I am currently accepting new clients. If you’ve been carrying the weight of past trauma, feeling stuck in anxiety, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts, you’re not alone. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds who are ready to process painful experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of safety and control. Healing is possible—and therapy can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward at your own pace.
I have over two decades of Social Work experience. I have worked in high school settings for over 20 years with a variety of students to include: LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, and teen parenting. Prior to working in the school setting, I worked with homeless families as well as domestic violence victims.
I believe therapy works best when it feels human, so let me start by telling you a little about me. Outside of session, you will usually find me outdoors. I take long walks with my husband and our dachshund. I spend as much time in nature as I can, I go to yoga classes, longboard and sing. Those things keep me grounded, and they are part of why I believe so much in the value of small, sustainable practices that bring you back to yourself.
In my practice, I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and questions of identity. I also support people through family issues, relationship struggles, stress and burnout, ADHD, and grief. I am inquisitive, warm, and not easily rattled.
Change can occur but I want to empower you to accept what you cannot change and come up with an effective plan to change what you can!
I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Key West
Searching for therapists in Key West starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. People often look for therapy support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. A bio may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, or support for specific life stages.
Key West has a smaller local therapy market than larger Florida cities, so virtual appointments can help expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. You may prefer an in-person office near Old Town, Bahama Village, or Solares Hill, or a virtual session that fits your schedule. As you narrow your search, check whether each therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, structures sessions, and approaches care.
Therapy in Key West can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you search therapists who match your preferences, check your insurance, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.
