We’re honored to share that our practice is a VIP sponsor of this year’s gala benefiting Planned Parenthood 💫

Celestial Soirée 2026 is more than a beautiful evening — it’s a commitment to protecting women’s health and reproductive rights at a time when access to care is under threat.

As a therapy practice rooted in bodily autonomy, informed choice, and whole-person care, we deeply value and support access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare. When we advocate for mental health, we are also advocating for medical autonomy, safety, and dignity.

This year’s gala is a call to stand up for access, equity, and care. By attending, you help ensure doors stay open and essential services remain available to the communities who depend on them.

In uncertain times, one thing is clear: our community matters — and we show up.

Join us. Stand with us. Protect care.

Meet Mesa! 🐾✨She’s a 3.5-year-old Portuguese Water Dog with a big personality and an even bigger sense of adventure. Mesa is best known for proudly picking up the largest stick she can possibly find on hikes and for her signature sneak attacks from behind that may or may not involve taking out knees along the trail. 😄🌲

When she’s not keeping things exciting outdoors, Mesa enjoys soaking up love, staying close to her human, and living her best spoiled-pup life. 💛

Mesa belongs to Shannon Fennell, one of our amazing therapists here at Riviera Therapy, and we are so happy to have her as part of our extended pack!

Does your dog have a mischievous or adventurous streak too? Tell us in the comments! ⬇️
