I support women, men, couples, and groups in healing their relational trauma and sexually compulsive behaviors.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS), EMDR +. When people have experienced abandonment and rejection from early in life to adulthood, it can create heartbreak and betrayal like no other. If you tend to get into destructive relationships where you end up hurt or end up hurting others, the grief, despair, and shame can be debilitating and overwhelming. It will be hard to show up in your relationships and be present. There will be struggles with relationships, with work, with children, and financial issues.

With an extensive background in serving clients with complex trauma I enjoy working with both internalized and externalized "tough" (acting out, aggressive, defiant) behaviors.
As an adult there comes a time when emotions can defy logic and we exceed our ability to reason through and remedy how we are feeling on our own. Similarly, there are times when even the most supportive parent can reach an impasse and need additional support for their child; especially when children are engaging in difficult, overwhelming and even triggering behaviors.

You don’t have to continue feeling stuck due to anxiety or trauma, and you don’t have to do it alone.
Do you find yourself not living up to the expectations of others, no matter how hard you try? You’re someone who is riddled with anxiety but still finds yourself frozen, feeling fearful of the future and stagnant with your existence in the present. One can struggle with how to show up with oneself or others. But you’re ready to make a change. You're ready to challenge your internal belief system. You’re ready to grow exponentially within your capacity of self. Most of all, rely on your validation of self-worth. I want to help you get there.

Contrary to popular opinion that can characterize therapy as designed for unhealthy or dysfunctional people, my experience and belief is that therapy is for people seeking to improve their lives and their relationships.

My areas of specialization are Trauma, Suicidality, Crisis Intervention, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Life transitions, Family conflicts, couple therapy; Additional training in SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and referral to treatment), Motivational Interview training, and Accelerated resolution therapy (ART) trained.
“Your mental health is everything — prioritize it. Make the time like your life depends on it because it does.” — Mel Robbins. I believe that I didn't choose to be a mental health professional, the profession chose me. I remember helping my friends in High school with their traumas and life transition issues. The ability to connect and make people feel comfortable talking to me about their personal stories took me on this professional path. What I love the most about being a mental health professional is having the opportunity and privilege of being a part of people’s journeys.

HOPE is what initiates change. Imagine a life where your family was no longer defined by your child's trauma, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, or anger. What a freeing experience that would be! An individual can only be as happy as their least happy loved one- as hurt occurs within the context of relationships, so does healing. Hoping for a stable, safe, and happy family is what marks readiness for therapy. Little people with big problems may effortlessly grow into big people with bigger problems, so the critical nature of childhood and adolescence provides opportunity to shift this life trajectory.

Since 1993, I have treated women and children that struggle with grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self esteem, body image and relationship issues.
Finding the right match between client and therapist is the most critical factor in achieving a positive treatment outcome. It takes a great amount of trust to form a therapeutic relationship. Compassion coupled with confronting unhealthy coping that one may not be aware of are keys to lasting change. My clients often report feeling not only understood, but also helped in understanding their struggles from another perspective. Together we explore unhelpful patterns while practicing healthier ways of being. Clients know my level of sincerity, knowledge and dedication fairly quickly as I believe genuineness is essential to good treatment outcomes.

Much of my previous research focused on the long-term effects of trauma and how it can lead to physical symptoms or illnesses.
Hello, I'm Dennis Alvarez. Counseling should encourage and challenge individuals to meet their fullest potential by addressing their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. When I work with clients, I like to help them understand how and why certain behaviors or patterns of behaviors occur. I work with individuals with a history of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse issues.

My private counseling practice offers services to individuals, couples, family and children whose past trauma and or mental health interfere with their daily life.
I have witnessed the value of resilience through healing. In my practice, I work with clients to offer individualized treatment to who you are as person, rather than cookie cutter services. The stigma associated with therapy and mental health, especially in the minority communty is damaging. Our fear of looking “crazy”, especially in todays' society continues to hold us back. You are not crazy for getting the help you need. You deserve to heal. Your community needs you to heal so you can give back in a healthy way. Your healing is your community healing.
