Hello my name is Crystal Alvarez I use Ella/She/Her pronouns. I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) I completed my clinical training and education in El Paso, Texas. My dream has always been to create a safe environment where people can freely express themselves and explore their experiences without the fear of discrimination or judgement. In our sessions, I will maintain a transparent approach to the process at all times in order to maintain a safe space for sharing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will do a brief introduction, leading to discussing what has brought you to therapy. Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity to talk to each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Providing support for minority communities has been the primary focus of my professional training and education. My passion as a therapist is empowering underserved communities such as POC, women and minority groups. I strongly believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

Traumatic experiences change our perception and our ability to understand the world around us which is what makes it so important to be mindful of; throughout therapy.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Culturally sensitive approaches allow therapy sessions a variety of perspectives and experiences that can be explored and discussed.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT will guide sessions with a variety of grounding techniques and strategies that will allow you to better manage any symptoms as you experience them.
