Great to meet you!

I am a triple board-certified psychiatrist with years of clinical experience and medical teaching. I focus on Brain Sciences, Emotional regulation, Chronic illnesses, positive interventions, empowerment, mind-body healing, and re-programming. I help individuals to achieve their wellness goals, including personal and professional growth. The comprehensive neuropsychiatric assessments are personalized to the medical, emotional, situational, and spiritual targets @ www.brainxdynamics.com

My approach to therapy

My practice is patient-centered and integrates a traditional approach with cutting-edge interventions. I collaborate with Primary Care Doctors, Nutritionists, and other providers to achieve optimal outcomes. My philosophy centers on enhancing overall individual skills through evidence-based practices and empathetic care. Some of the areas of expertise are Reproductive Psychiatry, Women 's and Men's health, Memory, Healthy aging, prevention of chronic illnesses, binge eating & Lifestyle Medicine.

What you can expect from me

The initial two sessions will include many questions, and assessments to address the initial intervention. For the first couple of months, the provider and client will begin to work on the initial treatment plan and monitor for changes or necessary adjustments. Nutritional status, laboratory tests, and medical records may be requested during the assessments. Dr. Alvarez is certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, Addiction Medicine, and Consultation Psychiatry @ www.brainxdynamics.com
