Welcome! My name is Kenia Rijo and I am the Founder of Mind, Body And You Therapeutic Services. I have over a decade of experience in clinical settings working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity and anxiety. I am fluent in Spanish which allows for one to be able to serve a large range of clients in their healing journey. In my work I believe it is important to work together to help you develop coping skills, reduce anxiety and stress, cultivate self-love and compassion, and find peace using a strengths-based and person-centered approach. But most importantly our relationship will center on building a better and healthier you as whole- in mind, body, and spirit. It can feel like life is happening too fast and you may feel like you need air to breathe. Together we can work on setting manageable and realistic goals. In the process of wanting more for yourself, you may miss all the small victories that are just as important. Let’s work together to allow you the space to become your authentic self.

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” them, because therapy should be a place where you feel safe & understood. I will walk alongside you to help ease the burden you've been carrying, going only at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be. Together, we can help you find hope & discover a new vision for your future. As an experienced therapist, I believe the bravest thing you can do is be vulnerable with another person. Your vulnerability is safe with me. I also believe everyone has the ability to thrive-they just need a little guidance along with unwavering support. You get that with me. Call me for your free 15-minute consultation today-I can't wait to hear from you.
