Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

The Helping Hive LLC was founded by couple Monica Rivas and Matthew Gonzales. Our passion for helping other has led us to pursue careers in the health and service industry. Throughout Monica's career in the field of Autism we noticed a gap in access and quality of care for individuals and there families who have gone through an autism diagnosis. We started The Helping Hive to bridge this gap in care and do our part to help the community.

Founder/BCBA

Monica Rivas M.S., BCBA

Hello! My name is Monica Rivas. I am the owner and clinical director as the first BCBA. I started working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 2017 as a DIR/Floortime Therapist in Los Angeles, CA. After moving to Sacramento, CA in 2020, I transitioned my services to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). By centering the clients interests at the forefront of services, it allowed me to identify a different way to connect and engage the clients I worked with. I have since expanded my skillset within the field of ABA, using a variety of behavioral principles to help my clients engage, sustain attention, and get excited about building their skills! Together we can make a difference for not only the child, but their family and the world around them!

Founder/Business Manager

Matthew Gonzales B.A.

Hi! I am Matthew. Helping others has been a passion of mine since I can remember! After working in the medical field for a short time I realized that I will be more fulfilled and effective helping others in a different way. That is why I changed course to pursue visual communications and entrepreneurship. A few years later I met my partner in crime, my fiance, Monica and she introduced me to the world of Behavioral Health. She opened my eyes to the many ways we can make a difference in peoples lives by utilizing our skillset to do what we do best, help others.
