Lorena Alvarez

I have over 10 years of experience helping adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, identity issues, and life changes. Many of my clients identify as high functioning, first-generation and/or bicultural. They often feel overwhelmed by pressures such as family expectations, self-doubt, or the pressure to hold everything together for others. Ofrezco terapia en español.

A commitment to expanding access to high-quality mental health care—particularly within underserved BIPOC communities—led me to the mental health field.

I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma and trauma related disorders with a combination of DBT, EMDR and holistic modalities.

My approach to therapy is warm and holistic with a the lens that our behavior cannot be fully understood without exploring our environments . I aim to create a space that feels both safe and empowering, where you can explore at your own pace while also gaining practical insight and direction.

In our first session, we slow down and make sense of what’s been hard to name. Together, we’ll begin to understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
