Survivors of oppression and trauma by being justice-focused, affirming and collaborative
I am passionate about trauma informed care, restorative justice and harm reduction. Worked in all three areas throughout state of California predominantly in Bay Area and Los Angeles. My work with clients filmed in documentary and podcasts. Growing up exposed to community violence and oppressions speaks volumes in my work and faith to universe and healing ❤️???? components.
People are experts in their own needs and experiences. I work in a practice that is affirming of people of color, undocumented folks, sex workers, kink, polyamory, and LGBTQ+ communities. Ancestral healing is, in essence, being able to look to ancestors in the past and present — living ancestors, as well — and connect with them!

I provide psychological evaluations for immigration matters, including asylum, U- and T-visas, VAWA petitions, and hardship waivers. As a child of East African immigrants, I bring clinical expertise and lived understanding, with a deep appreciation for the emotional complexity of the immigration journey.
My trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach is grounded in warmth, patience, and respect. I offer a confidential, nonjudgmental space with clear structure throughout the evaluation process. All evaluations meet USCIS requirements, with well-documented reports tailored for legal review. I value open communication, timely completion, and collaboration with attorneys, with fast turnaround options available.
You don’t have to navigate this process alone. Schedule a consultation today and take the next step forward with support.

Greetings! My name is Karen Rivera-Seda and I am a Jamaica born 1st Generation American. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is trained in marriage, couples, and family therapy as well as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I have had the privilege of working with and supporting adults, teens and families across diverse settings and communities. Evaluations are conducted in English and Jamaican Patois (Patwah) or with the assistance of an interpreter for other languages. Being a 1st generation immigrant has afforded me not only firsthand experience/knowledge of some of the difficulties, challenges and fears that immigrants may face while maneuvering the immigration process, but also an awareness to the importance of empathy, compassion and cultural competence being present in every interaction. It takes courage to embark on this journey and as such I strive to provide a non-judgmental experience where each applicant feels safe, supported and heard.

I own a private virtual psychotherapy practice where I provide evidenced based talk therapy to neurodivergent adults living with autism, ADHD, OCD, and depression. I served as the senior clinical therapist in a community mental health center where I provided interdisciplinary clinical healthcare to adults who have severe and persistent mental illness. I worked for the Department of Human Services as a child protection caseworker, where I collaborated with several attorneys and regulatory bodies, wrote & submitted court reports, and testified as an expert witness in dependency & neglect cases. I am trained and experienced in adapting clinical interventions according to cultural context.
