  • Tess Riabokin, LCSW



    Tess specializes in helping clients who struggle with always taking on the caretaker role and putting themselves last to engage in relationships in healthier ways so that they can experience more comfort and energy for themselves. Her clients often describe having grown up with parents that were demanding and critical, sometimes with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and/or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) traits, and how they learned that their needs don't matter or there's no point in advocating for themselves. Tess helps clients step out of these old relational patterns that no longer serve them and into healthy, mutually caring relationships. If you want to experience healing and enjoy comfortable, energizing relationships, we recommend you work with Tess.
