About

My name is Mary Danielle Alvarez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who focuses on identifying and processing barriers to becoming your most authentic self. I am passionate about utilizing a cognitive and solution-focused approach to join with clients while they navigate new territories, identify and implement strategies to increase self-fulfillment, and build self-awareness and insight to increase relationships with their loved ones. My approach I use an eclectic approach, comprised of client-centered/humanistic, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused. I often interweave a psychodynamic modality to assist clients in understanding how childhood experiences affect their worldview, feelings, and even behaviors. My focus I am most comfortable treating clients with depression, anxiety, and impulsive/reckless behaviors, that lead to issues at work, school or relationships with others. My communication style My tone with clients is one that communicates acceptance and understanding. I am compassionate and have the ability to connect and empathize with others. My goals for you I like to collaborate with my clients to ensure that the goals set are those that are of importance and value to them.
