Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Oviedo, FL

I am a "out of the box" therapist and qualified supervisor. I specialize in difficult cases. If you have been treated in the past and have not realized any appreciable changes or benefits, you may be discouraged and believe therapy doesn't "work".

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides a sophisticated intellectual partnership for adults who feel internally chaotic despite external high-performance. My approach is designed for the intellectually curious—the high-achiever navigating "fraud" syndrome, complex trauma, or intense emotional volatility. I offer a high-fidelity space where we move beyond standard therapeutic scripts to name the underlying patterns you have been living in but could not quite see.

Hello, I’m Star. I am a Licensed Mental Health and Addictions Counselor and am currently returning to school to pursue a Master’s Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, with the goal of holistically integrating mental and physical well-being. I graduated from the University of Colorado in 2016 with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health.

I began my counseling career working and volunteering in drug rehabilitation centers and community mental health centers and later gained experience within the criminal justice system through work in county jails and the Colorado state prison system, where I have been practicing since 2016.

My primary interests include working with trauma, substance use disorders, and general mental health and wellness, with an emphasis on movement and proper nutrition due to their impact on how we think and feel. I prefer a holistic approach, focusing on finding what works best for each individual client. I am trained in diversity and inclusion and utilize a person-centered approach in my professional practice.

My motto is, “You can’t pour from an empty cup,” and my goal is to help clients fill their cups so they can be more present for themselves and their loved ones.

I’m Nicole Alvarez, LMHC, a Tampa therapist for couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. I help busy partners and parents reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and gain practical tools for daily life. Evening and weekend telehealth across Florida; part‐time in‐office sessions in Tampa. Private‐pay welcome; superbills provided. Whether you’re an executive couple facing withdrawal, repeated conflict, and work–life spillover, or a blended family navigating loyalty, boundary, and logistical strain, you want discreet, time‐efficient, results‐focused therapy that fits your schedule.

Using Emotion‐Focused, systems, and skills‐based methods, I create evidence‐informed plans for executives, couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. We set clear goals, improve communication and co‐parenting, and use brief between‐session practices. Same-week telehealth, evenings/weekends, part‐time Tampa office, packages and superbills.

My path to becoming a mental health provider grew out of a combination of personal experience, professional curiosity, and a deep desire to help others feel empowered in their own lives. Early experiences with trauma shaped the way I understand healing, resilience, and the importance of having support during life’s most overwhelming moments. While challenging, those experiences ultimately planted the seed for what would become my career.

I am deeply interested in the ways people adapt, survive, and make meaning out of hardship. This led me to pursue formal training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, along with a commitment to ongoing continuing education. Over more than a decade of practice, I have supported individuals navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, family violence, grief, and major life transitions.
