Riley Bidwell-MFT Student Therapist
Riley strongly believes that people can move through problems easier when they are met with empathy and a connection with others. His educational background has helped prepare him to work with individuals, couples, and families to overcome challenges they may be facing.
Riley believes that everyone processes life events and challenges differently. Therefore, his method is to collaborate with those he is helping to figure out the best way they are going to take on such challenges. Whether it be issues regarding self-esteem, relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ identification, or a major life transition, Riley supports clients throughout their therapeutic process.
Staying true to his goal of meeting clients wherever they are, he keeps this quote by Pema Chodron in mind: “Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded, it’s a relationship between equals.” Riley enjoys taking the time to honor each person’s story, working collaboratively to cocreate or “re-author” a new story of growth and healing.
Riley is willing to meet in person as well as virtually.
