Dr Shelia Rivers (LCSW)

Hi, I’m Dr. Shelia Rivers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s & Doctorate in Social Work and a Master’s in Public Health. I am licensed in both Louisiana and Mississippi, and I bring over 15 years of professional experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My work has focused on supporting clients through stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, depression, and major life transitions. While my areas of expertise are trauma, women’s mental health, and developing effective coping skills, I welcome all individuals seeking support—because healing is never one-size-fits-all. I created Girl Get Your Life Together, a wellness-based program designed to help women shift from survival mode to a life that feels purposeful, grounded, and whole. My approach to therapy is compassionate, honest, and collaborative. I use evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused interventions, and solution-focused techniques to guide you toward meaningful growth. I prioritize creating an open and safe environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely, without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage—and I’m proud of you for getting started. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, I’m here to walk with you through the healing process and help you create the life you deserve.
