Hello! I’m Dr. Shelia Rivers, DSW, LCSW, MPH, the CEO and Chief Therapist here at Rivers Psychotherapy Services, where we’re all about helping you live your best life. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker, I’ve dedicated my career to providing counseling and support to individuals, children, teens, adults, couples, families, and groups. Whether you’re facing life’s challenges or just need a little guidance, I’m here to help you navigate the journey.

I’ve got a pretty impressive educational background, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Education, a Master in Social Work, a Master in Public Health-Executive Administration, and a Doctor of Social Work. But what really fuels my passion is the opportunity to share my gift of therapy with those who need it most.

Licensed in both Mississippi and Louisiana, I find immense joy in empowering others, helping them develop healthier coping skills, and watching them grow into the best versions of themselves. For me, social work isn’t just a profession – it’s a calling. It’s all about making a meaningful impact on my community and the lives of the amazing individuals I have the privilege to serve.

When I’m not in the office, you might find me indulging in my hobbies – refurbishing antique furniture, embarking on mini day trips, hunting for treasures in thrift stores, expanding my collection of coffee accessories, or simply relaxing on the beach with my feet in the sand. And fun fact: I’m a rehabilitated shoe-aholic! Life’s all about balance, right?

I’m excited to continue this journey, and I can’t wait to see the positive changes we’ll create together!
