 Treatment Approach

 Dr. Ríos is a dedicated, empathetic, and compassionate clinician determined to help individuals from all backgrounds achieve their goals. To promote wellness and address her patients’ needs, she uses an integrative approach to psychotherapy. Her treatment style seeks to empower patients and prioritize their autonomy by determining treatment goals through a collaborative process. One of her main priorities is to create a safe space built on trust and connection where you can be your most authentic self without fear of judgment. She believes only then can a journey of reflection, healing, and change begin.

Dr. Ríos is currently offering both tele health and in-person services in English and Spanish to adults ages 18 and up. Psychotherapy goes beyond targeting symptoms by helping you understand the root of the emotions and behaviors that are keeping you from living the life you want to live. If you are ready to start taking meaningful steps towards creating that life, please contact her directly at arios@DTAcare.com to schedule an appointment.
