Clients say this provider is
Hello, my name is Mayra Alvarez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy working with clients through different life stages and supporting them in different areas of their lives. Let’s work together to heal childhood, life, or relationship wounds. Life can be hard but with the right coping skills you can manage the challenges life throws . At this time I cannot serve Los Angeles County clients.
Our first session will be to get to know each other and figure out if we are a good fit. We’ll also be talking about what brings you to therapy and what goals you want to work on. Once we’re both on the same page a treatment plan will be created which will be a general guideline for the following sessions.
With 7 years of experience, I pride myself in being able to hold a safe space for my clients to be vulnerable and foster healing. Life can be hard but our sessions don’t have to be. We can take a deep dive or just talk mundane events.
I love working with adolescents and adults through various life changes and hurdles. I am bilingual in Spanish and open to having English, Spanish, or Spanglish sessions. Let’s work together to make life enjoyable.

I use Supportive therapy by providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult times.
I provide support during the 5 stages of grief (denial, bargaining, anger, depression, and acceptance). During this difficult I help clients adjust to their loss, explore different grief reactions and symptoms, as well as form healthy coping skills.
Change can be hard. With Motivational Interviewing, the client and I explore and resolve any ambivalence regarding change.
