Hi, I’m Alvis — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Gainesville, FL.
Before counseling, I spent years in the health and fitness industry in New York City, helping clients who felt stuck or overmatched in their goals. I later trained in spiritual wellness at St. Andrew’s Church here in Gainesville. Both experiences taught me the same lesson: real growth means working with mind, body, and spirit together. It brings me immense joy to see my clients go from stuck to flourishing.
I work with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and college students.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, substance abuse, codependency, family and couples counseling, and life transitions.
