About

"***Please Note: Jose Alvear is a provider within Headway’s provider network. After booking your appointment you will receive an email from Headway with instructions to setup your Headway patient account. You will need to complete this setup in order to confirm your appointment.*** What should your client know about you? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that primarily works with people who suffer from body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like trichotillomania and skin picking disorder. I am trained in habit reversal therapy as well as the COMB models which is the training by the BFRB Foundation. I also work with other disorders including anxiety, depression, PTSD and OCD. What is your approach to therapy? For people with BFRBs I use various approaches including talk therapy, habit reversal, CBT, and COMB. What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? I like to create warm welcoming environments where clients can be free to open up and talk about things that are difficult to speak about."
