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.

You may be the person everyone relies on, or a parent wondering how best to help your child. You do not have to figure it out alone. I am Susanna W. Smith, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Psychology, Mental Health Counseling from St. Thomas University. Drawing on my work in schools and community mental health, I support children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, ADHD, and life changes. I offer a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and find a way forward.

If you're navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, or carrying the weight of military service, you don't have to do it alone. I'm a therapist based in Central Florida with over 30 years in the behavioral health field, and I specialize in helping people find their footing again — whether that's adjusting to a new season of life, healing from a difficult experience, or working through the complexities of relationships. I have a particular passion for working with older adults, and I also provide military resilience support for veterans and service members.

I believe that the client will take the lead in sharing what brings themt to therapy, that we have open discussions and will work together to empower the client to find ways to manage their struggles or concerns
