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.
Great to meet you! I’m a multistate-licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in mental health and trauma-informed care. I have worked with adolescents, adults, older adults, veterans, and current and former professional athletes. I know reaching out for support can feel difficult, so I strive to make therapy comfortable from the start. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, the beach, yoga, traveling, sporting events, and time with my dogs, family, and friends.
I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and bring experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds. As a bilingual counselor, I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.
I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, grief, life transitions, betrayal and infidelity, self-esteem challenges, and stress. I also enjoy supporting couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the counseling process while welcoming individuals from all beliefs and backgrounds.
My practice style is open minded, solution focused, and direct to the point. I love to help any individual from a humanistic point of view. I am extremely empathetic, love to be honest and being honest with my patients is key in my every day practice.
Welcome. I provide virtual therapy to adults 18 and up in both Washington state and Florida. In addition to seeing people for a wide range of concerns including mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, I have expertise in adjustment issues/life transitions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, coping with chronic health issues, and concerns related to aging.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Miami
Finding family therapists in Miami starts with identifying what your family wants support with, such as parenting conflict, adolescent concerns, blended family dynamics, stepfamily therapy, or communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with relationships and patterns within the family system, rather than focusing only on one person. As you compare options, look for a Miami family therapist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match your needs, whether that includes relationship family therapy, father-son counseling, or support for major family changes.
Miami has many therapists across neighborhoods like Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Little Havana, so narrowing your options can help you find a better fit faster. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, work, or school fit your schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for multiple family members to attend. Family counseling in Miami may include the full family, a parent and child, siblings, or individual members at different points. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates with families, and approaches conflict.
Family counseling in Miami can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family counselors in Miami who are accepting new patients and offer clear scheduling options, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm which providers may be covered based on your specific plan and location.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
