Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Fernanda Alves a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a mission rooted in compassion and a commitment to your well-being. With licenses in both FL and MA, I bring over 10 years experience helping individuals of all ages in various settings, including non profit organizations and schools. Having navigated my own journey with anxiety and ADHD, I understand the complexities of suffering and the limitations of talk therapy alone.

My approach to therapy

Armed with a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach, I am dedicated to guiding my clients toward tangible progress. I believe in a warm and compassionate yet firm and challenging therapeutic style. You won't find me simply validating feelings; I'm here to support transformative change.

What you can expect from me

Having personally faced the challenges of obtaining an ADHD diagnosis later in life, I am particularly passionate about assisting women on a similar journey. I know the profound impact a timely diagnosis can have on one's life and overall well-being.My goal is to create a safe space where you can explore, grow, and confront challenges head-on.
