Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Monica Alvarez, an LCPC licensed in Illinois with 12 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I specialize in treating narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, codependency, depression, anxiety, trauma, and help clients process and heal from painful experiences. My goal is to create a supportive, compassionate space where you can grow and thrive. Let’s work together to help you find clarity and healing—schedule a session today!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenges. My approach is collabative, warm and empathic.

What you can expect from our first session

Sunflowers are a beautiful reminder that even in the harshest conditions, strength and resilience can flourish. Standing tall, they reach toward the light, symbolizing longevity and unwavering determination. They remind us that, just like them, we too can grow, find enlightenment, and experience personal transformation even during life’s toughest moments. Let the sunflower inspire you to keep turning toward the light, embracing each day as an opportunity for growth and spiritual awakening.
