Psychologist in Cincinnati, Ohio Javier Robledo Rivera, Psychologist

Javier Robledo Rivera (he/they) is a queer, Boricua, Spanish and English-speaking Psychologist in Ohio who has been practicing since 2021. They hold a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Albizu University of Puerto Rico and additional training in Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy, Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy, and Gender, Kink and Polyamory Affirming Care. Javier utilizes a relational and constructivist approach to therapy incorporating feminist, emotion focused, affirmative, and social justice practices to accompany clients.

When it comes to clinical work, their areas of interest are gender identity, racial trauma, mood instability, polyamory, kinks, relational concerns, and supporting clients in identity exploration. They hope to offer support by meeting the clients where they are while holding space for all the complexities that make them human. They actively bring their whole complex self into the therapy session to maintain awareness of their positions and the systems we live in.

Outside of work, Javier enjoys listening to music and communicating through it, open world games, reading poetry, exploring nature, drag shows, traveling, and the beach is their favorite spot to be at (constantly misses it and does not enjoy the cold!). They are from Puerto Rico, but were born in Philadelphia, have lived in New York and Miami, and constantly travel to Berkeley, California to visit a special piece of their heart. The rest and majority of the time is spent enjoying time with their nesting partner and their two cats.
