About me

Hello, everyone! My name is Lyanna Alvarez, and I am thrilled to share this moment with you all. Currently residing in Orlando, Florida, I take pride in being a trans woman dedicated to fostering a supportive community where I can serve as a positive role model for fellow trans individuals. Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, I am fluent in both Spanish and English, allowing me to connect with a diverse range of people. I am eager to engage with all of you, share our stories, and build meaningful connections together!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our initial session, we'll take a relaxed approach to pinpoint the specific areas you'd like to focus on, allowing us to make progress one step at a time.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a clinician, I prioritize creating an environment that empowers my clients to challenge themselves and develop the skills they need to discover what truly resonates with them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are ready to move beyond survival mode and into a life that feels steady, meaningful, and self‑directed. My ideal client is navigating bipolar disorder, mood dysregulation, trauma histories, or stress‑ and adjustment‑related challenges, and is seeking a therapist who blends DBT skills with culturally attuned, strengths‑based care. They may feel overwhelmed by emotional intensity, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to build a life worth living, but they are open to learning new tools, exploring their inner landscape, and practicing change at a sustainable pace. I am especially aligned with clients who want to understand their moods, heal from what shaped them, and cultivate balance, boundaries, and self‑trust as they step into a fuller version of themselves.

She helped me to feel comfortable talking about what is taking place in my life. She also gave me some homework that is practical and can assist with some things that are difficult for me. She is relatable and friendly, and I felt like she truly had my best interest at heart. I also felt strongly that she was well qualified to assist with what I am dealing with.
