Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Therapists in Providence, RI

I love to help people reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives including love, work, play, spirit and health.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

At Arroyo Psychological Services, we believe that therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection. We are a team of compassionate clinicians dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore challenges, build resilience, and discover meaningful growth. Our approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice. We meet each client where they are—honoring their unique experiences, values, and goals—while helping them develop the tools and insight needed to create lasting change. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or personal development, we aim to guide our clients toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being. We take pride in being a diverse and collaborative team united by a shared mission: to make high-quality mental health care accessible, personalized, and grounded in authentic connection. At Arroyo Psychological Services, we don’t just provide therapy—we partner with our clients in creating meaningful, lasting transformation.

Therapy is an investment. Much is at stake. Is it your career, your marriage or your life? Not all therapists are equally skilled. I want you to know my expertise & how I will help you before you see me. Listen to my free audio at REBTDoctor.com I have practiced for 31 years.

I am the owner of PSYCHē, PLLC, a behavioral health consulting firm dedicated to providing our clients with the most effective, personable, and solid network of therapists in the country. We are a private network of expert therapists specializing in hand-selecting top psychologists and counselors across multiple states. Our goal is to match clients with their perfect therapist. As a seasoned Cognitive Behavioral Therapy therapist (CBT) and Linehan Board Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT-LBC™), I believe it is my job to not only provide great care to MY clients, but also to rigorously vet therapists who see the clients I can't.

Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and Lifespan Health provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
