Christi Rivera-Magda has worked for several years as a care coordinator and intern at Newport Healthcare, a mental health rehabilitation institution for adolescent girls. They possess a strong background and understanding of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and co-occurring disorders. Christi has received education from Fairfield University and Southern Connecticut State University, which has prepared them to work with adolescents and adults to understand their unique problems. They create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can freely explore and better understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
Christi is a dedicated clinician who deeply understands several mental and behavioral issues, mainly eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. They understand the unique challenges that everyone faces during that age, from the complexities of identity exploration to the pressures of societal expectations and the journey toward independence.
Christi believes in meeting clients at their level and that everyone has the tools to be happy and prosperous. Sometimes, we need to be reminded of the strengths we possess within us. That is why they offer tailored support to adolescents and young adults facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and co-occurring issues. A safe and collaborative approach empowers clients to develop coping skills, challenge negative thought patterns, and foster resilience for sustainable healing and personal growth.
If you or someone you know is navigating the challenges of adolescence or young adulthood, facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or co-occurring issues, Christi is here to help. Let's work together to foster resilience and promote personal growth. Reach out for support and empowerment on your journey.
