As a trauma therapist (EMDR) and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, (CSAT), I focus on both individual work and repairing broken relationships related to the impact of addiction and trauma.

This groundbreaking work assists people who are either in recovery, have relationship issues or who just want to enhance the quality of their lives.

Helping Little Hearts Counseling was founded to provide services to children, adolescents and their families in the surrounding community. Today, more than ever, our youth need extra help as they are struggling emotionally, behaviorally and socially.

These issues range from Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Grief, Trauma, behavioral concerns and adjustment issues.

My specialties are trauma, family of origin issues, women's issues, parenting, spiritual issues, LGBT, and mood issues, including stress and anger. I pride myself on being an advocate for those who appear to have no voice in our society whether it is due to mental illness, economics, race or culture.

I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate atmosphere, in which you can safely explore and work feelings, thoughts, images, and beliefs that maybe keeping you from moving forward in life. I believe that for therapy to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing treatment goals and assessing progress. Efforts to change self-perception, emotions and behaviors require work both in session and out of session. Therapy is a process in which you, the client gain insight, and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after the counseling has ended.

Hi, first, thank you for visiting my page. My name is Ivis Alvarez, LPC-E. I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I received my MA in 2018 from Regent University. I am working on my license as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) under Mellisa Miller, LPC.

Hello! I work with those seeking confidential and discreet support in working through personal challenges and stressors impacting their everyday lives. Many individuals struggle with depression and anxiety, trauma, problems in relationships, work-related conflicts, or simply put, that feeling that something "just isn't right." Difficult feelings can be hard, however, also a gateway for personal growth. You do not have to go through this alone. My goal is to help you gain awareness and explore difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences which prevent you from feeling like your best self, and improve your relationships.

I approach counseling from a cognitive behavioral perspective, meaning that I believe that our thoughts produce our feelings and our feelings produce our behaviors. However, I also use EMDR and Internal Family Systems in combination with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to give my clients a range of avenues to find their healing. I try to make every session practical and productive. I have also written a book, "Forgive and Live", which I use in group therapy and has recently been re-written as a video series.
