My Approach to Helping
Hello, I'm Dennis Alvarez. Counseling should encourage and challenge individuals to meet their fullest potential by addressing their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. I have a professional Psychology Doctorate as well as a post-graduate diploma in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
My previous professional experiences include providing group and individual therapy as well as comprehensive assessments to adults in hospitals, substance use centers, and in private practice.
When I work with clients, I like to help them understand how and why certain behaviors or patterns of behavior occur. I work with individuals with a history of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse issues.
I always seek to create a safe and therapeutic environment while remaining supportive and nonjudgmental. I will use our therapy time to encourage you to live your best, most authentic life.
