportive yet invigorating. Together, we explore the

intricate landscape of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Ideal Outcome After a Session:

As the session unfolds, something magical happens. You gain clarity—a fresh perspective

on your inner world. I skillfully weave evidence-based techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS).

You learn to embrace your emotions, release self-judgment, and become authentic.

The Transformation:

After a session with me, you may notice subtle shifts. The sunset seems more vibrant,

and laughter bubbles up unexpectedly. You make plans with loved ones, feeling lighter

and more resilient. The skip in your step returns—a sign that healing is underway.

Emotional Resilience:

- Imagine standing tall, like an ancient tree rooted in self-awareness.

Through mindfulness and self-compassion, you'll weather life's storms with grace.

Your emotional landscape becomes fertile ground for growth and strength.

Authenticity Unleashed:

Shed the masks that no longer serve you. Celebrate vulnerability as your authentic self blooms. In my virtual sanctuary, authenticity thrives. Here, your wounds become armor,

and your scars tell stories of resilience.

Meaningful Relationships:

- Trust, laughter, and shared vulnerability weave the fabric of connection.

Communication is a dance—a rhythm of attunement and resonance.

Boundaries are bridges, not walls. Intimacy is the art of weaving

your story with another's.

Purpose Illuminated:

- Your purpose isn't a distant peak; it's the ground you walk upon. Align with

your core values—the bright stars guiding your journey. Your unique gifts form constellations, shaping your destiny. Threads of meaning weave through your days.

My Approach: Integrative and Holistic

1. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):

 - ACT is a powerful evidence-based approach that encourages mindfulness,

acceptance, and commitment to values. I integrate ACT principles to help you build psychological flexibility, manage difficult emotions, and live more meaningfully.

 - Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, ACT

provides practical tools to break free from unhelpful patterns and move toward valued goals.

2. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS):

 - IFS acknowledges the composition of our minds, which includes different "parts" with unique roles and emotions. I skillfully guide you in exploring these internal dynamics.

 - By understanding and harmonizing your inner parts, you can heal past wounds, reduce self-criticism, and foster self-compassion. IFS empowers you to lead a more authentic

and fulfilling life.

Why Choose Dr. Rivka Edery?

-Proficiency: I have a Psy.D. degree in Clinical Psychology, a Master's Degree

in Social Work, a Bachelor's Degree in Social Science, along with multiple clinical certifications. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, and enjoy seeing my clients move from inflexibility and lack of fulfillment to more psychological flexibility and meaning in life.

In my work as a therapist, I adopt the role of a 'Spiritual Warrior,' combining empathy

and insight. With ACT, I guide clients towards accepting their emotions. With IFS, we untangle the knots of their minds. Tears flow like rivers, washing away years of suffering. Together, we face fears head-on. We rebuild lives, restore relationships, and resurrect dreams through our efforts. I ignite flames of transformation, empowering change and harmony in the darkest storms.

This is my method of doing it:

-Compassion: I create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore

your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

-Tailored Solutions: I customize therapy to your unique needs, blending evidence-based techniques with warmth and empathy.

-Holistic Healing: My integrative approach considers mind, body, and spirit, promoting holistic well-being.

-Hope and Renewal: As you step out of my virtual office, you carry hope—a compass

guiding you toward renewal and self-discovery.

How do I define my ideal client?

My ideal client is someone who seeks clarity. Their genuine curiosity lies in emotions and their interest lies more in understanding rather than quick fixes. Unraveling their past, finding solace, and healing from their struggles is a solid desire they have. They yearn for wholeness and are ready to approach life with more mindfulness and flexibility.

They deeply desire empowerment and actively engage in their healing journey by

using tools and practicing mindfulness to rewrite their story. Their primary longing is for connection, as they search for deep connections and vulnerability within a secure and compassionate space.

I provide therapy sessions customized for individuals, couples, and families. Individuals, couples, and families can foster intimacy and connection by developing practical communication skills. My practice incorporates techniques such as IFS, ACT, the Gottman Method, and Polyvagal Theory.
