Maureen Rivord, MSW, L.I.C.S.W.

Maureen Rivord has over 12 years of experience as a clinician working with both adolescents and adults in outpatient and residential settings utilizing evidence-based treatments. She genuinely enjoys getting to know her clients, building relationships and promoting bravery and vulnerability. 

Maureen received her Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from St. Catherine University/University of St. Thomas and since graduating, has completed specialized clinical training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). Maureen enjoys working with both adolescents and adults as well as parents or loved ones of clients looking for additional support or coaching. She values continuing education and learning new interventions that are proven to be effective. Her clinical interests include treating obsessive-compulsive disorder and the wide range of anxiety disorders using innovative treatments. She also has training and experience in working with eating disorders, identity development concerns, ADHD and depression. She looks forward to learning more about her clients and working together to help clients move towards what is important to them.

I feel privileged to help guide clients on a journey toward living more fulfilling lives. Whether a client struggles with anxiety, depression, perfectionism or an eating disorder, my therapeutic style is to take a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach in our work together. I strive to meet clients wherever they are, and help them more towards where they want to be based on their own goals and values. I believe connection, collaboration and humor are essential qualities to foster a trusting and warm therapeutic environment where I will encourage vulnerability and risk taking to help client's move towards what is important to them.
