Abigail Rivadelo

Counseling Psychologist for Diverse Couples and Families

I specialize in couples therapy with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, while also welcoming straight couples seeking growth and healing. I walk alongside couples with compassion, clarity, and care—especially when pain begins to overshadow connection. Sometimes partners drift—not because love has disappeared, but because hurt has built walls around it. Old wounds awaken protectors that push, pull, or retreat in an effort to keep the heart safe. Words grow sharp, silence heavy, and intimacy feels risky. Yet beneath the defenses, something tender remains: a longing to be seen, heard, and held. In our work together, I hold space for the quiet ache between two people who may feel lost, disconnected from the warmth they once shared, or burdened by repeated misunderstandings. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and rooted in deep respect for each partner’s inner world. I help couples explore the parts within—those that protect and those that are hurting—to foster safety, rebuild trust, and support healing. Together, we create space to meet vulnerability with kindness, allowing attachment wounds to be seen and soothed. Alongside this deeper work, I offer practical tools to repair ruptures, strengthen intimacy, and restore the foundation of your relationship. Whether you’re holding on, letting go, or unsure where to begin, I’m here to walk with you.
