Counseling, consulting, and psychotherapy for individuals, families and children.


Hi, thank you for connecting with Connect With Kim; Dr. Kimberly Rivieccio, Ed.D, LMHC.

I am originally from Key West, Florida. This makes me a native “conch.” My experience growing up on an island helped to shape my philosophy. The sense of community, support, and love runs through my daily mission when working with clients. My compassion and empathy help me to form trusting relationships with individuals and families. I view my role as being available to listen and support you. I serve as a facilitator to help you find the answers that already exist within you. Through a connected and trusted relationship, I can explore your thoughts, feelings, needs, and goals. While I might not be able to resolve all problems, you will know that you have someone to support you during painful life experiences. My background includes a strong experience when working with children, teens, families, and educational systems. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). My theoretical approach is client-centered and I utilize cognitive-behavior therapy strategies. Many times this includes building new skills based on your needs. I utilize play therapy, ecotherapy (therapy in the natural environment), mindfulness strategies, relaxation techniques, solution-focused methods and thought restructuring. My belief is that striving to be perceived as “normal” is not the goal. I utilize a neurodiverse and strength-based philosophy. I do not seek a target of normalcy, but rather a goal to feel successful, included, accepted, and mentally well. I believe that connection is essential and this connection is the most important component in both therapy and family systems. I am available for counseling and consultation services.
