About Our Approach

We are a place that provides more than just psychotherapy. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, your counselor will help you identify limiting beliefs and outmoded coping mechanisms that may be standing in your way to a more fulfilling life. When engaging in treatment, we take into account the whole person including their history and culture when considering what approach would be best for your unique needs. Many clients report progress as a result of their active engagement in the treatment modalities we employ.

*All services are provided in Spanish as well as English. We also provide services in Arabic upon request.

YOGA

UNITE THE BODY & MIND

Yoga has been around to close to 10,000 years but only recently have we learned about its many benefits for both the body and mind. Rios & Associates is happy to be able to host weekly therapeutic yoga sessions for its existing clients. Please call or e-mail for availability as there is often limited space and times.

RESEARCH

MINDFULNESS

Partnered with the Huamin Research Center under Rutgers University, Dr.Rios has recently led cross-cultural research on mindfulness and its effects on both migrant and immigrant children. In the past couple of years, Dr.Rios, DSW and his partner, Claudia Maya, LMFT, along with his team, has led research involving school age children in both China and North Bergen. In February 2018, Dr.Rios presented his research at the Latin Mental Health Conference, which received much praise. Potential future research endeavors involving mindfulness and its effects on migrant and immigrant children may be presented in Jersey City schools, Panama, Puerto Rico and more.
