Gillermina Alvarado

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Gillermina Alvarado and I go by Mina. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Riverside, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I received my Master's from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing for 9 years.

I work with young children, adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief and loss, behavioral challenges, and life changes. My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable — I want my clients to feel comfortable speaking with me about anything and feeling safe, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

Above all, I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you have many strengths that will help you overcome what's challenging you. It takes courage to take the first steps toward change, and I'm here to support and empower you in that journey.

Life is hard, but these days, it feels even harder. It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed to the point of feeling stuck. This can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt, and even hopelessness. You may even judge yourself for feeling stuck or struggling. My hope is to help you get unstuck, connect to yourself, and feel excited about your life.
