Alvis Duncan

Alvis Duncan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Gainesville, FL


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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Trenton, FL


You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, unsure why things feel harder than they used to. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down at night, your mood shifts more than you’d like, or daily responsibilities feel heavier than before. You might feel frustrated trying to manage it all on your own, wondering if things will ever feel easier.

At Journi Alignment Mental Health, I help adults and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders move toward emotional balance through personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing support, offered via telehealth or in an outpatient clinic setting.

When you meet with me, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where your concerns are heard without judgment. I take time to listen and understand your story, symptoms, and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that may include thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and practical strategies to help you feel more stable and confident in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, you are always part of the decision-making process.

Over time, many clients begin to feel more balanced, more rested, and more in control of their emotions and routines. Imagine sleeping better, feeling less anxious, and having the energy to reconnect with the people and activities that matter most. My goal is to help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward in your mental health journey.

I'm a therapist in private practice based in Florida, working with clients via telehealth from the comfort of my home - golden retrievers included. I've been in the mental health field since 2011, starting with residential treatment for women navigating addiction and dual diagnoses, then outpatient, and now private practice. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of stress that piles up when everything seems to be happening at once - and I bring warmth, humor, and a whole lot of genuine care to every session.
